I will let you know some common mistakes in Shibari.
A common mistake is that people think that Shibari needs to look pretty from the first time. When you are first learning Shibari, and you are searching for videos and pictures, you will find beautiful ties and intricately crafted bounds that show the perfection of the body. All these images and pictures show that Shibari is something beautiful and perfect. And in some way it is, but it all depends on the expertise that you have. No one starts being an expert and doing the perfect tie and showing perfect aesthetics, so don’t worry, you will get to that point with practice and with the study.
Another mistake people always make is to expect people to react in a particular way. Everyone has different choices, and not everyone likes what you usually watch on Shibari videos or pictures. Not everyone is looking for the same thing in Shibari, and not everyone shares the same interests and experiences. There is no rule on how to practice Shibari.
