More Tips for Shibari Couples

Shibari is a great activity for couples. It can be just a simple knot, or a complex suspension scene. In either case, you will see that bondage has a lot to offer to couples of all different kinds. In this article, we offer more tips for Shibari couples. And we hope they are useful for you.

You can be as creative as you want with Shibari. From color ropes to unorthodox positions, you can always add something new to a scene. Play with every element involved: the lightning, the ropes, the clothes, everything! Even though Shibari has a long and strong tradition behind it, this doesn’t mean you cannot use your imagination and add your own special touch to your bondage scenes.

A scene is a story. Nowadays, storytelling is a highly-valued ability. And what is storytelling? Basically, it is about giving meaning to your actions through a narrative. In other words, don’t just tie, tell a story. Don’t play generic top and bottom roles, create a story for each of you, and turn yourself into characters. By doing this, you will open new layers of enjoyment and satisfaction in your scenes together.

Make consent dynamic. Consent is not a barrier, a limit that indicates where the fun ends. Dynamic consent is a growing consent, according to the level of skill, trust, and intimacy among partners, as well as their willingness to take chances and innovate. In other words, today’s hard limit might be acceptable tomorrow, once the emotional bond among partners has grown stronger, and their responsibility and care for each other has developed. Shibari beginners might have a careful attitude at first, and it should be respected. However, once they see for themselves how much they can enjoy a scene, consent can be re-negotiated for the next scene. Just remember: you should not re-negotiate consent during a scene, and consent must be explicit and specific.
