Shibari in Public
Rope bondage has become very famous around the world, thus every day there are new spaces where you can perform a shibari session in public. In order to perform shibari in public, there are some important things that you need to be aware of. Remember that, in every scene, safety is key.
Shibari in Public: No. 1
One of the most important things that you must establish with your partner, regardless if you are practicing in private or in public, is negotiation. Similarly, you need to discuss general safety protocols agreed between the two of you beforehand. Especially if you are doing shibari in a public space, you might have interactions with people you do not know, which will need clear negotiations.
The Space Itself: No. 2
You also need to check the space where you will be performing carefully. You should determine if it is adequate for your preference and needs. Be careful to check the objects, walls, and ceilings, as well as how close other people will be during the play. With this, you can plan your scene and be aware of every detail that can interfere. Before you start with the shibari scene, make sure to check the people around, how close they are, and their drinks. Do not lose sight of anything around that might snag with your rope.
Shibari in Public: No. 3
The lighting in public play spaces is generally dark. For this reason, you might not be able to see clearly what you are doing. Therefore, be ready with the type of ties and interaction you will be performing. In addition, the place could also be very loud. Music and noise from participants is something that might interfere with the communication with your partner. There will be more distractions and interruptions during your scene, so it might be hard to focus. This will need practice: you really need to try to ignore everything around the scene and just focus on you and your partner.
Shibari in Public: Conclusions
It is important to consider these things. Be prepared before the scene so you can focus and perform as if no-one was around. All in all, shibari in public is a very gratifying experience.
