Shibari is the Art that Empowers All Women

Shibari is the art of restraining someone with the use of rope, where the dominant binds the submissive, who voluntarily surrenders power and control. Consensual BDSM requires honest negotiation on what the partners wish and what their limitations are during a session or in a relationship. Here, we tell you why shibari is the art that empowers all women.

There is power in submission

Most people begin to reflect about their personal fantasies and fears thanks to the negotiations implemented in BDSM practices. Engaging in these activities allows them to recognize and experience several new feelings that make them less inhibited and more self-assured. As a result, people feel more confident. For some women—and men—the act of submitting in a respectful and consensual act is liberating. Feeling safe and secure about herself, and about her desires, is key to empower a woman.

Trust is key

In healthy dominant-submissive relationships, the power dynamic is equal. The hard limits are agreed upon beforehand. Power and trust are gifted to the dominant by the submissive, but the submissive can still control the entire interaction with a single word or action. Shibari is the art that empowers all women (and their partners) due to the trust, confidence and security you need to feel to have a successful bondage scene.

Practice Shibari and boost your confidence

Usually, people who practice rope bondage have good self-esteem. By practicing this art, your self-assurance can build up—creating more confidence and trust in yourself and in others. This can lead you to give up control and surrender, finally allowing yourself to enjoy and let go during a scene. Shibari grants a feeling of liberation and satisfaction to both riggers and bottoms, which empowers women—and men—every time they practice it.
