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 some tips for Shibari couples. And we hope they are useful for you.

First tip: exchange roles. In most couples, the man plays top and the woman plays bottom. In non-binary couples, the dominant partner is the rigger. The passive partner gets tied. This is fine. However, it is not mandatory. Exchanging roles will help you see things as your partner does. Besides, it is quite funny to assume a role you’re not accustomed to. 

Second tip: move around. Complex Shibari scenes, such as suspension, call for a studio. And many couples like to do their scenes in their own bedrooms, which is quite convenient if the scene has erotic overtones or if it include strong sexual elements. Nevertheless, for less complex scenes you can try other places, such as nice outdoors landscape, or a place that is meaningful for you as a couple. Make sure you’re not breaking any law or invading property. And enjoy!

Tip number three: always play safe. There is no such thing as a non-risk bondage scene. Even if it is just a chest harness or a couple of knots, consider every security measure required. This doesn’t mean that you ruin your fun and intimacy by carrying a checklist. It does mean, however, that you’re always responsible for your partners safety and your own.

Exchanging roles, moving around, and always playing safe will help you improve the quality and satisfaction of your scenes. Try it and see it for yourself.
