Shibari Awakening

I was sixteen. And I had no idea about what Shibari was. I didn’t even know much about kink. So, I wasn’t prepared for what happened. I feel a little embarrassed when I tell my story. But then again, that’s how my Shibari awakening took place, and I don’t regret it.

I was part of a theater workshop in high school. We were doing a play from some forgotten author. And I was the villain. Now, I wasn’t a good actor, and I wasn’t very interested in the whole acting thing, but Alice Treefold was there, and it was nice to spend a couple of afternoons around her every week. So, I did my best, even if it wasn’t much.

Anyway, there was a scene in which I had to tie her feet to my desk. I played a greedy landlord, and this was my way of making the hero come to face me. Now, in the rehearsals, I only simulated the tying, moving my hands in the air like an idiot, and Alice was wearing her uniform. However, for the premiere, I had to tie a real knot, and Alice was wearing a 1950s dress (the play was about a WWII veteran in postwar America). 

The point is that when she raised her skirt and I saw her leg covered in nylon, I felt an immediate bump in my pants. And it all got worse when I started tying her. She did this melodramatic complaints and moaning, which I had found ridiculous in the rehearsals. However, now it was all so exciting that my hands trembled, and I could barely tie the knot. The restraint, the pleasure and pain combined, the sheer domination of a beautiful woman, it was all new and exciting for me.

When we finished the scene, I went backstage and used my hand to release myself. Now, I wasn’t the kind of student who masturbates during a school play, but the whole thing had been so exciting, that I couldn’t help myself

Later, I would learn about Shibari and the fascinating world of bondage. But that first experience was marvelous. And I still tie my girlfriend’s feet from time to time.

This is the story of my Shibari awakening.
