Benefits of Shibari: Four Ways to Satisfaction
Benefits of shibari are endless. In particular, a recent study has provided a classification for bondage—and it is different from any other catalogue before it. The researchers define the benefits of shibari in sight of it being a leisure activity. They say it has innumerable benefits for the mental health of those who practice it. And it does so as long as it stems from consent and in a climate of respect with both participants.
In general, I believe everything has its benefits. But when speaking about BDSM, shibari, or rope bondage, I sustain these have even more advantages than you could imagine.
Benefits of Shibari: It is Cost-effective
Firstly, BDSM toys can be very expensive. You can spend hundreds of dollars on leather cuffs and floggers. In contrast, in rope bondage, couples invest on a few lengths of this material for less than the price of the handcuffs. Moreover, you can apply them in an infinite variety of restraints in the body. In brief, ropes are versatile—and you can create what your imagination or the scene requires with ropes.
Show Your Demonstrable Skill
Secondly, rope Bondage takes time and patience to learn and you require basic anatomic knowledge. In shibari, the dominant demonstrates patience, appreciation for safety, skill, and confidence with the rope. Even more so, this partner depicts great responsibility, which earns him/her respect in the BDSM community. All in all, skill makes the submissive partner feel more confident.
Benefits of Shibari: Reach that Extra Satisfaction
Thirdly, there are multiple levels of satisfaction while working with ropes. To begin with, the rigger gets the opportunity to master the rope, learn how it moves, and control it. Then there is the knowledge this person previously learned—and how s/he applies control over another person. In short, the power you feel while dominating the rope and the person tied in it brings extreme satisfaction.
Decoration is Bliss
Tying a person up can make them look very sensual; it is, overall, an erotic experience. There are plenty of decorative ways to tie someone up. You can either accentuate, accessorize, and highlight assets of your partner in the sexiest ways. That is why rope bondage photographies are one of the most attractive fetiches in the world.
