It’s so quiet in here with only my posts, so here’s a general question to invite you to talk a little about yourself.
If you don’t feel comfortable sharing your story, maybe tell us about what about shibari fascinates you at the moment?
Found in the early days of the internet and fell down the wormhole.
Hahaha, I remember finding this as well, lovely graphic that somehow is both innocent and alluring!
probably not real, but a fine addition to my collection of weird kinds of porn.
As for me, I started a long time ago as a rope fetishist, who then got curious as to how to get more of it into the bedroom.
After a lot of knotwork I found shibari to be a lot more sensual and flowy, and thoroughly fell in love and spent inordinate amounts of time and money to learn it.
Meanwhile, I lost my rope fetish, but seem to have plenty of excuses to use ropes anyway ;)
The GF now wife really seems to like it quite a bit. I’m happy to oblige :) She got me some books for my Bday this year, but I’m still very much a beginner. She does want to do some suspensions SOMEDAY but we have a LOT of learning to do first.
Yay, good on you for wifing her!
You have a lot of fun ahead of you, take your time and enjoy the journey.
If you get impatient, may I suggest looking into weekend intensive classes? A couple of those and some practice may let you suspend safely in months (depending on your teachers and dedication to practice ofc).
Two kids sort of puts a damper on most activities. We play when we can.
That’s how life is, you do the best of it, and make sure to enjoy the journey
