Shibari for Beginners

Welcome to the SHIBARI FOR BEGINNERS. This book will teach you everything it takes to practice the Japanese art of Shibari, often known as bondage, securely and confidently. The key point to remember here is that not all bondage is sexual in nature. While it is undoubtedly related with that as well, it is also regarded an art form in its own right and is practiced by professional artists. The fundamental distinction is in the word used to describe it. Shibari is a Japanese word that refers to the process of tying or binding. Whereas Kinbaku is linked with the more sexual side of things, the word is associated with the BDSM and sex games. Shibari is the name given to a beautiful creative presentation that, while erotic, is limited to an artist’s interpretation and not a sex act. Here is a preview of what you’ll Discover:
