History of Shibari
Shibari is the Japanese word that means “to
tie.” Originally, the rope bondage was simply a way to restrain a captive. In
the 1400’s to the 1700’s, the Samurai Code of Conduct required they
treated their captives well. The higher to status of the prisoner the more
intricate the rope were tied, so even while the knots tormented the care in
which the captives were tied showed respect.
In the late 19th century and early 20th
century, Shibari morphed into Kinbaku. Kinbaku is
the art of erotic bondage aka knots for love and sex. However, in the West we
tend to just called the practice Shibari and it’s no longer considered
part of the martial arts.
I like this analogy about bondage: A rope master in the art
of Shibari uses the ropes as paint and the person/model/sub they are tying is
the canvas the master creates something beautiful, and erotic.
Shibari to Heaven
As with many BDSM practices, Shibari increases endorphins
and hormones which can push the person into subspace or topspace.
Path to Sub space: Having someone you trust enough to
incapacitate you is a mindfuck. You’re handing over everything to another. Once
your mind accepts your trust was well-place the ropes begin to work on easing
you or cranking you up depending on your individual reaction.
The pattern of rope wraps and knots stimulate pressure
points which can be amazing (or could lead to possible nerve damage
>>> which is why I CONSTANTLY beat the drum of SAFETY 1st
& ALWAYS!)
Some people liken Shibari to Shiatsu (type of Japanese
massage) or acupuncture which helps the tied person’s energy flow. Suspension
can be added which increases the pressure put on each knot and tie which can
intensify the experience. Also adds to the feeling of helplessness. The
subspace that can be found is sublime.
Road to Top Space: Another person/sub/bottom is
entrusting their entire being to you. They are allowing you to restrict and, in
some cases, even take away their ability to move. They trust you will honor
their safeword, help them escape if need be and to provide aftercare so their
landing back to earth is soft.
With the ropes you can stimulate both pleasure and pain making
those sensation mix together feeding your Dommy inner sadist. Making a sub
crave pain can be an incredible rush of power. Not only is another dependent on
you for their pleasure or pain but for their safety. Definitely fulfills one’s
need to control.
An abusive Dom robbed Orion Gordon of his love of BDSM, destroying his confidence and leaving him unsure he’ll ever find peace through submission to another. Still, deep inside, his longing continues.
Marcus Sadir loves Hunter Dixon, yet can’t be the one thing Hunter truly desires: a sub to control. And Hunter can’t find satisfaction in the sadistic aspects of the BDSM lifestyle, while Marcus thrives on inflicting and sharing pain. When Marcus convinces Hunter they should find a third on a permanent basis, they discover Orion might be the key to bridging their differences and joining them on a deeper level.
But they must help Orion move past his trauma enough for him to enjoy new facets of BDSM and kink again. Their journey toward becoming whole—together—won’t be without challenges. Can Orion trust enough to try again?
