Shibari (しばり, Shibari?) is a Japanese word that literally means "to tie" or "to bind". It is used in Japan to describe the artful use of twine to tie objects or packages. Kinbaku (緊縛, Kinbaku?) is the word for "bondage" or Kinbaku-bi which means "beautiful bondage". Kinbaku (also Sokubaku) is a Japanese style of sexual bondage or BDSM which involves tying up the bottom using simple yet visually intricate patterns, usually with several pieces of thin rope usually hemp or jute (generally 6 mm or 8 mm in diameter). The word Shibari came into common use in the west at some point in the 1990s to describe the bondage art Kinbaku.
This seems really interesting to me, as seeing as my evil twin shad some new light on it..told me a bit aboot it and now I think I will want to get into it. That is one of the final goals. I'm totally new to this so start from the bottom up so to speak. Learning to do knots correctly would be nice, A start with basic knots, learn about them, how to Do and undo them.
The term BDSM describes the activities between consenting partners that contain sadistic and masochistic elements. Many behaviors such as erotic spanking, tickling and love-bites that many people think of only as "rough" sex also contain elements of sado-masochism.
May have to do more research on this subject and see what I can come up with. Will be long road to explore....could be very intresting..
