Starter Rope Curriculum

Safety:

Before tying up your partner/sub/bottom, be sure you’ve done your research on safety and bondage. I won’t go into it too much right now but here are the basics.

Communicate with your partner and ask how their limbs are feeling. If they’re going numb then you’re cutting off circulation.

You should be able to fit a finger between the rope and the skin. If you can’t then it’s too tight.

Know how to undo your knots in case of emergencies. If you’re stuck with a knot that won’t budge, make sure you have scissors (or a knife) at hand.

When doing ties like the dragonfly sleeve, do not yank at the arms and pull them back. Be gentle and do it gradually so you don’t strain the arms or the joints.

If you’d like to see a video tutorial of how this is done, please download this file from knottyboys.com. - Thank you, diaryof-alittleswitch.

This is my first shibari tutorial so I apologize if it gets confusing at all. I drew in some arrows to help guide where the ropes should go, but if in doubt, please view the video above.

In the future, I’ll be working with bdsmgeek to create shibari tutorials. Hopefully they’ll be easier to understand.

Wrap & Sinch Bindings

This is one of our favorite ties, it is great for beginners and casual Shibari restraints. Although it is very simple you can combine it with other ties for more complex situations. The ties can be done with nearly any amount of rope but 10ft lengths often do the best to distribute tension. A tutorial can be found here. I love how these feel, they are comfortable, do not pinch and are easy to slip off if needed. They make they make the wearer so easy and cute to play with.
