It is pride time
As our Drills and Skills month comes to an end we have a great new theme. in June we explore predicaments, that exciting dynamic of choice within a tie. My personal favourite predicament element has always been a hair/mouth rope tied to an ankle... its simple, its elegant but also delightfully spicy and can literally be added to any tie to create that aspect of tension and choice.... We have a great predicament challenge coming soon but in the meantime feel free to share a photo of your favourite predicaments and what you love about it, or if its something you've designed yourself an explanation of how it works.
Getting to Know You: Top, Bottom, Switch or Self-Tie? How do you identify in rope, are you predominantly a top, a bottom or do you happily switch. Or are you one of those amazingly talent people who does all at once by self tying?

Quick, dirty, and anything but simple. Using only a basic chest harness and a double column tie, it’s no surprise that The Raven tie requires some real bottoming skills…and an affinity for a specific flavor of suffering. If you haven’t done much bottoming to rope that smacks you in the face with difficulty and eases off as quickly as it came on, this could be a fun exploration. For the riggers out there, the minimalism of this tie doesn’t let you off the hook. Make sure your double-column tie is on its best behavior! If you’ve never played with a pulley before, this is a fun place to start.
You can swap in any arms free chest harness you like, though be mindful that the verticality of the final position will load the lower wraps, so pay attention to how waist ropes/lower wraps that sit near the sternum affect your experience in the tie. Give it a try, post a pic, and let us know in Community how you liked it!

I think we're on a great run of really insightful blog posts and the latest comes courtesy of one of our very own instructors and self-described (s)Witch, Shakti Bliss. Whether you're a bottom interested in tying, a rigger interested in being tied, or a practiced switch yourself, this piece is for you, delving into what moving between roles in rope can teach you and how switching can expand the way you tie, the way you bottom, and the way you connect. 💭

When life gives you crutches,
build a predicament? 👉👈
Recovering from a muscle strain injury, but in a very playful mood.
Given I don't yet have the smaller sized bamboos, I could never lab the predicaments, here on Shibari Study.
But when I saw those crutches lying on the floor, my curiosity took over 🙃
