Double bamboo...double pleasure
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?
Community Agreements:1. Celebrate and embrace the diversity of thought, practice, and opinion. There are many ways to do and practice rope. The Community Discord is a way for us all to engage and interact across differences. While rope connects us all, we are still unique individually.2. Navigate disagreement through discourse. Treat others with respect, even if you disagree. Discord is primarily a text interaction platform, please be mindful that miscommunications can happen.3. Respect each community members’ identities and honor their boundaries/requests about how they wish to be treated. Treat others how they wish to be treated - this includes using their correct pronouns, name, and any other identifying factors that feel important to them. If you make a mistake, take accountability for your actions and try to repair any harm caused. 4. Help create safer spaces for learning and growth through mutual accountability and co-created community accountability. Accountability is mutually co-created. This space is meant to build community and hold each other in that process - sometimes that means making mistakes. Our commitment to accountability begins with a willingness to own and accept that we are all capable of causing harm. Let’s intentionally build a space where making mistakes and making things right is a part of how we operate.5. Bring a growth mindset and be mindful of your learning zones. Check-in with yourself and where your learning zones are. Be mindful when you are in the panic zone and ask for help if you need it. 6. Actively receive in conversation before responding. Receive information down to the last word before taking the time to communicate your thoughts. 7. Make space, take space. Reflect on when you’re able to take up more space in the discord/threads/conversations and reflect on if you need to be creating more space for others. Reflect on if you aren’t participating as much or taking up space, why that might be. Try to find the courage to share your thoughts and take up space, you belong here! 8. Be mindful of the impact of your actions, not just the intentions behind them. Just because we didn’t intend to hurt or harm someone doesn’t change that they are hurt/harmed. 9. NSFW Content. We unfortunately cannot have explicit NSFW content on the community at this time. As an education platform in Shibari we do recognise some content is concerning the practice of shibari but we cannot host explicit material. We do not want to moderate heavily in this space so please be mindful when sharing photographs. 10. This is all challenge by choice. It’s a choice of action to be here and to be participating in this space. Please participate at whatever capacity feels accessible and most authentic for you

Challenge
February 03 — 28, 2026
Learn all of the suggested techniques in our Shibari for Sex article and test them out this Valentine’s Day (and beyond). This challenge isn’t just a collection of tie-along videos and complicated patterns, but is rather a set of simple building blocks that can be mixed and matched to create all sorts of exciting bedroom bondage moments.

I just sent out the email with the video prize to anyone who earned a one week badge or more this last month. Congrats to everyone who participated in the Rope Resolutions challenge! I really hope you enjoy the video! And I hope you take all of the momentum you harnessed this last month into the rest of the year with you. <3

It's the month of love, so naturally our newest blog post is all about cultivating intimacy in ropes. However, this one is not just for the lovers out there – if you're looking at the shelves full of Valentine's hearts and feeling at a loose end, we'd like to suggest that maybe there's some beautiful non-traditional "romance" to be nurtured in your ropey relationships too.

Rope Journal - Week 5
February's Theme - Cultivating Connections
"How do you build trust before tying or being tied?"
A new month and a new theme for our Rope Journal prompts - This month we delve into Romance Trust and Play (and what better time to do it with Valentines just around the corner)
Each of this months prompts will hopefully engage you to think about how we think about trust in rope, and how this reflects upon our play.

I would like to share with you one of my first performances with my partner. It is an art exhibition that has a bit of self-suspension.

And this is one of my shibari art; I am still learning.
