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.Ā 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

Does anyone knows the name of this rigger? I found some videos of his performances online and would like to know who he is.

I've been so, so excited to share this article and now the time has finally come... It's our final blog post for the year, so of course it's an extra spicy one – a super hot, ropes-out-and-hands-on guide to shibari for sex by the esteemed Ena Dahl (who, when she's not writing for us, presented some of this year's steamiest live classes together with her partner Roxu). Hope you all love this piece as much as I do!

Wondering if there is a standardized form for shorthand/taking notes on drawings for Kinabaku?

I’m using arrows for rope direction and just putting the notes in each step. I’m betting there are a lot of places to be more efficient and cleaner for notes. Symbols for frictions or common knots/hitches.

I’d appreciate any thoughts the community has to share.

Happy to have stumbled upon this community.

I'm Vagevuur, an Antwerp based rope switch who started bottoming and self-tying in 2021 and slowly but surely got into the habit of inviting others in my ropes. My Shibari Study membership just got renewed for the 4th time, so this platform has been a very import source of knowledge and inspiration.

Travelling for work = a good moment to revisit some basic frictions ;-)
