Before reading below, you need to understand these terms! These definitions are often used interchangeably when discussing Japanese bondage play.
Japanese bondage or Kinbaku is a recent trend in BDSM play, however it is actually centuries old.
Artists and other enthusiasts have made the practice more visible in the public eye, yet our understandings of what it is seems to differ.
If you're introduction to BDSM was through films such as 'Fifty Shades of Grey' your view on rope bondage in general is likely skewed to see it as only an erotic fetish. Some bondage critics blame such films for creating misconceptions around bondage in society, yet we can equally thank such films for allowing more public discussion around topics that were previously taboo, hence this article!
Japanese bondage is an extremely intimate affair. It's often said to be relaxing and mentally freeing for both partners involved.
"I am hyperactive with a very fast brain, but due to the intense connection and slow build up and removal of rope, shibari allows me to be mentally still."

Many people and women especially attend fetish clubs to be tied up because it looks beautiful. Involving elegant knots and positions, many love the fact that they can become a suspended piece of art.
Further, the total trust you must put in the person tying you up can be equally as gratifying. The mix of emotion, adrenaline, pain and pleasure makes for epic satisfaction.
Kinbaku techniques stimulate erogenous zones, releasing dopamine and endorphins into the brain "You can come out of a kinbaku session feeling every bit as relaxed as you do coming out of a good hot yoga practice,"
Japanese bondage compared to other forms of bondage is not something you can learn after two weeks. Many pros who have practiced Kinbaku for years are speculative about the D.I.Y mindset of society who expect fast results. This mainly speaks to those who are imagining immediately turning their partner into a suspended Mona Lisa. It's possible, it just might take some practice!

All Japanese bondage items can be used like any other bondage rope except with the potential of more beautiful and creative knots and positions possible.
