Question 6

What kind of rope is used for Shibari?

Accepted Answer

We reccommend 4 to 5 pieces of 8m long x 5mm thick natural fibre rope. Jute is our preference, but you can also use hemp.

Question 7

Can Shibari be painful?

Accepted Answer

Trust and consent is the number one passage in engaging in rope play and once this is established, boundaries and communication are vital to the experience.

Shibari can be constricting and uncomfortable at times but it is not meant to be unpleasant or a method of harm. Pain can appear as an element of shibari, due to the period of time spent still, restrained and with limitations to movement.

However, with trust and consent, the feeling of tightly bound rope has a nuturing effect, much like how a mother carries a baby or like a tight cuddle. Our nervous system relaxes into a restful rhythmn and we can slip into a meditative state, which is the intention of our rope style here at Devotional Alchemy.

Question 8

Is Shibari about Sexual Pleasure?

Accepted Answer

Shibari is not all about sexual pleasure.

From an outside perspective, shibari may seem like it's solely focused on sexual pleasure and erotic play, but does not have to be the case.

Different people have varying motivations for engaging in this type of rope bondage. People may feel sensations of arousal by the body awareness that they experience during and after shibari, but not every experience needs to include sexual connotations.

Similarly, one may feel more connected to the person tying or being tied because of the level of trust the practice imbues.

Question 9

What is your drug and alchohol policy?

Accepted Answer

No tolerance for drug and alchohol use when practicing Shibari with us.

We suggest to remain sober during all Shibari practice as there is a level of risk involved. Bondage activities require all parties to be coherent, consensual, responsible, and focused.

Question 10

Do you travel locally for sessions or visit other states?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There will be an additional fee discussed to cover transportation costs.
