Try Shibari in Los Angeles, with Lovely Fate

What is Shibari?

Shibari is an intricate form of artistic rope bondage that originated in Japan. It's a practice that combines elements of art, emotion, and eroticism, creating a unique experience for both the person being tied (the rope bottom or 'bunny') and the person doing the tying (the rope top or 'rigger'). Shibari is not just about restraint; it's about the beauty of the patterns, the connection between the participants, and the journey they embark on together.

Why Try Shibari?

Artistic Expression: Shibari is as much an art form as it is a means of bondage. The intricate patterns and the skill involved in tying them can be deeply satisfying to create, feel, and behold.

Emotional Connection: The act of Shibari creates a unique bond between the rigger and the rope bottom. It requires trust, communication, and vulnerability, deepening the emotional connection between participants.

Exploration of Trust and Surrender: Participating in Shibari allows individuals to explore dynamics of control, trust, and surrender in a safe and consensual environment.

Mindfulness and Presence: The process can be meditative, requiring focus and presence from both parties, offering a break from the distractions of daily life.

Sensual and Erotic Exploration: For many, Shibari has a sensual or erotic component, exploring pleasure and sensations in a new and exciting way.
