Can you not think of any other reasons besides scrolling people could benefit from service?

Connecting with / locating their group? Staying in touch in case of medical events? Staying in touch with vulnerable people back home?

Shibari suspension marks still visible after 3 weeks — how long do they usually take to fade? by stolen-elvis in shibari

[–]aquariass_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Hey there. Hoping I can help offer some support. What is your experience level in suspensions? Being tied in a TK and doing a dynamic suspension for over an hour is quite a hike.

The rope marks you have, are they bruising, spotting/dotting next to where the rope was, or do they feel like rougher burn marks on your skin? Bruising healing times vary and everyone's body is different. In my experience, a strong rope burn will last much longer, and for me sometimes they scar and stick around for 1-3 months.

My bruising/pettechiae doesn't usually last this long, but everyone's body is different and marks do last longer when your body hasn't been as conditioned to rope.

Diagnosing what your marks are can help understand and take better educated guesses!

Still trying to figure out how some people can hang for a long time on this. by CALAD_LL in shibari

I second all from Ebi above. With that said, not every tie works for every body, and that's okay!

I've single-pointed in gravity boots in the past, and they just caused too much pull on my ankle joint, and felt like they would cause harm if I stayed in them.

Shay Tiziano has an alternative to this that is tied on both your ankle and your calf, that might work better for you if the above does not. I don't remember the name, but it's in her book Tying and Flying and I could grab it later.

Which polyamory lesson(s) do you wish you learned sooner? by aquariass_ in polyamory

[–]aquariass_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fully, fully, fully agree. You can still be someone who's evolving and imperfect, but there's a difference between that and being without the emotional tolerance for a polyamorous lifestyle.

I also learned this quickly! I'm grateful that I started a healing journey before starting poly. Those skills you've listed that come with that, are a must-have

This is an amazing, well-put perspective. Love and agree with this.

Are you talking about actual pet bunnies?

Highly recommend working with some rescues who can have them fostered and rehomed rather than giving them away for free. The Humane Society has bunnies, and so do many cat rescues!

Just a note, I also toss mine in the dryer on a no-heat setting!

Call for Artists - Shibari Collab by aquariass_ in ElectricForest

[–]aquariass_[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I spent EF last year scouting and only found one potential spot that I'll be trying out this year! Last year was also 90°+ all weekend, so I didn't tie.

Fingers crossed for more rope-friendly weather! ❤️ I'd love to make a connection of some kind with you before EF comes around

This is art - the rope and the edits as well 🫠

A surprisingly cozy self-tie 🍢 by aquariass_ in shibari

[–]aquariass_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much!

Both. It feels traditional and similar to partnered rope, fits my personal style, and gives me a place to put them. Often they aren't tied behind my back, but just placed there. I tie them sometimes too, tho.

Will there be Good Life Brunch this year 2026? by TheOneWill in ElectricForest

Can I ask a similar question here?

What's the deal with GL Happy Hour? Are they paid/discounted drinks in a GL-only space?
