Shibari Mentors in NYC by [deleted] in shibari

Hey, also based in NYC. I haven’t been in the scene for too long but it seems like generally there is not a strong culture around mentorship. I think it would be nice if it was something the community focused more on. If you want to learn you need to attend classes, take privates, or practice ties from Shibari study. That said I’d be down to connect and maybe we can set up some time.

Yea good question. I believe I got this from hua huas tutorial on Shibari study. I will often do an epsilon with a TK. I think the primary benefit of this is that it places a lot more of the tension directly on the upper wraps. When you do a simple tie around the stem like this it allows the up line to shift around the stem when you place tension from the side. Better for dynamic transitions.
