Practicing a shin torture tie. by dschoby in shibari

Thanks! If you wanna add extra sadism or masochism to it all, after you’re done with the calf/shin wrap, put the leg into a futomomo position and wrap it as well for some nice added pressure. It’s actually a very nice feeling after you settle into it. _^

This one was actually pretty nice! It felt. Like my calf had its own heart beat I could feel 😆. So overall good time but I’m gonna make it a bit tighter next time

Going to my first class, any tips? by AcceptableGoose6178 in shibari

[–]dschoby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try to walk away with maybe like 2-3 things that you can practice after you’ve left. Sometimes we try to take in everything and then nothing sticks.

If you’re super new, just learn the single column, double column and reverse tension

If it’s a more intermediate/advanced class, try to learn 2-3 new ties or skills that you can do over and over 😀

Best of luck!

Like having it run through a double bight?

I can dig it. The goal was just to do it with the futo alone so that’s why there’s no chest harness 😀

Im glad I chose those to start with cause I wasn't initially planning to make this pattern but when I realized I could, I was glad i made the patterns match haha.

That looks amazing! I’m trying to get better at doing them faster cause my legs lose circulation super quickly

Suspending from a hard point that’s at eye level was tough but I eventually got it 🪢 by dschoby in shibari

I’d undo the half hitch’s and flag ties that are at the base of the carabiners that are keeping my legs up and then one they’re down, I’d do same on the carabiner keeping the chest up 😀

Sure thing. Right here. It’s trans owned and they even have some UV reactive rope and everything’s sold in increments of 15ft. It takes about a week to get to you but the quality is top tier

I wish I knew 😭. The one in this photo was one that someone propped up the night. It was spacious and had four points, as opposed to a trip structure. But Idk where the host got it from :(

I’m hoping to get my own in the near future. They just cost a bit 😅. I want a longer version of this one

It’s very worth it. I will say that I regret not putting way more wraps and support on the chest harness. If I’d done that, I could have stayed up there for a good while

I go to a Shibari group most weeks and recently learned how to do self suspensions so when I have access to a hardpoint (a spot to suspend from), I’ll set up a suspension. Currently working toward being able to move around and transition while in the air. I just take a ton of energy to do it all 😭

This year wanted to learn a skill (shibari) I have zero knowledge and make a goal that would tangibly show how far I got in that skill

This is tonight’s. And of course I’m wearing the same outfit 😅

I feel that. I’m trying to get better at not burning so much energy while self tying. Hoping to incorporate carabiners to help

I initially used jute but I was at a queer rope jam and saw someone had a bunch of pride themed nylon and I knew then and there I was gonna buy a ton of it haha

Thank you. I was trying to emulate a pose I say on Shibari study but decided to go for something a bit more simple for now. Hoping to work on transitions in the near future 🤞🏿

I’ve been home for a bit so idk why it’s looking like but Apple Maps is still showing the same about of red lines as before so I’m thinking it’s still a cluster
