Safe Bondage

Intermediate

Bondage is one of the most popular BDSM practices — and one of the most technically demanding. Safety always comes first. **Ground rules** - Always keep safety scissors within reach. - Check circulation every 10–15 minutes: tingling, numbness, or bluish color are warning signs. - Never bind directly at the neck or joints (nerve damage risk). - Stay sober — alcohol and drugs massively increase injury risks. **Materials** For beginners, soft cotton rope (6–8mm) is recommended. Hemp and jute are more beautiful but rougher and less forgiving of mistakes. **Learning paths** Attend a Shibari workshop or learn from experienced riggers in the community. Books and videos do not replace hands-on instruction.
