Rope/Shibari — Safely Bound

WHAT ARE THE PHYSICAL RISKS IN ROPE BONDAGE?

Whether you’re simply tying your partner’s wrists or adorning them with a full-body harness, rope bondage takes time, which can build up excitement, sensuality, and tension. However, it’s also easy to slip into using excessive pressure, resulting in discomfort, numbness and possible impairment of the person’s circulation and nerves.
