Shibari
A Japanese style of sexual bondage or BDSM practices which involve tying up the bottom (submissive) in intricate patterns, usually with several pieces of thin rope. Shibari differs from Western bondage in that, instead of just immobilizing or restraining the bottom, the bottom gains pleasure from being under pressure and strain of the ropes, squeezing the breasts or genitals. The aesthetic of the bound person’s position is also important: notorious for its use of asymmetric positions to heighten the psychological impact of bondage.
