Learning The Ropes: Shibari & Bondage Tutorials

Many of our posts on shibari and rope bondage come with a implied "don't try this at home" warning—it's implied because most of you non-Boy and Girl Scouts wouldn't know how to tie a half-hitch to save your life. The highly-skilled nature of the sport means it's not always easy for beginners to get in on the tightly-wound fun, but there are places you can go to learn the tricks and tools of the bondage trade. The Chicago Rope and Mummification Club (also know by the delightful moniker CRAM) doesn't actually exist anymore, but their old website still does and it's a nice resource for rookies who want to pick up some techniques, terminology and safety tips. As we learned the hard way after our first batch of interns escaped, the only good knot is a secure knot, so you better know what you're doing before you start.
