Decorative Rope Bondage
So I went looking for shibari clips on Youtube, and found some real gems.
Ballet Asanawa - Shibari/Japanese rope bondage by Esinem
The costuming is a little overdone, and I've never been fond of obvious makeup in any situation, but it makes sense soon enough. It's not about teh hotness, so much. It's just beautiful, in toe shoes, and to my uneducated eyes, very French. It's tasteful, and all the bits are covered, but I'd say it's NWS because of the subject matter. Probably a given, I suppose, but some of the following feature only rope, and could just as well be tutorials for Boy Scout knotwork. I find them fascinating, and will probably be incorporating the one of the pendants into my jewelry-making. Very celtic.
Rhetorical question: Why are all the models female? I want some MEN in bondage.
A series of tutorials by Two Knotty Boys: very clear, nice lighting, and slow enough to follow: Youtube appears to display favorites in the order added, so here's the ones I liked best, and many of the others are archived on these two channels. For more, look for "TBK" or "2KB" in the Related Videos panel, or download as wmv files from their website. Their galleries are a sight to see also. It's all-female, but oh-so-exquisite.
I have a serious phobia about facial hair, which can be a problem anytime I get into anything visual with real people as opposed to fictional ones in BDSM. It's a major squick - something in me just reels back and sqeaks "Eww!" Even tiny goatees set it off, although not as badly as full beards. Bad personal history there.
