Bondage – A Practical Manual for Beginners (EN)

My manual will guide you through the discovery and learning of Bondage and Shibari, allowing you to experience — and let others experience — new sensations on the skin and to live new emotions. By reading it, you’ll discover the history of this fascinating art, learn how to ensure maximum safety for the person you tie, and master all the main knots and ties, explained step by step both in words and through detailed illustrations of each movement. At the end of the book, you’ll also find a series of texts on the ethics and the different styles of Shibari.

It is a comprehensive manual that explores this discipline in an open and uninhibited way, addressing every aspect of it — artistic, sexual, and as a tool for connection within a couple’s relationship.

I wrote this manual in 2015, after a period of study in Japan under the guidance of Master Yukimura Haruki, pouring into its pages not only my 25 years of personal experience at the time, but also the insights and inspiration of those who have studied it where it was born.
