Shibari Suspensions is a comprehensive instructional guide to Japanese-style rope suspension techniques, written for both the person tying and the person being tied. Unlike generic bondage manuals, this book emphasizes anatomical awareness and partner communication, helping you understand how rope interacts with the body's pressure points, circulation, and range of motion during suspension.
The guide breaks down complex suspension ties into manageable progressions, with each technique explained from the rigger's perspective (how to build the tie safely and efficiently) and the model's perspective (how to position your body, when to speak up about discomfort, what sensations are normal). This dual approach builds trust and competency for both partners, making suspension work safer and more intimate than trial-and-error learning from videos alone.
What makes this book stand out is its emphasis on adaptability — it teaches you principles, not just patterns. You'll learn to assess your partner's body and modify ties accordingly, rather than forcing everyone into the same rigid shapes. The result is suspension work that feels collaborative and attuned, not prescriptive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Shibari Suspensions suitable for beginners? This book assumes you already know basic floor ties and single-column knots — it's designed for practitioners ready to progress into suspension work, not absolute beginners.
Does the guide include safety information for suspension bondage? Yes — it covers anatomical pressure points, nerve pathways, circulation monitoring, and communication protocols specific to suspension ties.
Is the book written for the person tying or the person being tied? Both — every technique is explained from the rigger's perspective (how to build the tie) and the model's perspective (how to position and communicate), making it useful for both partners.
What makes this suspension guide different from online tutorials? It teaches adaptable principles rather than rigid patterns, with emphasis on anatomical safety and body-type modifications that video tutorials often skip.
Does Shibari Suspensions ship discreetly to Canada? Yes — every order ships in plain, unmarked packaging with confidential billing.
