Online Erotic Shibari Course

Module 1 - Introduction to Sekibaku

初心第一課　修學の基礎 - First lesson for beginners: the foundations of study

The first module of the course and a first contact with erotic shibari, sekibaku (責縛). It brings together the concepts from which its study is approached: erotic experience, the body’s response to restriction, the sociocultural context in which shibari emerged, and the technical function of rope. We approach it with a beginner’s mind, shoshin (初心): even if you have years of practice, here you start from scratch in this style.

Estimated reading time: 126 minutes.

1.1 Eroticism and desire

Estimated reading time: 43 minutes.

The first lesson of the course. Understanding the way each person lives and expresses their sexuality, how it works, and how it is cultivated allows us to adapt shibari to each particular interaction.

Access

1.2 Anatomy and biomechanics applied to shibari

1.2 Applied anatomy

Estimated reading time: 39 minutes.

In sekibaku, restriction does not come from the rope but from the body. In this lesson, we introduce the study of applied anatomy and biomechanics, to prevent the risks inherent in shibari through an understanding of how the body works.

Access

1.3 The sociocultural context in which shibari emerged

1.3 Sociocultural context

Estimated reading time: 24 minutes.

Shibari cannot be understood without knowing the culture that gave birth to it. Studying its sociocultural context allows us to understand the origin of its techniques and aesthetics without myths or whitewashing, and to draw a clear line between that past and a consensual practice between adults.

1.4 Rope in shibari

Estimated reading time: 21 minutes.

Rope is the most visible element of shibari, but not its center: it is a tool in the service of anatomy and erotic interaction. Knowing its function, the material, and the first safety rules allows us to choose it and handle it with sound judgment, without confusing shibari with tying knots.

Access

Everything that happens during a shibari session has a measurable cause and a technical explanation and can, therefore, and must, be managed. That is why the course begins with what allows us to understand what happens when a restriction is applied, why it produces its effect, and what the experience depends on.

We study shibari as a technique, jutsu (術): a set of proven procedures. Its physical effect is predictable, but the experience depends on each person, the moment, and the relationship between those taking part.

All of this is studied through the school’s three areas: session management, body technique, and rope technique, which the following modules develop in depth.
