House Rules

Respect each other.
Taking pictures is permitted, but ensure that others are not included in the frame.
If something doesn't feel right, speak up. It's better to over-communicate than to say too little.

Kinbaku refers to tight binding.
Shibari, a more Western perspective, encompasses anything involving rope.
During the Edo period, rope was used for both restraint and punishment.
- Kabuki theater started to stylize torture bondage.
Criminals were tied in a manner that reflected their crime.*
The transition of bondage into a sexual art form didn't become widespread until the 1900s.

Shibari is part of RACK (Risk Aware Consensual Kink).
Always check for consent with your partner, as it can change daily.
Remember, it's always okay to stop at any time.
Keep in mind that no one knows everything.
TALK! If something feels off, speak up. When in doubt, untie!
TALK! Riggers, ask questions. Models, let your rigger know when something feels strange.

Ignoring nerve endings can lead to long-lasting or even permanent damage. Understanding this is crucial for safe tying.

Radial outside (thumb, index, and middle finger), Ulnar inside (pinky):
- If someone mentions tingling in their hands, ask which fingers they feel it in.
- If it's the thumb, index, or middle finger, check the outside ropes on the arm.
- If it's the pinky, check the inside ropes on the arm (never have knots there).
- If it's all fingers, it's probably due to blood circulation. Feel their hands; they should be colder.
- Ask them to squeeze your hand; they should always be able to do so.
Here's how to check the radial nerve and the ulnar nerve.
Legs generally have fewer issues because they have more muscle, allowing nerves to move around more easily.
Always double-check.
If in doubt, consult a doctor. They won't be surprised, so speak openly.
