Who is this bondage manual for?

How to use the Boxis: Shibari Tutorial Manual?

Start by skimming the fundamentals, including safety guidelines, rope care, and anatomy dos and don’ts.
Choose a comfortable practice space like a firm bed or soft yoga mat to ensure safety during tying experiments.
Gather materials: use natural fiber ropes (like jute or hemp) around 6–8 meters long for most ties recommended in the book.
Try a basic tie first to learn control and tension practice. Most jumps into decorative ties like Karada (rope corset) require back-to-front threading, so a mirror helps.
Progress to suspension ties only after mastering ground techniques and safety checks—always having backup support nearby if attempting suspension practices.

Great positions to try:

Seated cross-legged on the floor: Ideal for beginner ties, like harnesses or chest wraps.
Standing with back to a wall: Helps stabilize the body for vertical ties like the Karada.
On all fours or kneeling: Great for creative ground bondage while maintaining comfort and control.

How to clean and care for the Boxis: Shibari Tutorial Manual?

Cleaning: Keep hands clean when using the manual to avoid transferring oils or lotions to the pages. Spot-clean gently with a dry cloth if needed.
Environment: Store in a cool, dry place to preserve page quality—paper can warp or curl in humid locations.
Safe pairing: Use only properly whipped and conditioned rope when replicating ties to avoid fraying or unraveling damage.
Storage: Keep it flat between play sessions—ideal to tuck in a nightstand drawer, toy trunk, or rope bag.

Bondage manual practical use info:

Versatility: Offers over 20 different techniques suited for multiple body types and skill levels.
Learning pace: Self-guided instruction lets you take your time, revisit chapters, and build confidence tier by tier.
Accessibility: Designed with clear visual cues and written descriptions—great for visual learners.
Solo-friendly: Even without a partner, you can explore rope handling, knot practice, and self-tie positioning.

Additional information:

Emotional intimacy: Rope play fosters deep trust and connection—use the manual to build safe experiences with clear communication.
Body positivity: Ties shown are customizable to various effeminate and masculine forms—there's no one-size-fits-all wrap here.
Sensory exploration: Experimenting with rope offers tactile and pressure-based pleasure paths outside of traditional touch.

Special considerations when using Boxis: Shibari Tutorial Manual:

Physical setup: Ensure a safe space to tie—no sharp corners, clutter, or hard surfaces where someone could fall.
Rope health: Keep ropes clean and dry. Wash rope separately if dyed to prevent color bleed—you want your ties hot, not your cleanup.
Nerve safety: Avoid tying tightly over joints or nerve zones (back of knees, wrists) to prevent tingling or numbness.
Supervision during suspension: Beginners should not attempt advanced positions, especially suspension, without expert guidance.
