Maybe I just cant stand the thought of some gaijin talking about "real" slobari and how "purists" do it. I can imagine. It often comes accross like it's supposed to be better than western bondage. However, that's not the point (and it's not true either). It's a system like any other system of bondage, and I study it. And much like I would like to learn to speak English grammatically correct and without my Dutch accent, not because English is a better language, but because I like English and wouldn't like to speak English with Dutch words in between, I like to learn shibari the way it's done in Japan (which doesn't mean I never adapt anything in play AFTER having studied it, if that suits my partners needs). I am not much of a purist myself in play, but when I do a shibari SHOW, I sometimes opt to do that as pure as I can (and sometimes I don't, depending on the venue, the audience and my mood), to show the audience what shibari can be like. quote:
I sail, my ropes keep me alive, my boat from foundering. I think its the whole service aspect of it, spending hours at best service topping just isn't my bag. Trying to do it whilr scoffing other white men aren't japanese enough is just to.much for me to stomach. I don't quite see the service topping point. I use shibari mainly to hurt and humiliate, and being more a sadist than a dominant that suits my needs well. And I wasn't scoffing anyone for being not Japanese enough, I was scoffing someone who obviously hasn't got a clue about shibari for using a Japanese honorific for himself. It's hard to find an English equivalent, but it's something like calling yourself sensei. It's not something you call yourself, not even if you indeed are one, it's something others grant you out of respect for your knowledge and achievements.
