Shibari performance – 90 second audition film by deGiotto

DeGiotto was invited to audition for a TV show and music video.  He and his model, Elise, filmed this short video showing them just having fun with a very brief (90 second) shibari suspension.

DeGiotto used no special harnesses or special ties.  The primary support in this suspension is a simple double wrap around Elise’s waist which then acted as a hip harness.  Notice, Elise tied the knot completing the wrap around her stomach.  This narrow wrap on Elise’s hips is very uncomfortable as the primary support in a suspension.  Although some models, like Ellise, can tolerate it for a short time, some can’t tolerate it at all.  The way he tied her hands works only in special and fun performances like this with experienced performers.  It is not appropriate for a typical shibari scene.

Lady in Red – a shibari performance film by Gestoor

This is a beautiful film by Gestoor.  It clearly shows the emotional effects a bottom experiences sharing a private shibari play session.  

Unlike many shibari performances in front of an audience, there is no audience for this session (except for us via this film).

This is a very well done film, showing two people enjoying shibari and the sub space a bottom typically experiences in a shibari suspension.  The suspension is created simply with a takate kote chest harness and single column ties for the legs.  Simple.  Beautiful.  Enjoyable.

See the entire video after the break. Continue reading

A shibari performance with MrLeto’s Hip Harness

This post includes a video of a performance showing some of the versatility of MrLeto’s Hip Harness.  This video was taken at the Morpheous Bondage Extravaganza in Orlando in 2014.

This performance shows how to attach overhead support lines to the sides of the hips.  wrists, ankles, and chest harness, with the ability to adjust the length of the support lines by the bottom’s movements.  This gives the boltom a lot of ability to move into and out of different positions.  Very cool.
