Is there a difference between rope bondage and shibari? What delineates one from the other?
Feel free to write what continent/country you're from, as I believe answers change globally =)

Certainly not an expert at all, but rope bondage to me means kinky fun at home, but shibari is more artistic and follows techniques that have been around for a long time.
I'd like to add that I love this one! The harness is such a perfect accent for her breasts.

North America here. For me its an arbitrary distinction. One might use the term Shibari to suggest a certain amount of artistic/stylistic consideration in the tie but trying to decide where or what that line is would be pointless

Anybody who truly cares about the difference probably calls themselves a "shibari practitioner in the lineage of [insert Japanese name here]" and may or may not wear fedoras from time to time, if that helps

Would you happen to be based in the US?
I feel the vibe is different here in Northern Europe ;)
