Sense & Shibari: A Sociological Re-evaluation of the Knowledge of Rope Bondage

Language English

A qualitative study of practitioners' own meanings rather than a technical manual. The author uses a small, purposively selected sample and protects participants' identities, so its findings should not be presented as universal or medical evidence.
