In SEX AS A WEAPON the heroine, Vanessa, is the manager of an alternative club. She’s also a thief known as The Risque Robber, a woman who seduces her way into man’s home, and binds him, then robs him. The way she binds them is unique, and sets the police on the course of checking out the BDSM and Alternative scene…leading them to her club.
While in my story Vanessa is only binding wrists and arms, sometimes to a chair, Shibari is something she is familiar with and it influences even that. You see, Shibari is the art of traditional Japanese body bondage. Technically the word Shibari means “to tie” or “to bind”, but in the BDSM world, this form of bondage has become known not only for it’s effectiveness, but for it’s beauty.
Often using more than one length of rope to bind, Shibari is more than just aesthetically pleasing. The bottom, or submissive, is immobilized, and often gets pleasure just from the placement and pressure of the ropes.
