Shibari Captivates and Controversies Emerge
Recent videos have surfaced depicting a young woman engaged in Shibari, a Japanese form of bondage, during a gathering in Luzern’s Ufschötti park. Many witnesses were taken aback by the sight, leading to a heated discussion about the place of bondage practices in public.
The Shibari Experience Explained

- Participants defend their actions as a legitimate hobby.
- Workshops are growing, focusing on sport bondage devoid of erotic elements.
Critics argue that such displays are inappropriate, particularly around children. Psychologist Felix Hof warns that children often mimic observed behaviors, highlighting the need for dialogue between parents and children to explain these encounters.
The Community Reaction
While some participants feel misunderstood and urge for communication over judgment, others express discomfort regarding public enactments of Shibari. The organizer acknowledges the reactions and intends to foster awareness in future events, possibly through educational materials.
The Divided Opinions

- Discussions about what is appropriate continue among those involved.
As Shibari practices continue to emerge in public settings, a vital conversation is underway about boundaries, consent, and appropriate contexts for such personal expressions.
