Fat people deserve good rope.
Fat bodies are everywhere, but in rope spaces we’re often treated like an exception. We’re rarely in the photos, rarely teaching, and often made to feel like our bodies are a technical problem instead of bodies worth tying.
A Guide to Tying Fat Bodies looks at the practical side of shibari with fat partners. It breaks down how geometry, placement, tension, and texture change when tying bodies that are soft, heavy, and full of curves. The guide offers concrete tools for adapting ties, building stable harnesses, and thinking differently about suspension.
Fat bodies aren’t harder to tie, they’re just different landscapes. More curves, more valleys, more anchors.
Learning to tie fat people is an act of inclusion.
