My name is Diana Vera.

I am a specialist in Eastern style bondage - shibari. My rope organically blends elements of femdom, foot fetish, impact play, rough body play and tantra.

First drawn to shibari 8 years ago, I have trained with top European practitioners and have been giving private sessions and organizing workshops in Prague, Czech Republic since 2016.

About shibari experience

Shibari bondage

Shibari is a unique way of meditation and a great way to achieve subspace and mindfulness. Anyone can be on the receiving end, regardless of gender, age, experience, or physical condition. I always create safe space and look for ways to help you experience your emotions through your body. The rope is just a medium that reflects the distribution of power (powerplay) between the rigger and the person being tied. I completely respect that each of us is original and has different needs.

Our session can be about ...

• pain, but also very tender and caring,

• absolute helplessness, but even a partial restriction of movement can bring interesting feelings,

• shame and humiliation, yet there's no need for you to identify as a slave.

The only thing you need if you want to get tied is a desire to give up control, with ropes giving you the perfect alibi to facilitate the surrender. The level of intensity is a matter of agreement and communication. The rope can be restrictive, playful, subtle, creative, surprising, you name it. But whatever the mood is, the experience will always be truthful.

F. A. Q.

frequently asked questions

What is the price?

The first hour with me costs 240 euros, each additional hour costs 200 euros.
For a shibari session, I recommend at least 1.5 hours, ideally 2 hours. Bondage takes time.
For a session with an emphasis on spank or dominance or for the first introduction, even 1 hour is enough.

How much of this is erotic service?

Shibari works with your body and mind so it is quite natural that it arouses erotic fantasies and sexual energy. But it is possible to tie purely for the pleasure of the physical stimuli: restraint, ropes gently stroking, cutting into your skin or hugging your entire body, feeling your own weight, breathing and moving together.

Feeling ropes on your face is usually a much more powerful experience compared to rope in the crotch. The human body has many senses, often neglected in a blind pursuit of intense sexual stimuli we often unconsciously crave and confuse with erotic desire. Simply put, orgasm is neither the goal nor part of the private session.

How should I prepare for the session?

It's a good idea to eat well a few hours before the event and get proper sleep the night before so that fatigue or a drop in blood sugar doesn’t catch up with you. It's also a good idea not to eat anything heavy just before the session. Under no circumstance should you drink any alcohol or ingest any drugs. You need to be able to trust your body and correctly read its signals. You will also experience your emotions better when you are in a good state of body and mind. A shower and small refreshments are available at the venue.

What should I wear?

To make the best of your rope experience, wear hugging, comfortable, breathable clothes, without buttons or zippers. They should allow free movement, like a workout outfit. Leggings and tank tops, boxers, bras without underwire are ideal. I'm in line with the shibari tradition, where people are partially undressed for the purpose of shame, only when they can't help it.

What about safety while tying?

Tying is not 100% risk-free and even with the best efforts on both parts, injury or other harm may occur. Nerves can get pinched, albeit rarely, usually causing temporary numbness or inability to control a part of a limb, typically fingers. I am scrupulous about safety and always use my best know-how to instruct people on how to recognise when their body is signalling danger as well as how and when to tell me. I also check with them regularly during the session. Still, unintended may happen, just like in other areas of life. If you are too worried about safety and not ready to hand over control, you should not get tied. A distinction must be made between genuine fear and the intuitive fear, that keeps us alert during a risky activity. Mutual trust is paramount. You need to trust my skills and experience, and, to the best of your ability, keep me informed of how you are feeling. I need to trust that you recognise and report anything suspicious or unusual to me.

I have (medical) limitations.Can I get tied?

In principle, yes. I believe that the rope experience can be facilitated for almost anyone. But in order for me to adapt it to your needs, it is crucial that you acquaint me in detail with your limitations and their manifestations, whether physical (injuries, illnesses, disability) or psychological (fears, trauma). Personally, I find it a pleasant challenge to tie people with limitations. Of course, extra care must be taken, and all conditions and circumstances considered. I think that for people who crave the shibari experience but don't allow themselves to have it because they believe that for one reason or another, they wouldn't make good rope models, the session can have a therapeutic effect in the sense that they experience first-hand that it is in fact possible. They may come up against their limitations or prejudices about themselves during the session, but the resulting sense of unconditional acceptance and increased self-worth is rewarding.

Will there be any marks on my body?

Ropes can leave two kinds of marks. Firstly, as they push into the skin, they leave a pattern that so many of us love (it also looks great in photos!) and are sorry to see disappear within minutes to hours. Secondly, bruise-coloured rope marks may appear in places where loaded ropes lay. These typically disappear within days. Their formation depends on the sensitivity and firmness of the skin, the amount of muscle or fat in the area. They can be prevented by using very loose ties that are not put under load. While the latter kind of rope marks forms rarely, it is impossible to promise that they will not. Neither type hurts after the session, but strained muscles or joints may. To minimise discomfort, it is important that you go through a guided stretching routine before we start tying.

Does shibari hurt?

It may, it may not. It all depends on what you perceive as pleasant and unpleasant. Some intense pain can be enjoyable, some small pain can be irritating, we all know that. So in the end, it's all about good communication before and during the session. I will explain how to differentiate the good pain from the bad when we meet in person, and tell you how to use your breath to manage pain if you want to experience it. On the other hand, pain can be completely avoided. It all depends on your preference.

Can I get spanked during the session?

Bondage is frequently seen as a means of restraint for the purpose of other practices. In my interpretation, bondage itself is the end, not the means. The pain caused by impact play is of a different nature than the pain I can give you with a rope. Simply put, you can get a few well-aimed blows but don’t expect a spanking session. The range of painful stimuli beyond impact play is wonderfully vast. That said, when I find common ground with someone in shibari, I can usually find it also in sessions involving other forms of BDSM.
