Welcome to the Bound Academy community. We're here to learn, share, and celebrate Shibari as an educational and lifestyle practice. To keep our space respectful and focused, we ask everyone to follow these guidelines.

Respectful Behaviour

Treat all community members with courtesy and respect. We don't tolerate harassment, discrimination, bullying, or disruptive behaviour of any kind. Our moderators take this seriously and will remove members who violate this principle immediately and without warning.

Educational Focus

Shibari is our shared passion. Feel free to discuss technique, share knowledge, ask questions, request feedback on your work, and talk about the lifestyle and cultural aspects of rope bondage.

What we don't permit is sexual or explicit content. This includes:

• Nude photos

• Sexually explicit imagery

• Content primarily intended for sexual gratification

Photos of rope work are welcome and encouraged, but any exposed sensitive areas (you know what we mean) must be either clothed or censored by the poster using pixelation, blurring, or similar methods.

Ask yourself before posting a photo: Is this showcasing the rope work, or the body?

Zero Tolerance

Members who post prohibited content or behave disruptively will be removed from the community immediately at our discretion. There are no warnings or second chances. We do this to protect the integrity of our space for everyone.

Privacy and Consent

Don't share photos or information about others without their explicit permission. Respect people's privacy in this community at all times.

Questions?

Not sure whether something is appropriate to post? Reach out to our moderation team before posting. We'd rather help you share something the right way than have to remove it.

Thanks for helping us build a positive, respectful community around the art of Shibari.
