Shibari teaching and BDSM mentoring
Allan has studied Shibari since 2014 and taught in Peer Rope Copenhagen since 2019, but has been into “tying games” all of his life.
I really like the special sexual expression that can be achieved through bondage of any sort and I enjoy talking about Shibari and Kinbaku which is why I teach free groups both in Peer Rope Copenhagen in Vanløse and once in a while at Swingergården in Slagelse.
In addition, my partner and I can now be booked for private tuition by other riggers / couples / groups, so you can get individual tutoring/teaching at your exact level, from beginner to experienced.
Price examples:
1 night's teaching (ca 3 hours) for a couple, private in Ringsted/Denmark: 600 DKK incl. VAT (approx 80 EUR)
1 day of teaching (ca 7 hours, not counting breaks and no catering) for one couple, private in Ringsted/Denmark: 1200 DKK incl. VAT (approx 160 EUR)
There will be a transportation fee if the teaching is to take place elsewhere. We got a friend in Texas/USA, so we are looking forward to that adventure of teaching abroad!
Teaching could possibly also be done in an online class (Zoom meeting) for similar prices, provided we can get good enough connection and picture quality (hard to teach if I cannot see the knots in your ropes and verify safety).
Possibility for discount for more than one couple at the same time, provided they’re at the same level.
For going from a complete newbie to some basic confidence would take about 4 days of teaching plus own practice in between. But an individual program would be made depending on what you come with of skills and what your goals are.
In 2022 we got several happy couples started on Shibari and had a whole bachelorette party having fun with rope games. 2023 started with teaching the basics of suspension to a couple wanting to take their next step with bondage.
My partner, submissive and bunny for teaching is Nana.

BDSM mentoring
As an experiment I'm also offering BDSM mentoring - something which I myself was looking for in vain when I began.
Though, only for doms, as I am monogamous with my submissive.(Questions from subs we can however answer together, so feel free to write to us.)
Exactly what kind of mentoring is up to you, as everyone is different. I myself do not fit into the “shape” of a “Typical Dominant”, so why should you? The goal is to find your personal way to express yourself and help you to bring it forth. I can give ideas and suggestions but in the end it’s up to you and your partner.
My own road was long and at times surprising - for ex. it was only recently I got turned on by spanking. It required the totally right submissive before it caught me.
What’s Shibari to me?
The word "Shibari" means "to tie", so it is a fancy word for tying one's partner, just like the English word "bondage".
But the Japanese added more unique angle to it. One can consider it as an erotic art form. A non-sexual way to have an incredibly intimate experience. Or seen from the stressful life of a Japanese: It is an unheard of luxury to be able to take an entire evening and just relax and enjoy. A kind of erotic tea ceremony, with rope and present.
I have experienced that many Tantra people are attracted to Shibari in this gentle style. Hours of foreplay, and filled with energy, without coming physically, is typically what Tantra people try to achieve.
At the other end of the spectrum of what is possible, Shibari is a form of Bondage and is part of the BDSM community, where those letters stand for: Bondage Dominance Submission/Sadism Masochism. That is, between partners it can involve sex, as well as pain and much more that the partners may have as turn on to receive and give.
But even though Shibari can end up with a whole lot of other good things, the focus on the road in its own right is constantly maintained. - each rope is added with emotion. Like a dance where one party leads the other. Dance is its own goal and its own enjoyment.
Shibari is to show love with rope and dominance.
Shibari is caring.
But it can also be painful and torturous.
The focus depends on the person I tie or teach, but I hope love is always expressed through my style.
Shibari shows/demonstrations
We have done a few shows and both me and my partner love being on stage, so it is possible to hire us to do a show!
The focus so far has been to show the connection between us, the love that can be expressed through Shibari/BDSM, as we did at the open house in SMil Copenhagen (SMil is an association for SadoMasochists and it’s where Peer Rope Copenhagen is housed).
