The word "Shibari" is Japanese and it means "intertwining". The main definition (the sense) of this term is a complete domination of a man over a woman. Even the ability for a woman to move or to breath depends completely on a partner. The body is placed in physically unfree conditions, losing its independence, and becomes hopeless. Tied woman directly depends on desires and actions which her man prefers. This is where the symbolism of freedomless shows up, defenselessness, complete trust and obeying to a partner.
