Shibari, also known as Kinbaku, is a traditional Japanese art form of rope bondage that has evolved over centuries. While it is now found in pop-culture art and erotica, its history is intertwined with various cultural and artistic influences, making it a rich and complex practice.

Ancient Origins

Shibari traces back to ancient Japan, where its versatility made it popular for various purposes, including restraining prisoners and torture. It gradually evolved into a more artistic and erotic practice over time.

Samurai and Hojo-jutsu

In feudal Japan, Samurai warriors employed rope techniques as a part of their martial training, known as “Hojo-jutsu.” This involved restraining captives using intricate rope patterns. But plenty of elements of Hojo-jutsu remain prominent in modern Shibari.

Eros and the Artistic Influence

The transformation of Shibari from a utilitarian practice to an art form and a means of erotic expression is believed to have occurred during the Edo period (17th to 19th centuries). During this time, Japanese woodblock prints and literature began to depict erotic scenes featuring intricate rope bondage.

Post-War Influence

After World War II, photography and magazines were able to introduce Shibari to a broader audience. Some artists and photographers, like Nobuyoshi Araki and Itoh Seiu, played significant roles in popularizing Shibari as an art form.

Modern Shibari

In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Shibari has gained international recognition as an art form and a practice within the BDSM community. Across the globe, people appreciate Shibari for its aesthetics, emphasis on trust, and the meditative qualities it can offer both the rigger (the one tying) and the model.

Safety and Education

As BDSM and its related sub-cultures have gained popularity worldwide, there has been a strong emphasis on safety and education. Workshops, classes, and online resources are available for those interested in learning the art of Shibari.

Today, Shibari encompasses a wide range of styles and techniques, from traditional Japanese patterns to more modern and creative approaches. It continues to be a form of artistic and erotic expression, emphasizing consent, trust, and communication between those involved in the practice. Whether you are well-versed in the history of Shibari, or just turned on at the thought of rope restraints, we welcome you to check out our roster to introduce you to the world of restraints and bondage.

Workout Boost

Sex can be a great chance to get your blood flowing! You get your heart pumping, muscles flexing, and even burn some calories.

Stress Buster

Feeling stressed? Consider getting busy in the bedroom as well as at work. Sex releases endorphins leading to reduced stress and improved mood.

Sleep Aid

Pain Relief

Those endorphins we mentioned also act as painkillers, providing temporary relief from all kinds of aches and pains. Time for some ‘self-medication?’

Heart Health

Pros:

Exploration and Variety

A threesome can offer an opportunity to explore new sexual experiences and introduce variety into a relationship. While some people are satisfied with routine, we really appreciate the desire to spice things up by adding a third.

Enhanced Intimacy and Connection

For some couples, a threesome can lead to increased intimacy and strengthen the emotional bond between partners. This may come as a consequence of heightened arousal, new types of pleasure or the emotional satisfaction of mutual enjoyment of someone else. 

Fantasy Fulfillment

For some people, threesomes are a spontaneous decision, for others they are legendary, elusive fantasies. Partaking in a threesome can literally make dreams come true!

Improved Communication

Engaging in open and honest discussions about desires, boundaries, and consent is crucial before having a threesome. This can lead to better communication skills in the relationship, not just in the bedroom, but in a number of settings. 

Boosted Self-Confidence

For some participants, the experience can help boost self-confidence and self-esteem. Whether it is seeing how lucky you are for having a partner capable of pleasing two people at once, or being the center of attention!

Cons:

Jealousy and Insecurity

On the flip side, threesomes can sometimes lead to jealousy or feelings of insecurity, especially if there are unresolved issues in the relationship.

Complicated Emotions

Threesomes can evoke complex emotions that individuals may not anticipate, making it essential to address these feelings afterward. Make sure you set aside some time afterwards to talk through any thoughts or feelings that arise.

Health and Safety Concerns

Threesomes, especially with new partners, may increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections if proper precautions, such as condom use and regular testing, are not taken. It is crucial to take all appropriate precautions to ensure that everyone is as safe as possible!

Boundary Violations

Without clear communication and consent, boundaries may be crossed, leading to discomfort and potential harm.

Social Stigma

Some individuals and communities may still stigmatize or judge those who engage in threesomes or other non-traditional sexual activities. Don’t let this deter you! There are countless people that support, enjoy and thrive in group sex activities! Plus, it can be your naughty little secret if you don’t want anyone else to know.

Experimentation with the same sex can bring various positive aspects to one’s life. Here are some potential pros:

Self-Discovery

Exploring same-sex attraction can lead to a deeper understanding of one’s own identity.

Open-Mindedness

Engaging in same-sex experimentation can foster open-mindedness and acceptance of diverse sexual orientations.

Enhanced Empathy

Walking in someone else’s shoes can increase empathy and compassion towards individuals with different experiences.

Breaking Free from Stereotypes

Challenging social norms and stereotypes can lead to personal growth and empowerment.

Expanded Social Circle

By meeting people who share similar experiences, you can expand your social circle and create positive relationships. This offers a network of support for yourself and others.

Improved Communication

Engaging in open conversations about desires and limits can lead to better communication skills in relationships. This can help you navigate conversations about sexuality with those around you.

Increased Sexual Confidence

Understanding and embracing one’s own desires can boost sexual confidence and self-esteem.

Authenticity

Embracing same-sex experimentation can lead to living a more authentic life. Accepting your attraction means getting to know yourself better.

Supportive Community

Becoming a part of the LGBTQ+ community can provide a sense of belonging and support. This is through shared experiences and mutual respect.

Mind-Opening Experience

Experimenting with the same sex can open your mind to new perspectives and experiences that you might not have considered before.

It’s important to approach any form of experimentation, including exploring same-sex attractions, with an open heart and a commitment to understanding your feelings and desires. Remember to prioritize communication, consent, and personal comfort throughout the process. Self-awareness and self-acceptance are key factors in making the experience a positive and fulfilling one.

So, you have decided to find some company for the evening and now you are faced with deciding upon who the lucky companion will be. With such a huge selection available, there are a few tips & tricks to help narrow it down.

Profiles and Ads

To avoid the heartache (and possible cash lost) of a catfish, check that the profile is authentic. Plenty of platforms have a verification system that marks profiles as ‘verified’ once they have completed certain identification measures. If you book a private lady, be prepared to provide deposits or ID. It’s a security measure for them but can be risky for you. Booking through verified agencies/brothels is the easiest way to maintain your privacy and meet the lady you saw online.

Looks

Beauty is more than meets the eye, but there’s no shame in admitting if you have a ‘type.’ Whether it’s blonde, brunette, BBW or busty, you can definitely find someone who catches your eye! Don’t be afraid to mix it up though, it’s always fun to try new things.

Extras

What you have planned is also an important factor when choosing a companion. Standard service at Harlots includes erotic massage, handjob, protected blowjob and protected sex. Anything else is an “extra” and not all ladies offer all extras! When booking, be sure to confirm that the lady you like offers the extras you want. We can often help direct you to ladies who offer what you have in mind. 

When and Where

Location and timing are next on the list; check out their availability/shift times and make sure you are asking for a booking within those times. While by-appointment bookings can be made under certain circumstances (like for regular clients, multi-hour bookings and/or by paying a non-refundable deposit), it’s best to stick within the listed hours when planning a booking. Keep in mind that the laws of your state or territory may impact whether or not outcalls are available and the legality of booking a lady privately.

Personality

One of the biggest attractions of meeting in an establishment is the chance to chat with multiple ladies before deciding on who you would like to spend some time with. This means you can get a feel for their personality before committing to paying anything. There is also the added bonus of the possibility of booking two ladies at once!

Regardless of who you end up spending time with, Harlots promises quality companionship and a wide selection of ladies to choose from. There’s never been a better time to come and see for yourself.

Brothels, strip clubs, gentleman’s bars and bordellos can be found practically everywhere. However, there is a tendency for adult establishments to cluster together and form what is known as a ‘Red Light District,’ though nowadays actual red lights are far less common. Take a wander through the historic and current Red Light Districts of Australia…

Sydney: Kings Cross

Kings Cross, located in the heart of Sydney, is among Australia’s most well-known Red Light Districts. In the past, it was infamous for rowdy nightlife & adult entertainment. Recently, the district has undergone significant gentrification and regulation changes, reducing its prominence as a Red Light District.

Melbourne: St. Kilda

St. Kilda, a beachside suburb of Melbourne, has a long history of being associated with the sex industry. While regulations are in place limiting the presence of street-based sex work, St. Kilda is still home to adult venues. The district also shows off a vibrant music and arts scene, making it a unique blend of cultures and lifestyles.

Brisbane: Fortitude Valley

Fortitude Valley, or “The Valley” for short, is Brisbane’s answer to Red Light Districts. It has a colourful history of nightlife and adult entertainment venues, making it a popular destination for partygoers and tourists alike. However, like Kings Cross in Sydney, The Valley has also seen efforts to clean up its image, leading to changes in the types of establishments present in the area. If you are further north in the Sunshine State, consider stopping by Harlots Mackay!

Perth: Northbridge

Northbridge, located in the heart of Perth, boasts a bustling nightlife and numerous entertainment options, including various adult-oriented establishments. Just across the bridge in Burswood is Langtrees Perth; a long-standing, highly regarded gentleman’s club. Northbridge has a vibrant atmosphere, with bars, nightclubs, and strip clubs attracting both locals and tourists.

Adelaide: Hindley Street

Hindley Street in Adelaide has been historically associated with adult entertainment venues, such as strip clubs and brothels. While there have been efforts to rejuvenate this area and reduce its association with the sex industry, it remains a notable location for those seeking adult entertainment options in South Australia.

Darwin: Mitchell Street

Darwin’s Mitchell Street, in the city’s central business district, has a reputation for its nightlife and adult entertainment offerings. This area caters to a mix of locals and visitors, offering various bars, nightclubs, and other adult-oriented venues. It’s worth noting that the dynamics of the sex industry in the Northern Territory differ from other states in Australia.

Canberra: Fyshwick

Fyshwick, located in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), has several adult entertainment businesses, including brothels and adult shops, mixed among industrial businesses as well. The ACT has unique laws regulating the sex industry, and Fyshwick has been a focal point for these activities in the region. Of course, it is the home of Harlots Canberra, so do come say hello!

Unlike many countries where sex work is illegal or heavily restricted, Australia has a complex legal landscape that varies from state to state and territory to territory. These laws can make booking some company seem daunted, rest assured that Harlots is fully licenced!

New South Wales: Decriminalisation

New South Wales (NSW) was the first Australian state to decriminalise sex work in 1995. Under the NSW framework, sex work is treated as a legitimate occupation. Sex workers have the right to work independently or in licensed brothels, ensuring their safety and protection. This approach has been praised for reducing the risks associated with sex work and promoting the rights of sex workers.

Victoria: Licensing and Regulation

Victoria, another progressive state, adopted a licensing and regulation model in 1994. Sex work is legal when conducted in licensed brothels or as part of an individual’s sole trader business. This model aims to strike a balance between protecting sex workers’ rights and maintaining public health and safety standards. Licensed brothels in Victoria are subject to strict regulations and regular inspections.

Queensland: Licensing with Restrictions

Queensland has legalised sex work but with specific restrictions. Brothels are licensed and regulated, but street-based sex work is illegal. This approach seeks to manage the sex industry while minimising its visibility in public spaces. Queensland also has a unique “legalisation” model, distinct from NSW’s decriminalisation and Victoria’s licensing.

South Australia: Licensing and Criminalisation

South Australia operates under a licensing and criminalisation model. Brothels are regulated, and sex work is generally considered legal when conducted in licensed establishments. However, street-based sex work remains illegal in some areas. South Australia’s approach reflects a mix of legalised and criminalised elements.

Western Australia: Partial Criminalisation

In Western Australia, sex work remains partially criminalised. Street-based sex work is illegal, but private sex work and working in licensed brothels are legal and regulated. Western Australia’s laws take a conservative stance in comparison to other states.

Tasmania: Criminalisation

Tasmania has some of the most restrictive sex work laws in Australia. All forms of sex work are illegal except for sole operators who can work alone. Brothels are illegal, and the state has not adopted a regulated approach like Victoria or New South Wales.

The Australian Capital Territory (ACT): Legalisation and Regulation

The ACT adopted a legalisation and regulation model in 1992. Sex work is legal, and licensed brothels operate under strict regulations. This approach emphasises health and safety standards and recognises sex work as a legitimate profession.

While Australia hasn’t settled on a single approach to sex work, the variation in laws from state to state and territory to territory demonstrates the complex nature of the issue. While some states have embraced decriminalization or legalization, others maintain more conservative stances. The ongoing debate surrounding sex work laws in Australia underscores the importance of continued dialogue and thoughtful policymaking. It’s crucial to consider the experiences and perspectives of sex workers when writing laws on sex work; regulated legalisation is often deemed by those in the industry as the best way to keep sex workers safe and provide access to appropriate resources.
