Nawa-yoi 縄酔い

"Rope drunk": a term Shibari Study equates with the feeling of subspace, experienced while being tied or after a rope session.

Nawa-yoi is written with the characters for rope and for intoxication (Jisho gives drunkenness for yoi), and Shibari Study translates it as “rope drunk”. Its glossary equates it with the feeling of subspace, experienced during a rope session or after it. This entry rests on a single practitioner glossary, so treat the definition as one community’s usage.
