Shrimp tie

A shrimp tie (海老責め, ebi-zeme) (also known as an ebi (海老) or a kuri (繰り)) is a type of Kinbaku bondage. It originated over 300 years ago in Japan as a torture and interrogation technique. Due to the forced bent down position of the upper body this position sends a burning sensation through the body if the subject remains in it for a long time.

Due to the knees which are widely spread the position resembles the legs of a crab or shrimp.

All variations have the crossed position of the ankles in common.
