Rope Bondage is a form of
BDSM play that is
cheap,
inconspicuous and requires minimal
skill. It is a very popular
sexual activity that is practiced by people of varying
sexual preferences both in and out of the
BDSM community
Rope Bondage differs from
Japanese Rope Bondage in that it usually does not involve complete body wrapping or suspension, and is not often done for artistic purpose.
That being said, let's get
down and dirty!
What kind of
rope should be used?
Nylon is the most
popular. It's
soft,
durable and
easily maintained. It's also cheap, comes in many colors and can be gotten almost anywhere.
Parachute rope is good for
finishing work, but can be more
difficult to find.
Polypropylene sucks,
avoid it.
Climbing rope is
expensive,
stretchy and can be
abrasive--but it's GREAT for
suspension.
What size of rope is best? It really doesn't matter. Use the best
size and
length for what you're doing. Usually 1/4" to 1/2"
diameter rope is best to start with for general
bondage. Length can be from 30' - 50' depending on the size of the person you're tying (the
bottom). If you're doing a full
wrap or
suspension you may want lengths up to 100'...but be sure not to
tangle it!
Care and feeding of rope. Wash your rope and air dry it. After it dries, work it back to softness and either store it in a
rope chain or neat coils in a
cool,
dry,
dark place. Many
Dom's color code their ropes according to thickness and length so they don't get mixed up in a
scene.
Safety! NEVER LEAVE THE BOTTOM ALONE WHILE
BOUND!!! When the
bottom wants out, let them out. Make sure you don't make anything too
tight (watch for purple
extremities!). Be sure you can untie the
knots fast. Keep a pair of safety
scissors around in case you
can't untie the knots quickly. NEVER TIE ANYTHING AROUND THE NECK!!!
