Guide to Bondage Rope & Ties

bondage ropeFor some, bondage begins and ends with rope. For these folks, rope is the true method of restraint and can be crafted into exceptionally intricate works of art - that also happen to be very kinky as well!

As a result, those who are into rope bondage are usually very particular about the type of rope they use. Not only does the person being tied feel the strength of the binding, but the person doing the tying feels it through their hands. Everybody gains a preference for what they like best and bondage rope and ties can be very specific.

What are bondage rope and ties?

As one of the primary implements of bondage, rope and ties are a fundamental addition to your bondage pleasure kit. But not all rope is created equal and certain items should not be used as ties. Bondage rope is specifically designed to create a secure tie and solid knots, all while not chafing or scratching the person being tied. The weaves of bondage rope work to ensure a snug hold as well as a comfortable feel on the skin. Ties are just like rope - but usually a different shape and material. Ties are often short in length and have specific use as wrist and ankle binds.

Why should I use bondage rope and ties?

Bondage ropes and ties are a great way to become familiar with the world of bondage and kink. Many of the sexy things you are going to want to try in this world involve tying knots with rope. Getting a feel for this type of bondage will not only be hot, but it will also be useful. Rope and tie bondage is also a very intimate experience between a top and bottom. It takes much more time to tie a proper knot, much more time than it takes to strap on cuffs or use bondage tape. A different kind of bond could be formed.

Can’t I just get some at the hardware store?

There are many different types of rope out there, but not all of them are appropriate for rope bondage. Many types of bondage rope are made from silk and soft nylon. These ensure your bottom won’t be injured by chafing or roughness. Ropes from the hardware store can be made from many different materials, including cotton, jute, sisal and more. Some of these materials will not feel at all good on the skin, and might make tying secure knots a challenge. You should also not try using items from the hardware store as any kind of bondage tie. Whatever that book said about zip-ties - forget it!

What size bondage rope do I need?

An exciting adventure you can try with bondage rope is seeing what you can do with different lengths. Bondage rope comes in lengths between 3 and 10 metres and much can be done with these different lengths. Short rope is great for very intimate ties, something like wrists around the waist. Longer pieces of bondage rope can let you incorporate furniture or very elaborate knots. And, of course, you are not restricted to using just one length of rope on its own. Feel free to use as many as you need!

How can I use bondage rope and ties?

Whenever you use bondage rope on another person, you have to remember that you are placing someone else in a very vulnerable position. Unlike other restraints, rope can be very unforgiving. It doesn’t have an automatic limit like cuffs do and it is much more powerful than bondage tape. Ties as well, they can seriously hurt someone when not applied properly.

So it is important to note here that to properly understand how to use bondage rope and ties, please consult some other sources. It is a very intricate art that needs to be respected.

In the meantime, here are a few tips. Try to keep the strength of the bind away from joints. Veins are often closer to the surface around the joints so you are more likely to damage them if they're tied too tight. Also, never restrain a person in bondage rope or ties and then leave them alone for a length of time. If you have accidently tied too tight, the submissive could lose strength or worse. And of course, avoid tying bondage rope or ties around the neck.
