For those of you who know us personally, you know we are very big into rope play. We run a local rope bondage group as well as teach and perform Shibari inspired Rope bondage at events whenever we can. So we thought an Article on rope would be appropriate. Rope is one of the best toys you can have in your bag. There are so many things you can do with rope, and with practice, can be done quickly. Although we prefer the slow sensual type of tying, so much more intimate.

So let us go through some of the advantages of rope and some of the many things you can do with some rope. First off rope travels very well. It is light, packs into a small space, goes through Airport security easily.

So what can you do….Well we all know you can tie your partner to a bed. But what about tying the two of you together then exploring each other. Rope can be tied loose or tight to bind and make someone immobile. You can tie someone's legs open for inspection, humiliation or sex. Hogties can immobilize any submissive in a very effective way. Hands tied behind the back allows the top to have unfettered access to the sub’s body without the slightest interference. You can tie someone to an upright pole and with proper instruction, people can be suspended in rope.

Rope is great for sensation play. Running different ropes, hemp. jute, silk or cotton, across the skin creates goose bumps and wonderful sensations on the body. Take a piece of rope and go around the waist twice and turn through the legs. You can tie and overhand knot at the clit for teasing or tie it around a males cock. If you are using hemp. Run your hands across the rope and it creates vibration, or better yet, put a vibrator in it…The entire length of the rope vibrates, a great way to tease and play.

Ropes can be used to make handcuffs or leg binders. Run the rope through a PVC pipe and you have a wonderful spreader bar! If you take a 30′ piece of rope, double it over a few times, it makes a VERY effective flogger. Using a single length of rope creates an adequate singletail as well.

So next time you have limited space pack some rope. It has as many uses as your imagination can come up with. Have fun and enjoy…
