Using Rope in BDSM

Rope bondage is, as the name suggests, the practice of tying people up with rope. To many it's an art form, whether using rope to tie your partner to a bed, or for the more intricate Shibari, of all BDSM equipment, rope is probably the most widely available; it is also relatively cheap and versatile.

Rope used in erotic bondage is usually required to be soft to avoid chafing the skin, and easy to twist and straighten.

An important part of rope bondage is the rope dress, which is not of itself a form of restraint, but may be used either by itself as an adornment, or as a basis for restraining bondage.

Use some of the links below to discover a bit more of the use of rope in bondage. As always, don't forget... Safe, Sane and Consensual (SSC) !
