Bondage rope can also be used to cause discomfort, pain, humiliation or pressure on genital areas and / or breasts. It can also be combined very well with the use of other SM articles, such as ticklers and whips.

What can you do with a bondage rope?

For bondage you can use different items, such as handcuffs. The big advantage of rope is the variety of possibilities to tie your sub. To give you an idea of what you can do with it, we have listed a number of options for you.

Freedom Restriction

Certainly for people who are just starting out with bondage, restriction of freedom is often the most important goal. One of the partners is tied up and is at the mercy of the (sexual) needs or whims of the other partner . Tying up can be done in many different ways.

You can, for example, attach the arms and / or legs of your partner or sub to the bed with a rope. But you can also choose to leave him or her standing and tie it to a hook in the ceiling with a rope. This is an extra test for your sub, because there can be no rest and the posture is getting heavier.

You can also tie your hands behind your back and possibly tie your ankles together if you want to see your sub wriggling helplessly on the ground. There are many possibilities and the big advantage of rope, compared to cuffs for example, is that you can try something different every time.

Shibari

Shibari is Japanese for bondage and some riggers (knotters) have turned it into a true art form . Shibari is therefore not only about restriction of freedom or enjoyment, but also about the artistic and visual aspect. The aim is often to make the most beautiful bondage possible, which also exerts pressure on the right points and thus causes excitement. Applying such a bondage takes quite some time. Because the dominant is so intimately involved with the sub for a long time, a stronger and closer bond is created.

With the Shibari technique you provide stimulation with the help of certain pressure points, comparable to acupuncture , which creates erotic lust. This technique does require some experience. To master it properly, you could follow a workshop.

Bondage harness

A bondage harness can be used to restrict the freedom of movement, but can also serve as decoration or as stimulation of genitalia or breasts. The Shibari technique is often used for tying a bondage harness. With a bondage harness you can, for example, tie the arms along the body or tie them at the back. For example, a rope can also be placed over the vagina and anus. This area is stimulated and stimulated. For the tied person it is often very exciting when the ropes put pressure on the genitals or the breasts. You can provide extra pleasure by tying a knot exactly at the location of the clitoris or anus.

Suspension (suspension)

If you have more experience with knotting and would like to go a step further, you can choose to hang your partner or sub in the air using bondage ropes . This is often referred to as 'suspension' in the BDSM world, after the English word for suspension. It is quite a challenge and very exciting and exciting for both of you. When your sub is in the air, he or she is completely powerless. Often arms and legs are tied in such a way that only minimal movement can be made. As a dominant you experience an intense feeling of power. And, if you have tied in such a way that everything is easily accessible, you can fully enjoy the body of your sub. Often a harness is first made for suspension. Make sure you choose a harness that is suitable for this. Not all harnesses are meant to hang your sub in the air.

With suspension it is very important that you know what you are doing. It is not the intention to pinch parts of the body or nerves to such an extent that something really damages. For example, to learn how to knot properly you could follow a workshop.

Self-bondage

In the BDSM scene there is also a current of people who tie themselves up. If you thoroughly enjoy being tied, but you don't have a partner or Dominant around who can do this for you, self-bondage may be an option. For example, with a bondage rope you can tie yourself to a chair, pillar or beam. Tying your hands yourself is a lot more difficult and if you succeed, chances are that you will not be able to get yourself free. To avoid having to wait for help to be freed, it is better to use handcuffs on your hands.

Tie off

Body parts or genitals can also be tied off with a bondage rope. For example, the rope can be tied around the breasts, penis or balls. This causes the skin to swell, which causes sexual arousal or a pleasant painful stimulus. You can also prevent a flaccid penis from becoming erect by binding off. If you ligate a erect penis, you ensure that the erection lasts longer, because the blood cannot flow back.

When ligating body parts or genitalia it is very important to keep an eye on the health of your sub. Pinching it too long or too tight can cause permanent damage. Keep an absolute maximum of 15 minutes and pay close attention to signals from the body. Numbness, tingling and severe pain are signs that the rope is too tight.

Let your imagination run wild

Actually, the possibilities with bondage rope are endless. If you can think of it, most likely you can tie it too. Some riggers or Dominants tie a whole web of rope to which they attach their sub. There are also many ways to hang your sub. As long as you keep a close eye on important bloodstreams or nerves, you can let your imagination run wild and let your hair down. To increase the possibilities even further, you can also combine a rope with other bondage items .

What is the difference between the bondage ropes?

Bondage ropes are made of different materials. Each material has advantages and disadvantages. It just depends on what you want to use it for. Below you will find more information about the different material types.

Cotton

Cotton bondage rope is most commonly used in Europe. It's affordable and soft to the touch . You also do not get burns quickly if the rope is quickly pulled along the skin. Because cotton is a natural material, it is very important to let the rope dry well and not to store it closed. This can cause the rope to rot or mold. The material can also absorb dirt and bacteria. It is therefore advisable to wash and dry a rope regularly. An additional advantage of drying in the dryer is the extra softness that the rope gets. Another drawback of cotton is its stretchability. This makes it more difficult for a dominant to estimate how tight the rope should be. Cotton is also not the strongest material. When the cotton is woven around a sturdy thread of a different material, you do have the softness of cotton, but also the strength of the other material.

Hemp

Hemp is often used for Shibari (Japanese bondage). This rope has a beautiful, natural look and is also a lot stronger than, for example, cotton . With this material, make sure that it has already been processed when you buy it. Untreated it is a lot rougher and difficult to tie. Because it is a natural material, just like cotton, it also has to be washed regularly. Hemp must also dry under light tension. You can burn off the fluff to get it smooth again. The material is a lot rougher than cotton, but that can also be an advantage. It just depends on what the purpose of bondage is.

Jute

Just like hemp, jute is also increasingly used for shibari. The biggest advantage is the look of the rope. If you are going to knot for photos, burlap is definitely recommended. A disadvantage is that it is less strong than hemp. Unless, as with cotton, it is braided around another material. Just like hemp, jute must be washed regularly and dried under light tension. \

Plastic

A bondage rope made of nylon or polypropylene is very strong and therefore also very suitable for bondage techniques that require a high load-bearing capacity. Another advantage of plastic is the short drying time and the fact that it cannot rot or mold . A disadvantage of plastic rope is the greater chance of burning. If you pull rope quickly against the skin, burns can occur. You can easily prevent this by keeping your own hand between your sub and the rope. Then you can feel it yourself when it gets too hot and therefore goes too fast.

What should you pay attention to if you want to buy a bondage rope and which ropes are best?

Which bondage rope is most suitable for you depends on a number of things. What are you going to use it for, for example? Who are you going to tie up and which technique are you going to use for this? Below you can read which rope is most suitable for you.

What are you going to use it for?

When choosing the most suitable bondage rope, it is especially important to ask yourself what you are going to use it for. Are you going to experiment with bondage for the first time ? Then a cotton rope is a great choice.

Would you like to go a step further and put on a bondage harness using the Shibari technique? Then a hemp rope is very suitable. If you then have an erotic photo session planned, the jute rope, like the one, is also recommended.

Are you planning to subject your (sex) partner to a slightly more intense bondage experiment, such as suspension, where the bound partner is suspended in the air? Then a plastic rope can be a good choice.

Thickness

In principle, you can assume that a thinner rope will cut more than a thicker rope. It is especially important to look at the stature of the person you want to tie. Most ropes have a diameter of 6mm and this is ideal for people of average stature. For a slightly larger or heavier person, you could choose 8mm and for an extremely heavy person 10 or 12mm. In Japan, where the people are often smaller and slender than in Europe, a rope of 4mm is often used.

Color

The choice of a particular color is mainly personal. Cotton and plastic are available in different colors and it is mainly a matter of taste which color you choose. Hemp and jute are often brown / beige in color. This is the natural color of the material and this material often comes into its own in photos.

Length

Bondage ropes are available in different lengths and sometimes in sets of several ropes with the same or different lengths. For Shibari you usually need a lot of rope and then a rope of 9 meters or more is not an unnecessary luxury. If you only want to use the rope to apply simple bondages, a rope of 3 or 5 meters is also sufficient. Especially in the beginning, a long rope can be awkward and quickly become tangled.

How do you use a bondage rope in a safe way?

The use of a bondage rope is definitely an enrichment for your sex life, but it is not completely without risks. With the following tips you ensure an unforgettable experience that is worth repeating.

Ensure good communication

Before you start the bondage game it is important to be well informed about the health of your sub. For example, are there back or neck complaints or other problems, such as easily fainting or thrombosis? These are all things to keep in mind. With thrombosis, for example, it is more dangerous to pinch parts of the body. And if your sub already has back problems, it is unwise to tie him in a crooked position.

In addition, agree on a stop sign or word in advance. This ensures that you can enjoy yourself without worrying that things will happen that you really don't want.

Immerse yourself in knotting techniques

Bondage with bondage ropes is not entirely without risk. It is therefore important not to just start knotting, but to do some research first. For simple bondages, such as tying arms or legs, a video on Youtube or an explanation on the internet is sufficient. But if you plan to use Shibari techniques or hang your sub in the air, it is important that you know what you are doing. For example, follow a course or training. Here you learn where pressure points are and what the consequences can be of squeezing certain pressure points.

Tips for a longer life of your bondage ropes

Especially if you use a bondage rope made of natural material, the rope requires some maintenance. The material can hold bacteria and dirt. To prevent unpleasant odors and infections, it is advisable to wash the rope regularly and then let it dry well. Natural rope can rot or mold and should therefore always be stored dry and unsealed. Hemp and jute also require some extra maintenance. To keep the rope flexible, it can help to regularly apply wax, such as beeswax. You can also gently burn off fluff if it causes irritation.

All tips in a row

Wash (especially natural) rope regularly and let it dry on light tension <
Store the rope in a dry dark place (preferably not closed)
Treat hemp on burlap regularly with wax, such as beeswax
You can burn off any fluff on jute on hemp
