Rope is ideal to use for bondage. The rope itself can be soft and sensuous, especially if a silken type of rope is used. Alternatively it can be made of natural fibres and be rough and itchy. But most rope used in bondage is made of artificial fibres and can be soft or hard, thick or thin, and come in a wide variety of colours. This means that different colours can be used to produce a pattern on the body of the slave.

The rope needs to be looked after and to be kept coiled and tidy between uses otherwise it rapidly becomes knotted and difficult to use. It needs to be cut into short 20-30ft lengths because using longer lengths it is much more difficult to use and more easily becomes tangled. Once you start with a single length extra lengths can always be added in. It is easy to carry and in the hands of someone trained in its use bondage can be set up quickly. Japanese policemen used to carry a length of rope to secure suspects in place of the more usually used handcuffs in the west.
But when you are learning to use rope it can take time to apply so the slave needs to keep still and be patient and the bondage will then be easier and look better. It is a good tool for bondage with the risks being that a loop of rope around the neck has the risk of becoming a noose and strangling the subject. If the rope is removed rapidly the skin may be damaged and there may be a “rope burn”. If a slave is to be put into complex bondage or even rope suspension there are risks that the rope may become too tight and cut off the circulation so anyone using rope for bondage should consider having a pair of shears to cut the rope handy when they do it.
Rope is very versatile as a way of securing slaves. Simple rope bondage around the wrists or the ankles works to immobilize, or the rope can be used to tie together cuffs already on the slave. Once wrists are tied behind the slave and the ankles are secured the two parts can be tied together to put the slave into a hog-tie position, helpless and unable to move. Rope can also be used to produce a rope harness or to wrap around and around the waist to produce a rope corset which crushes the slave and can be worn under clothes outside.
The slave can be tied to a chair so he cannot escape or attached and spread-eagled on the bed with rope around each ankle and wrist tied to then bed frame. All of these are relatively easy to do, quick to put in place and the rope itself is cheap and easy to carry so useful if the Mistress and slave go away or if the bondage kit needs to be packed away when bondage is not happening.
But rope can also be used to make complex bondage arrangements. In Japanese rope bondage there are many different techniques used to secure a slave. There are complex harnesses, bondage to the arms and the body, rope around the breast areas.
A bondage system can be produced which leaves the slave totally helpless and then secured to a raised point so the slave is suspended in the air. The pictures in videos and bondage books such as those produced by the rope specialist Midori look spectacular and take hours to produce and to make a work of art. For this sort of Japanese rope bondage, often termed the art of “Shibari” practice is needed. If Mistress wishes to use rope in this way on her slaves then She will need to practice, to study videos and manuals or even to take lessons.
There are professionals who will teach this sort of rope bondage, masters and Mistresses of their art and make it all look easy but they can teach simple techniques relatively quickly and many of the books and videos have a step by step guide of how to do it. What a Mistress needs is time to practice, a compliant slave, lots of rope and a book to show her how to do it. Soon She will not need the book and make the patterns herself. Suspension rope bondage is a different matter for her the last thing a Mistress wants is to string up her slave and have him fall or damage himself.
my experience with rope bondage came first from a Mistress who liked it and used it on me all the time. A subsequent Mistress bought one of Midori’s books and used it to guide her with me blindfolded so i could not see what was happening. my Mistress now had the opportunity to study rope bondage with a master of the art when we went to Denver a couple of years ago for a week. We attended classes with others and also with the trainer, just the pair of us. i was the subject and responsible for tidying up the rope afterwards and coiling it away. Mistress learned to put me in a body harness, a whole body harness involving head to toe, a rope corset, and to bind my arms tightly together in many different ways. i was introduced to the difficulty of coping bound sitting with crossed legs arms secured to ankles and head bent forward and other stress positions. It was a fabulous introduction to rope bondage techniques.
Since then Mistress uses rope when She wants to and uses it to make things difficult for me. i may be in a bondage bag but it be made even tighter with coils of rope drawn tightly around it. i can be put in a hog-tie position so i lie on my face with arms secured to ankles behind me , or on the floor with thighs bent so i cannot get up. She uses the rope to link other cuffs and also has had me tied tightly to a chair, ankles to the front legs, back with coils around my stomach to prevent me getting up and with extra rope on to my collar to hold me bending forward. A good position for typing and ideal for Mistress to place me to write reports and do part of the A to Z guide. i was left tied in place for several hours.
