This is a special rope with which, as the name implies, bondage is performed. The rope is usually used in restricting a submissive person’s freedom of movement by his or her dominant master. Bondage ropes are one of the most important tools for BDSM users. This phenomenon is not so much based on punishment and torment - which is a common misconception - but rather on high discipline. With the rope, pain stimuli or special pressure can also be built upon the sensitive zones of the person who is tied up.
What can you do with a bondage rope?
Bondage ropes are used to tie your sub up in creative ways. By doing so, you will have complete control over him or her. Your submissive BDSM partner will have nowhere to go until you let them. Depending on how the sub is seated, lying, standing, or evening hanging, this position will eventually become increasingly difficult. So being tied up in this way requires a lot of discipline!
In fact, some styles of bondage are a real art form. shibari, a popular Japanese variation, is all about creativity. It takes quite some time to tie your sub up in the most visually attractive way possible. But the results are worth the effort. For example, a tempting creation involving a bondage harness can be used. All you need for this is a rope! The focus here can also be on stimulation of pressure points, as is the case with acupuncture. Doing so will cause feelings of lust. Tip: take a workshop to master the art of shibari, as this technique requires a lot of experience to perform properly.
What types of bondage ropes are there?
Bondage ropes are made of various materials. One of the best known is cotton, which is very soft to the touch and stretchable. Hemp is a lot firmer, but also has a naturally beautiful look. When you use this type of rope, it is very important that you have worked with it before, otherwise knotting will be difficult. This difficulty is due to the roughness of the material. Jute is slightly less strong but has a natural look like hemp. Both of these are widely used for shibari. Finally, there are artificial ropes made of nylon or polypropylene. These materials are extremely strong and are therefore very suitable for bondage when a high weight capacity is required.
Which bondage rope is right for me?
It all comes down to what experience you want to create for your sub. For example, cotton is very soft, which will feel nice against the skin. This makes the material suitable for beginners. When these ropes are quickly pulled along the skin, no abrasions or tears will happen, as cotton is very stretchy and not tough. However, you can braid them around another material. Hemp, jute, and plastic are a lot stronger but also rougher. Depending on your preference, the latter options should not be shied away from.
How do I maintain my bondage rope?
It is very important that you regularly wash your ropes thoroughly after every use. This cleaning is especially true for natural materials. Make sure that the rope is completely dry before storing it, otherwise, it can rot and mould. To maintain hemp and jute bondage ropes, treat these materials regularly with beeswax. It is also possible that fluff will develop on these ropes. This fluff can be burned off easily with a lighter. Of course, make sure that you do not burn away too much fluff!
