Where to get it

Most discount and hardware stores

How to use it

Rope can be used in a lot of ways, from bondage, to decoration, to an impromptu whip or flogger. You can secure your sub to him/herself, a bed or futon, a bondage frame, a cieling hook, etc. You can also tie a sub in rope, but do so in a way that does not constrict their movements.

Safety tips, or words of caution

I recommend a heavy, soft nylon braided rope, it's sturdy and soft against the skin, in addition to being easy to work with. You want to stay away from rough ropes, such as clothesline, because hte can easily chafe the skin leaving rope-burns.

When using rope for bondage, always make sure that it is loose enough to maintain circulation beyond the bondage point, a good rule of thumb is to be sure you can insert 2 fingers between the rope and the skin. Also frequently check for circulation by looking for changes in skin color, or temperature on the side of the bondage away from the heart; if you notice a change, loosen the rope!

Even well tied knots can slip and tighten a sub struggles, so be alert.

Approximate cost

Varies greatly with the rope and quantity. 50' heavy soft nylon braided rope $5-$7

Morn's rating

Pain Scale Ouch!Ouch! (2 of 10)
Pleasure Scale: Mmmm!Mmmm!Mmmm!Mmmm!Mmmm!Mmmm!Mmmm!Mmmm!Mmmm! (9 of 10)
Oh as you might have guessed one of my favorite things is bondage :) The pain scale was really based on how badly I got cramped up in certain positions. I like to be rendered helpless and vulnerable to what ever my Master desires to do with me :)
