Rope bondage is bondage involving the use of rope to restrict movement, wrap, suspend, or restrain a person, as part of BDSM activities.[1]
History
One popular form of rope bondage technique derives from the erotic Japanese bondage art form of shibari, which was in turn developed from the now-defunct Japanese military restraint technique of hojōjutsu.[2][3] 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.[4]
Materials
Bondage ropes used come in a variety of materials and length. Japanese bondage traditionally uses natural fibers such as hemp and jute which are cut to approximately 25 foot lengths. Western-style bondage typically uses longer ropes that span a wider variety of materials.
- Ropes (Typically of a nylon or cotton variety. Nylon is considered to be the safest and most comfortable material to use)
- Household Furniture
These are just a few of the tools used in western-style bondage.[5]
Technique
Spread Eagle
A four post bed is commonly used to achieve this position with the arms and legs restrained at the ankles and wrists.
Standing at the Cross
The St. Andrew's Cross is shaped like that of the letter 'X'. The points of each section act as your anchor points restraining the arms and legs.
Hog-Tied
The subject is restrained at the wrists and ankles with all four joints converging together while the subject rests on either their back or stomach (traditionally).
