Rope bondage is essentially using rope to tie up your partner. It can be an exciting form of BDSM play between people that can be as simple as tying your partner's hands being their backs, or as intricate as using Shibari style which is an elaborate setup using suspension rings. Rope Bondage and Shibari are as much about presentation and expertise of both the subject and the artist as they are about pleasure. For more information on the Shibari art, please consult our guide to the Shibari practice.

What is Rope Bondage

BDSM bondage rope, the Japanese art of kinbaku or shibari, is the practice of using intricate knotwork to bind, restrain and adorn the body. Started in the Edo Era of Japan it was used by sheriffs to bind their prisoners. As they practiced the knotwork on their concubines, it became an erotic form of rope play that has lasted to this day.

Rope Play 101: Where to Start and How to Tie a Bondage Rope

When starting out, it's important to take a class so you can make sure you and your partner are safe. The only two items you must have are bondage safety shears and rope. Start out with 10-15 feet of rope so it doesn't get tangled. As you gain experience, you can tie the rope to itself to extend it or get a longer rope. Silky cotton bondage rope feels good against the skin and nylon rope is strong and durable. When you get into more advanced knotwork or suspension, use hemp bondage rope or any rope that won't slip once tension is applied. Try going to kinky munches, meetups, or FetLife events near you to learn in person!
