ok, so, im really into bondage, but cant tie someone up worth shit.

i know a shitload of knots, and can tie a harness, but i just cant do any binds i guess, my gf/me, slip out really easy, could someone give me some advice/point me in the direction to learn?

also, any other tips regarding BDSM, like things to watch for, dangers, shit like that?

Dangers?
i was into some of that shit for a while but it never went past handcuffs and a whip, wtf are you 2 doin

my only advice is get handcuffs cuz knots can fuck up your hand and for knots tie a simple snare knot you wont come out of it but if it cuts of circulation you just ease up

also one question
definition of sm because i always thought it was sadistic/masochistic but then someone said slave/master(wtf) and yet another said sexual mutilation so what do you think?

just tying eachother up thats all, pretty much like handcuffs only you can get the hands and legs i guess and ive heard about like circulation gettin caught off

it would be funny to try and explain to your parents or whatever why you lost your hands and feet from loss of circulation

Can I borrow your girl?

5$ please

Hangmans noose is nice. Little more security than the snare knot. Basically it takes more friction to tighten and loosen. Which for you means less tightness (loss of circulation) for more security and inhibition. Thats a good one to use for tying to the legs of a bed (if theres little slack its almost impossible to get out of) and hogties. It works poorly on simple hand cuff style ties because they are easy to loosen when the wrists have room to move. They work very well for ankle ties. especially given the variation in ankle size and insane cost of leather ankle shackles.

here are my favorite knot sites. They have some knots that are more complex but even less painful while being incredibly restrictive.

here are some diy s&m project sites. Some carpentry skills are required for the big projects. If you have your own place a St. Andrews cross is simple but effective.

enjoy, have a safe word, and always remember: Safe, Sane, and Consensual.

Sincerely,
Your Friendly Neighborhood Bondage Man

my boyfriend and i have tied each other to the bed but we basically just knotted the ropes around our wrists/ankles about a million times and only later noticed our blue extremities. so i don't suggest that method.
if you tie her arms above her head--like wrists together and stretched above her--instead of out on each side i think it would work better.

Hehe. BDSM is a life style ;).

Tying up isn't really that hard. You can get pretty creative with it too. Different positions. I think the arms and legs spread tied to bed would get pretty boring after a while :P. Practice, practice is all I can say. Try new things too.

You can try making her tie herself up. Self bondage can be fun , but hard. Also, an easier way to get someone to the point where they have no ability to move is to use belts. They're good for tying legs, one belt on the ankles and one above or below the knee. The rest of the belt (slack) can be used for things too. Hehe, from there you can tie his or her hands to their ankles with either rope or another belt around the wrists. Hogtied ftw. Belts also make makeshift collars, and the slack can be tied to something or pulled on. Shush, I like belts ;P.

Work on the tying up, do it to yourself over and over again or just bore your partner, take turns too. If you can't get it, use belts or those plastic ties, have scissors handy cuz those need to be cut too.

As for the circulation, don't worry about that. As long as they aren't in that position or rope tightness isn't that strong for a long time, you'll be okay. Quick rapes with circulation cut off is just fine ;)


Taquito's info is also very helpfull. :)

wow thx! i didnt kno there were that many knots i didnt know about! yay!!!

definately going to kinkyropes constantly and doing that patriot gauntlet thing someday lol.

yea tie those gauntlets around the arms and tying their like "leftover" rope together i guess, leave a few inches on the start and end to tie them together tightly and yea,two points and you cant get out very easy

but thx for the info, gonna start ASAP lol, gonna be spendin the night with my gf friday, and im def taking all the rope i can find with me :)

also, has anyone tried bondage tape? i was looking into buying some because as much as i want to, im not going to start taping myself up with duct tape...ouch! D:

but yea, im really good with harnesses, and kno how to make 3 different ones M/F. yay me, but its so hard to tie myself up...and she cant tie a knot at all, so i guess ill be the dominate one...:( meh, still fun so fuck it :D

Actually the bowline as many other knots, decrease rope strength by 50-60 percent.

My favorite hand tie. Have her hold her wrists parallel 2-4 inches apart. (unfortunately I have no willing assistant at the moment, so two sticks will suffice)

Then acquire a suitable rope 5/16"-3/8" diameter of a ten-fifteen foot length . And hold the bight like so

Then us your thumb and forefinger to pull the up though the bight to for a lark's head knot.

Expand it to fit over both wrists

Wrap the rope around both wrist 3-4 times in the direction that does not allow the original knot to loosen.

Tuck rope though the original bight.

Take the two free ends, and wrap in in opposing direction.

Tighten the wraps as neccesary to prevent escape, but loose enough to fit a finger or two under each cuff.

Finally tie a binding knot of your choice. (reef knot is the easiest, a clove hitch or constrictor knot would be harder to escape from
