About

My name is Pete Riggs.

Keyhole 3

I first got into rope bondage about six years ago, because I had a girlfriend who really wanted to be tied up – which was new to me. That required some learning, all right!

Since that time, I’ve come a long way. I’ve spent years learning from all sorts of sources, books, videos, getting one to one instruction, dvds, the Internet, and from my own experience in tying some absolutely lovely people. It’s all adding up… and it’s adding up to a lot of fun.

Rope feels natural to me now, and I get a lot of joy out of providing those shiveringly hot intense times that can come with rope bondage, and out of creating beautiful and hot scenes with rope bondage.

I don’t consider myself a rope master, or a guru; rather, I’m using this site to organize and share the things that I learn and also discuss tricks and tips with my readers, so that we can all learn together.

One of the plus sides to doing this is that all the study and knowledge I gain from books, videos, instruction and practice gets sort of condensed together, filtered, and then the best of it gets put in one place. Here, at Rope Connections.

My general style with rope and rope bondage incorporates learning from all kinds of different cultures; I’ve borrowed heavily from shibari as the base of my style because I love the simplicity and the aesthetic of some of those techniques;  because it’s easy, it’s fast, and it’s damn sexy. However I don’t limit myself to shibari; I will pick up whatever works within a reasonable margin of safety, and that I enjoy.

The point is having fun; experiencing intimacy, connection, and hot times with others. Making pretty women even sexier in rope; adding to the intensity of the moment; using rope as a tool to accomplish the full range of BDSM interactions.

Outside of all this, I’m a full time professional; I read a lot of gorgeous fantasy fiction, and enjoy a lot of Netflix. I geek out pretty hard, and get ridiculously excited over things like new Star Wars movies, and watching Dr Who on Netflix with appropriate company. I love swimming and enjoy visiting the beach on occasion.

I’ve recently developed an interest in minimalism – it’s really amazing how less stuff feels like more freedom.

I like to lift heavy things, because I like being healthy and for me, it’s a lot more fun than running.

I like to teach, I like to support others, and I like to geek out really hard over rope bondage and everything else I’ve mentioned.

Great to meet you 🙂

  1. I was recently asked to wear “Hishi Karada.” He wants me to wear it for pretty long periods of time. My concern is that there would be chafing that could lead to a skin infection. Does that happen?

    1. Not usually! I suppose it could be possible if a) it’s really tight, b) the rope moves a lot or c) it’s rough rope.
      So if you’re moving around a lot and it’s tight and it’s rough, yeah it’s possible. Highly recommend asking for smooth rope and not too tight.
