The rope x tables is intended to give you an exercise program that helps you practice the core rope skills and techniques, so that you get better faster and in a more organized way.
Pro-Tip: Practice tying slowly at first, to get the details right. Speed comes with further practice. Once details and speed feel natural, utilize the below maxims for greatest effect.

Adding to the site because yesterday I was asked a question by a newbie and I realized (after I had answered with something stupid, that actually sounded REALLY stupid) I had completely forgotten and had to ask someone else.
So I’m actually writing it down, because otherwise I’ll forget. And what’s a website for, if not writing things down so you don’t forget, and sharing it with others?
Today I’m showing you a video on how to store your rope in such a way as to snap it out dramatically just before you play.
Suspension is something that frequently comes up with regard to rope bondage. People see pictures of it, and are awed at how graceful, beautiful, and intense it looks. Rope artists and riggers want to learn it, to do it; rope bottoms want to try it.
This post discusses the ins and outs, the ups and downs, and most importantly, the whys of suspension.
Today I have a simple question.
Having read all the stuff on this blog so far, what are some of the questions you have?
I feel like I’ve been saying an awful lot about rope and rope bondage and some of the fun I’ve had with it… and how you can have fun with it, too. And that’s been great; but it also feels a bit like a one sided conversation, you know?
So what kind of questions do you have? What would you like to know? Do you have questions about me, about bondage? About some of the people I’ve tied?
If you’re curious, what are you curious about?
Comment below.
This is another one of those awful questions which is most efficiently answered by “That’s entirely dependent on you and your individual tastes and style”.
But, as I’ve already mentioned, I rather hate that kind of answer. So I’m going to actually discuss some of the factors that affect this, and hopefully I’ll be able to provide some food for thought and actually help you make some informed choices about how long your rope lengths are, how many of them you have, etc.
I’m going to discuss
– the typical lengths of rope, and why
– the number of lengths of rope, and why
– and other important bits and bobs that it’s very handy to have in your rope kit.
When you get all excited about getting into rope and rope bondage, it’s very likely that at some point you’re going to want to send away for some actually really nice rope, for example hemp, or my personal favourite, jute. And you’re probably going to want to get it untreated, because it costs less that way. And fair enough. I did exactly that.
However, when it first arrives, it’s very likely that you’re going to be a little shocked at just how stiff and unyielding it is – and to feel a bit dismayed about the prospect of tying someone up in that. You can just tell that it’s going to be difficult (This is not always the case; individual rope makers create products with varying qualities). You might also be a bit shocked at the machine smell – it can remind some people a lot of kerosene.
Here’s how to make your rope look, smell, and feel a whole lot better.
Let’s assume you’ve met someone that you want to tie up, and they’re interested in being tied up by you.
Do you a) just tie them up with no further discussion?
Or b) have some talks about it first? In other words, negotiate?
Here’s a hint. Don’t go with A.
This post will discuss:
This is a different sort of post; I had an experience last week that I want to talk about.
Last week, for the first time in a long time, I tied a person who is my friend and a fellow top.
And I had an ulterior motive. Continue reading Rope and Relaxation
The secondary column tie is a core part of the rope bondage curriculum, right after the single column tie and the two column tie. It’s essential if you want to solve a lot of rope bondage problems in the safest way possible. Continue reading The Secondary Column Tie
