How To Treat Hemp Rope For Bondage (Guest Post)

Today I have a guest post from Tess, a rope artist who has supplied a significant amount of information on hemp rope and how to treat hemp rope in the comments on the best rope for bondage. Because not everybody reads the comments, I asked her permission to turn the information into a coherent post, so that more people will have the chance to see it and apply this knowledge when thinking about getting or treating hemp rope for bondage.  The pictures within this post were supplied by Tess (note: the featured photo shows hemp (top) and Moco jute (bottom) both processed the same way, on the same day. The hemp was washed first and has been used since; but look at the difference!)

​Finding Partners And Teachers For Bondage – Pete Riggs

I’m writing this post in response to a very well written and politely worded email from a gentleman named Steve.
I’ve written a lot about learning how to tie and useful ways to practice, as well as why people enjoy bondage.
What I haven’t written about so much is how to find partners in your nearby community, and how to meet people with that common interest in rope or in being tied up,and building your reputation so that people feel safe to approach you.
So I’m going to lay out a few strategies, and then I’m going to leave a call to action for others to add additional ideas on the comments, because it’s a big wide world and it’s always great to get additional ideas from others who do this kind of thing.

The Booto Hip Harness

I honestly couldn’t decide whether to call this hip harness the “Booto” or the “Hot Cross Bum”, but I’ve decided to go with “Booto” because it’s shorter. This thing is really useful for partial and full suspensions, and potentially for increasing sensitivity on the ass as well, should you be keen on that sort of thing (think spanking and impact).

Preventing People From Undoing The Knots You Tied Them In

Every now and then we end up tying people who are determined to be… well, tricksy. Who will try and untie your knots and escape your rope. And sometimes that’s the nature of the game. “Let’s see how long it takes you to get out.”

And sometimes, we want to make life more difficult for such people.

So below is a very simple trick to make escape a lot more difficult.

How To Use Negotiation For A Rope Scene

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:

  • The expectations of a scene
  • Learning about physical and mental health
  • Establishing communication guidelines
  • Negotiating aftercare
  • Discussing the other activities that can take place during the scene
  • Personal preferences
  • And a wee bonus tip that saves a lot of hassle
