Rope bondage, also referred to as ropeplay, is bondage involving the use of rope to restrict movement, wrap, suspend, or restrain a person, as part of BDSM activities.[1]

History

One popular form of rope bondage technique derives from the erotic Japanese bondage art form of shibari, which was in turn developed from the now-defunct Japanese military restraint technique of hojōjutsu.[2][3] An important part of rope bondage is the rope dress, which is not of itself a form of restraint, but may be used either by itself as an adornment, or as a basis for restraining bondage.[4]

Materials

Bondage ropes used come in a variety of materials and length. Japanese bondage traditionally uses natural fibers such as hemp and jute which are cut to approximately 25 foot lengths. Western-style bondage typically uses longer ropes that span a wider variety of materials.

  • Ropes (Typically of a nylon or cotton variety)
  • Household Furniture

These are just a few of the tools used in western-style bondage.[5]

Technique

Spread Eagle

A four post bed is commonly used to achieve this position with the arms and legs restrained at the ankles and wrists.

Chair Tied

The subject is placed in a chair. Wrists can be bound to arm rests on the chair or bound behind the subject's back and behind the back rest. The subject's ankles can be tied to the legs of the chair. Further ropes can be used to keep the subject fully secure.

Standing at the Cross

The St. Andrew's Cross is shaped like that of the letter 'X'. The points of each section act as your anchor points restraining the arms and legs.

Hog-Tied

The subject is restrained at the wrists and ankles with all four joints converging together while the subject rests on either their back or stomach (traditionally).
