How Tight Is Your Bondage?

In a word, very.  I like realism, or to be more accurate, insist on realism in my bondage art and believe me when I say, once my models are tied they stay tied.  Gagging someone effectively is a lot harder than you would think but I do my best on that score as well.

My preferred rope is a very inexpensive 3/8" diameter cotton clothesline I purchase in 200 ' bundles for something under 20 bucks, taxes in.  That works out to 10 cents a foot which makes it very affordable.  I'm not pimping the retailer here, but the only place I can find this particular rope in my city is Dom Depot.  I have found through experimentation over the years that while cotton clothesline will leave delicious rope marks, (the girls proudly sport them btw) they don't last long and I have never had an issue with burns of any sort which is not the case with some other types of rope.

I also find this type of rope soft and flexible enough that I can use lots of it (up to 200' + on a single tie), the slack can easily be pulled right out of the bondage making things very secure and a nice tight knot can be had.  A knot so tight in fact that if you are not careful will require safety scissors to cut off.  No slack what so ever and a tight out of reach knot holding everything in place makes for a lovely bondage experience indeed.

If there is a drawback to using cotton clothesline, it's when it comes to suspension.  Not at all suitable as it will not only stretch, but being so thin can cut right into the models flesh.  You can find some examples in my gallery of suspension bondage using the cotton rope true.  However of all the rope choices out there for suspension, I would put cotton clothesline one step above twine.  In fact, if suspension is your thing, do yourself a favor and take lessons.

When I rig a model, neatness is paramount.  Neat and careful rigging looks as tight as it is.  Sloppy work with crossed ropes, loose ends etc. even though tight, just has that loose look about it.  Amateurish as opposed to deliciously devilish and deviously professional.  Part of the appeal of being tied up is the attention given to the person on the receiving end.  To a woman it's the journey, to a man it's the destination and that is where and how things get screwed up.

I'm going somewhere here folks and this is important.  Bondage, to a woman is all about being tied up and lusted after.  Don't you dare touch her, especially in her private regions, once she is bound and helpless.  She is where she wants to be.  For a man, bondage is a means to an end, the end being sex.  Not what the lady wants thank you very much.  Think on that.

Cheers!
