Rope Bondage Reading Material

[Deleted Member]

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone can point me in the correct direction. 🤞🏻

I'm new to trying to learn rope bondage and want to try to find some reading and learning material, currently using the Dutchy website which I will say is awesome but just after some other advise / different books as well as I like to take information from various sources not just one.

I am a sub and am learning this to ensure when I play with my Dom I am safe and know what is happening, it's not just a Dom's responsibility to ensure everyone involved is playing safe (at least not in my opinion)

Thank you all in advance for any tips, help or guidance! 🤗

the books I own are Douglas Kent's Complete Shibari

There's 3 volumes 

Vol 1 right now is sat on Amazon for £34 - which is nuts.  You can buy direct from Douglas' website for $25.  He's also got assorted bundles including other of his books and, well, rope.   But, his rope isn't quite the cheapest

One advantage we found with a book is that when we were doing something in the middle of the woods - I could pull the book straight out for any problems

Love the visual of out in the woods with the book!

I can recommend Mark Varley’s videos (and rope)

Website - beautifulbondage -gallery-category-4. He’s also super helpful if you happen to be on the other Fet site.

I was with my wife doing some play and a little Damsel-in-distress kinda photoshoot - and the tie just didn't seem right - and, y'know, safety first - went to my bag, pulled out the book - sorted

Sounds great! I miss rope, but haven’t met anyone for a while who knows itZ

Amazon have a great selection now, look out for the word rigger, that’s a rope expert or google breast or body ties for how to do it guides

for beautiful but complicated rope work look out for ‘shibari’

I've been working my way through theduchy and, especially crash-restraint which has an excellent program starting with safety and moving through come really interesting stuff.  Theduchy has some interesting patterns to tie rope floggers too.
