Jute is a bit slower to tie with because of the tooth and needs care and inspection. It is more expensive though, washing or boiling it degrades fibers, and needs more time to break in. JUTE – jute, like hemp, is also traditional and usually used for Shibari. Hemp also needs a lot of work to break in, as it can be quite stiff before first use and is expensive both raw and treated. Drawbacks are that washing it affects the durability, it will shed fibers and could cause allergic reactions. It has a natural look, fantastic tooth, a variety of diameter ranges and lots of colors. HEMP – hemp is commonly used for Shibari and it is very traditional. Both sorts have their advantages and drawbacks and it all comes down to your personal preference. There are many types of bondage ropes, but mostly they are separated into two categories – Natural and Synthetic. Just keep an eye out for safety measures, which I will discuss later in this thread. Don’t be afraid to experiment with your partner and find out what works best for you. ⦁ Try to relax – there is no right or wrong when doing BDSM. This will prevent loose ends and make it more appealing to the eyes. ⦁ Fixing loose ends – try to use up all the rope when tying and if u can’t, just tuck it under another line of rope. Trim loose fibers and break the rope down in the water before using it if it gets too stiff. Try to wash it when necessary and keep it in a bag or case so it won’t get damaged. ⦁ Maintenance – every tool needs to be maintained and ropes are no exception. Usually, you will find long sets of ropes so you will have to cut them up to fill your needs. ⦁ Cutting – don’t be afraid to cut your rope into smaller pieces. ⦁ The tooth – the tooth of a rope refers to its friction, and therefore affects how well your knots will hold. It is not imperative since you can always cut the rope, but that can lead to more expenses – the remains might not be long enough for further use. ⦁ The braiding – braiding affects how tight or loose your knots get, and how difficult it will be to get them untied. By small diameter, I mean anything below 5mm.

You do not want a small diameter rope, as it can lead to injuries such as skin burns, circulation problems, bruises or even scars.

⦁ The diameter – the diameter of the rope is very important. Usually, a good hardware store has the things you need for a starting kit. If you go to a verified sex shop you could end up spending much more than you need to. Is it expensive? Well, it is and it isn’t. ⦁ The price – let’s face it, this has crossed every mind that wanted to get into bondage. Things you should know before getting started The western approach is more about restraining, but the Japanese focus more on the artistic side of the process. BDSM as we know it today, derived from the Japanese bondage art form of shibari.


I say spectrum because there are people who enjoy it both ways or don’t enjoy it at all. If you are, by chance, on the other side of the spectrum, the feeling of restraint and loss of control will take you to new heights in pleasure. If you are the dominant one in a relationship, you will enjoy tying up your partner and doing with them as you please. Using rope during sex is a form of dominance.
