Learning the ropes

Silk Ropes
Nylon has many disadvantages for rope bondage including:
- · Nylon is slippery which can make play difficult when there is a lot going on.
- · It stretches. So a nice tight feel loosens with play.
- · It has a low burn rate. In other words it doesn’t take much friction for the rope to get hot risking burns and chafes.
- · Nylon doesn’t hold knots very well and it doesn’t hold onto itself.
But it does have its advantages:
- · It is cheap – and available at most local hardware stores.
- · It’s rated – meaning you know it its weight capacities, which makes it good for climbing and suspension.
Silk rope is plant based, machine washable and holds dye.
- Less likely to cause chaffing on the skin than nylon.
- Holds knots better because as a natural fiber – it clings to itself.
- Knots are easily removable.
- Comfortable for those all too sensitive areas.
- The more you wash it, the softer it gets – keep it out of the dryer – lay flat to dry.
Rope bondage is both tactile and visual. Men tend to look better in thicker ropes, but use thinner ropes for CBT. When buying rope -consider the coarseness and how it rubs against the skin. This only intensifies over an extended play session.
If you are going to hang from it – use nylon. If it’s going to be on your body – then silk is the way to go.
