Bondage Links And Tutorials

[pappyld04]

Here are some useful links to tutorials and such:

http://www.easternrope.com/fashions2...&theme=default (Eastern Rope has some excellent tutorials, and gives you a look at some of Rainbow Rope's lovely MFP)

http://www.bdsm-chicago.com/cram/CRAM_tuts.html (Some info on safe practices here. Heed them.)

http://www.japanbondage.de/Howto2/index.htm (There's a LOT going on here. You can also find a good breakdown of Japanese names for ties on this site)

http://www.encordees.com/pas_menu.html (This one is a mix of Eastern and Western style work)

http://www.japanrope.com/tutorial.html (This one does not cover much, but what it covers it handles very well.)

http://monkeyfetish.instantexpert.or...g2_itemId=2087 (Again, not a whole lot, but it is good at what it does cover)

http://www.japaneseropeart.com/RopeArt/tutorials.html (Tatu's Rope Dojo, not very extensive yet, but, again, fantastic stuff).

http://twistedmonk.com/video.htm (good videos, and these guys sell some great rope)

http://www.animatedknots.com/indexcl...matedknots.com (A page on knots, VERY useful)

http://www.realknots.com/knots/index.htm (Another great page on knots. If you can't find good stuff in here, you're blind. )

http://www.ropeforpleasure.com/home.html (Good general info here.)

http://ms.ha.md.us/~tammad/over21/essays/ropesel.html (Tammad's page is not working right now, but I hope it comes back up soon. It' snot revolutionary info, but it is very solid stuff, and it is pretty much where I, and a lot of other rope-jockeys, got early info. Tammad is no longer with us, and his page is kept up by others out of respect for his memory. Here's hoping the page's keepers get it back online.)

http://www.nawashibari.com/techniques/index02.html (James Mogul's site. This is another one included largely because it was one of the first sites I hit years ago and gained inspiration from. Frankly, this site and Tammad's site were what got me started. It went from there, and we've been enjoying the journey ever since.)

This is not an exhaustive catalogue of links, nor am I saying these are the best. These are simply some of th eplaces I go for explanation and inspiration. There's tons and tons of material out there if you look for it, and, yes, it is entirely possible to learn this art from the web (to a point). Just make DEAD sure that you learn what dangers are inherent to rope so, well, you don't cause anybody to get dead. Very little in BDSM is more dangerous than badly tied rope. Don't kill your bottoms, kay?

(I have made a few posts through this thread on safety, and you can find more out there. Do the research, learn anatomy, and PLAY SAFE.)

(Egads, I always get nervous as hell with this stuff. It looks doable, and I'm always scared that people will learn it half-assed, wreck their bottoms, and blame whomever put the info out for their own incompetence and lack of care.)
