How to Tie Bondage: 10 Different Ways

You could be prepared to experiment with some bondage play and sex constraints if you and your spouse have been considering getting knotty (yeah, we went there!) in your sex life. What a fantastic idea! You won’t find many bondage-minded couples disputing that tying each other up can be empowering, motivating, and just plain fun for everyone.

Returning to our little joke, we will examine some tried-and-true methods for tying bondage knots today. You’re in the perfect area if you’re studying self-bondage, trying bondage restraints for the first time, or searching for new rope bondage techniques! Our helpful guide will assist you as you and your playmate explore the seductive realm of tied-up enjoyment. In case you and your rope-loving companion get wounded during suspended bondage or other sexual bondage rope situations, we’ll also go over some safety precautions.

1. The Rope Body Harness

The fundamental rope body harness is one of the first skills you learn when learning how to bondage and bind someone. A basic body harness is necessary for almost all tying techniques because it serves as an anchor or stabilizer for additional knotwork. Although the one in the picture is very sophisticated, you can get more fancy with your body harness!

About ten to fifteen meters of rope should be looped, tied, or crossed over your or their torso, shoulders, neck, or waist to create a simple body harness. Leg, thigh, and crotch knots are an additional option, but they are not required. Remember to ensure this core harness is secure because it will support other constraint knots. Although it can be readily adjusted to do so, the rope harness typically does not limit the limbs.

If you need more confidence in creating your own, you may always buy a pre-assembled body harness restraint system to make things easy for both of you.

You can start your rope bondage company when you have your harness in place. When you are first learning how to tie bondage with your partner, you should know how to tie a few superficial knots. Let’s have a good time, shall we?

2. Single-Column Tie

The single-column tie, frequently used to complete a harness, uses a single limb as the knot’s attachment point. The primary distinction when beginning with a basic knot is that, rather than dangling loosely, the knot’s ends are doubled back and fastened in the tie. This enhances the sensual appearance of bondage, particularly for bondage that is primarily decorative.

3. Double-Column Tie

A double-column tie joins two limbs. It should not be used to attach more than one rope because it only needs one. This could entail tying the legs, arms, or one arm to the other. However, most positions and techniques avoid binding the legs together because that can make your bedroom activities less enjoyable.

4. Overhand Knot

This knot is simple. Due to its tremendous security and difficulty in undoing in an emergency, many bondage enthusiasts attempt to avoid this knot. The overhand knot is the easiest to begin with, but if you are practising bondage with a patient and willing partner who desires to be held firmly.

5. Double Overhand Knot

Like an overhand knot, the double-overhand knot starts with one end threaded into the loop twice before the rope is tightened. A more secure knot that is much more difficult to untie is produced when the rope is pulled. To make sure your partner is held up securely during bondage sex positions, you might want to think about using this knot when binding them to furniture or a post.

6. Square Knot

Two overhand knots are tied together to create a square knot, sometimes called a reef knot. The idea that the square knot is only used to join two lengths of rope is among the most widespread misconceptions. In reality, two ends of a single rope are used. It isn’t as strong as other knots on this list, but it can be undone more readily and is usually adequate for bondage.

7. Clove Hitch

This knot is especially helpful if you need to quickly reposition the rope. You can loosen the rope by feeding some extra rope into one end or the other after looping two half-hitches over the same anchoring post, typically your partner’s torso or limb.

You can shift the knot higher or lower on the limb or body or loosen the rope enough to let your partner escape completely. Always ensure your partner is comfortable and that your knots aren’t obstructing circulation.

8. Munter Hitch

Like the clove hitch, the Munter hitch is also an adjustable knot. Nonetheless, climbers who require it to ascend mountains frequently use it because it is still a firm knot. Although we know the hill you will be climbing is more minor, this knot may still be helpful.

9. Figure-Eight Knot

Though a little simpler to untie, a figure-eight knot is comparable to an overhand knot. Consider employing a figure-of-eight knot if you bind your partner and would prefer to untie them more quickly after everything is finished.

10. Larkshead Knot

Because it uses two half-hitches, the larkshead knot is highly similar to the clove hitch. Whereas the half-hitches in a larkshead knot travel in opposite directions, those in a clove hitch travel in the same direction.

More Knotty Moves

By now, your head is likely twisted into something that looks like a Double Overhand because we’ve gone over all kinds of knots. Let’s end the knots and examine several ways to appreciate your rope, whether or not it has intricate knots.

Crotch Rope

The crotch rope, called Matanawa in the Japanese bondage art of Shibari, is frequently placed between the labia’s lips to apply pressure and friction to the clitoris. The rope is often connected to the waist harness and coils up the back of the person being tied, though there are variations used on penises.

However, the wrists can also be attached to the rope and bound in the back or front of the torso. When a person is bound and allowed to move around, the rope can provide their clitoris and anus some exquisite stimulation as their legs move.

Box Tie

“box tie” describes an upper-body tie in which the person’s arms are secured against their torso and folded behind their back. When someone is properly tied in a box tie, they should be unable to move their hands or arms. For a full-body bondage experience, lower-body ties can be attached to the box tie, which restrains the arms.

Breast Bondage

Breast bondage is the term for techniques used to bind the breasts. Breast bondage emphasizes the decorative parts because there is nothing to physically restrain, whereas many other kinds of bondage are meant to restrict movement. Many people find pleasure in the sexual beauty of thin ropes wrapping around and between the breasts, even if the tied person is theoretically still able to move around correctly.

Tips for Tying Bondage Rope

Before you begin using the precise knots and techniques listed above, a few words of caution. Bondage is generally safe when practised correctly. However, there are a few things you should pay attention to, as with any sexy endeavour. Communication is essential in bondage play. Pay close attention to your companion at all times. Maintain a safe signal or word that implies STOP at all times.

You should frequently check in with your partner while rope playing to ensure their circulation isn’t being hampered and they can breathe regularly, mainly if the neck is involved. Stop and untie them immediately if they appear numb, swollen, or discoloured. There are no exceptions.

Use knots or rope made of soft materials, such as silicone, silk, or polyester, if you’re starting. In addition to being usually more accessible for both partners to work with, these kinds of rope are far less prone to chafe or irritate skin. Another option is to perform rope bondage over thin apparel, such as a bodysuit or leggings. If you would instead not use the rope, you can alternatively learn how to utilize bondage tape.
