As with all BDSM bondage, you must ensure that the bottom is fully informed and enthusiastically consenting to this form of restraint. It’s also important to keep scissors close by in case of emergency and make sure a safeword is established.
These knots are very aesthetically pleasing and can be used for both restraint and pleasure. They are particularly good for chest bondage.
Reel Knot
This tying technique is great for restraint and can be used to tie up the bottom or keep them in place for play. It is best suited to short ropes, and can be a bit difficult for beginners. It can be a fun way to play with a partner and is an excellent addition to any sexual experience.
To tie a reel knot, you will need to have the right equipment. You will need a rope with a medium thickness and a good length, and you should also have the proper tools. You will need a pair of scissors to cut the rope if it gets too tight, and you should also have a lubricant handy in case the knot feels uncomfortable or painful for the bottom.
The first step is to get a hold of the bight, which is the loop that is made when two ends cross each other. Then, you will need to wrap the tail around the bight and hold it with your index finger and middle finger. After that, you will need to put the dangling end through the loop and feed it to the standing end. This will create a double half-hitch knot. Finally, you will need to pull on the dangling tail and the taught length to make it secure.
Lark’s Head Knot
The Lark’s Head Knot is a variation on the Simple Loop knot, and one of the most useful knots to know for bdsm. It’s especially helpful when you need to attach a line that goes from a kite in the air to a reel or sand bag anchor on the ground. It holds up to a lot of tension, yet is easy to remove when the line gets tight.
Start by forming a bight in the rope, and then pass it through the ring from underneath. Grab both standing parts of the strands and pull them through the bight, pulling down on the bight to make a crease at the top of the knot.
When you’re done, it should look like this. This is another knot that’s used frequently in macrame, especially when attaching loop-ended lanyards to handheld electronic equipment. It’s a bit harder to undo than the locking overhand knot, but it’s still pretty straightforward.
This is a great knot to use in bondage situations, as it’s a secure way to restrain the bottom while giving the top some pleasure with the way the cords are tied together. You can use it to tie a cuff around the wrists or ankles, for example, but always remember that wrist joints are fragile, and you should only fasten them with a knot that won’t put too much pressure on them.
Single Column Knot
BDSM knots are a key part of many rope bondage ties and can add a lot of depth to a session. However, it is important to remember that if these knots are not tied properly, they can cut off circulation or cause discomfort for the bottom. As with all ties, you should always leave a finger or two of room between the rope and the skin to prevent this from happening. In addition, be sure to use a safeword and always have scissors or a knife close in case of emergency.
The single column knot is a basic technique that can be used to tie up the wrists, arms, legs, and even the torso. It is a great first step in most rope bondage ties and provides endless possibilities for decoration, restraining, caressing, or seducing.
If you are new to this, it is best to start with shorter ropes because they will be easier to handle and less likely to tangle. Longer ropes can be frustrating for the person tying and can cause boredom for the bottom. They can also lead to accidents if they aren’t handled carefully.
If you want to get more creative, try a Lark’s head/half hitch combo, which creates an attractive and flat knot that won’t collapse and is easy to untie. It’s also a great way to restrain the bottom without putting too much pressure on their arms or shoulders.
Double Column Knot
The Double Column Knot is a great BDSM knot to use for chest bondage, as it can be tied tightly around the breasts to heighten sensitivity and pleasure. It can also be used to secure a bottom in the frog position, as it will prevent them from moving their legs and make it impossible for them to escape.
It’s important to practice the single and double column ties over and over again, using chair legs or even your own wrists until you can tie them without thinking. This will help you get a feel for how the ties work, which will be useful when it comes time to try them out with your kink play partner. Always be sure to leave a few fingers’ worth of space between the rope and your skin, as too much tension can cut off circulation.
If you’re new to this kind of kink, it might be best to start out with the Lark’s Head/Half Hitch combo, as this is a fairly easy shibari tie to master. However, this knot is not the ideal choice for spread eagle positions as it won’t collapse down and can easily slip out of your partner’s hands. If you do decide to go for this knot, it’s important that you and your kink play partner establish a safeword or some other method for getting out of the ties quickly in case of an emergency.
