"Have just started to practice the art and am looking for some advice, also looking for people to try my rope skills out on. " ya not going to try them out on me - just thought id say, use a lot of rope! It doesnt generally cut circulation off if you do. There are a lot of positions either to emphasise restriction or aid play so just go with trial and error. Dont throw all the kitchen sink into it - rope play is about build up, tease and perparation. eg. a vibe and blindfold out of ropes is intense - with them its 10x moreso  | |||

"be aware of the amount of time in rope too. An hour in rope unless you are re positioning thoughout can be quite long. Chain is also good, and a lot quicker to repositon/restrain. As can the age old tool - clingfilm. Chains are good though rope prep and the advantage of thinking how youre going to treat them once done is wicked I think "I can say I don't mind being in rope for long periods of time  | |||

"If you look online there are Workshops all over the Country. I've been a rope bunny a few times and enjoyed it everytime x " This.
Plus at these events everyone we've met so far is very keen to share their knowledge and skills. I'm new to this and have only very basic knowledge but we were at an event on Saturday afternoon and after initially being a little self-conscious, nobody cared about my lack of expertise and just wanted to offer advice. | |||

"mmm bu those hemps are for seasoned professionals .. metres, and metres and lots of practices "true - there's a rope for every job, and you always know after a while which one suits best. Good to practice on other materials to get the feel for 'em. Better rope than tape and ty-wraps for sure. Wolf

Our local club has a fet night and there's a stall there with various stuff for sale and he had some ropes will check what they are at the next one. One of my past jobs was rope related so a I've already got a bit of know how for knots. | |||

"I have metres and metres of (prestretched) 7mm nylon (LSK), also have on the way lots of metres of pure cotton rope at 6mm. If i get heavily into it i'll think about buying the expensive silk rope but from what i have heard and read the cotton will be just fine. " my faves the cotton to be honest

What they said!
But I'd just say don't bother with the semantics of what style, rope often finds its own path anyway, just enjoy experimenting! | |||

Also man made fibre rope that has no friction would be little use in traditional shibari as there are very few knots and is more reliant on cinches which utilise the abrasive properties of the rope to grip to itself under tension. | |||

Dear god I hope I never meet you on the 'scene' because believe you me, you've had less of a mouthful because I've had to type it"lol Whether you think you have a point. Think you have made a point. Or are looking to gain some kind of kudos on the forum with that blurb out of nowhere. I can tell you now, in no uncertain terms. You won't make me either look a fool OR win any any argument against me. I can tell you with up most certainty, I am the easiest going and most relaxed guy you are definitely not going to meet. To think you can somehow pick me out of a scene or even see me on it and judge me as you have, you are wildly deluded. My scene? Stands on 18 years of swinging/meeting people, so if our paths haven't crossed yet, they aren't going to in the future. You see, I am utterly easy going, but your churlish remarks have me only a little annoyed but mostly disappointed that YOU, somehow are able to 'see through' general advice, yet offer non in its place but in the same vein make me out to be some kind of deluded preacher. There is nothing apart from common sense in my previous posts. I am wondering how you think you can get away with making remarks like that and not expect some kind of come back? It is plain and simple advice to say, get lots of rope, feel it first and don't throw in everything at once. For you to say, jump in and try everything, if you don't try it your not going to like it ... Yeah ok so....... Stick a rope around her neck, tie her up as tight as physically possible and leave her alone for a few hours to bed in and enjoy the smiles??? Not going to happen ... In your 'you've got to try it and find out what suits post' is just irresponsible and will ultimately either put someone off trying things (as they will have rushed into it), or have them believe they are more experienced than they actually are, potentially putting themselves into the hands of someone who thinks they are, only to find out their kink is only light. There is DISTINCT danger with rope play, something that I didn't go onto until your untimely post. There was nothing disparaging in my previous, but for you attempt to belittle my post that were offering sound advice makes you look, just the closet you are talking about. Pfff. Enjoy your solitude.  | |||

"Bound-to-please.co.uk are good for rope, they'll cut to custom lengths and colour code whipped ends for identifying lengths. " They are very good we have used them, they have eBay store also. | |||

"Just starting a monthly course for begineers and advanced alike, at Xtasia. Added a thread in Meets and Events. Please search for that if in the Midlands area...all welcome along" Cannot find it or am I too quick for you as my friend would be interested depending on which weekend it is | |||
