History
One popular form of rope bondage technique derives from the erotic Japanese bondage art
form of shibari, which was in turn developed from the now-defunct Japanese military restraint
technique of hojōjutsu.[2][3] An important part of rope bondage is the rope dress, which is not
of itself a form of restraint, but may be used either by itself as an adornment, or as a basis for
restraining bondage.[4] Rope used in erotic
bondage is usually soft to
avoid chafing the skin, and
Materials easy to twist and straighten

Bondage ropes used come in a variety of materials and length. Japanese bondage
traditionally uses natural fibers such as hemp and jute which are cut to
approximately 25 foot lengths. Western-style bondage typically uses longer ropes
that span a wider variety of materials.

Ropes (Typically of a nylon or cotton variety)

Household Furniture
[5]
These are just a few of the tools used in western-style bondage.

Rope can be used for keeping a

Technique subject fully secured.

Spread Eagle
A four post bed is commonly used to achieve this position with the arms and legs restrained at the ankles and wrists.

Chair Tied
The subject is placed in a chair. Wrists can be bound to arm rests on the chair or
bound behind the subject's back and behind the back rest. The subject's ankles can be
tied to the legs of the chair. Further ropes can be used to keep the subject fully
secure.

Standing at the Cross

The St. Andrew's Cross is shaped like that of the letter 'X'. The points of each
section act as your anchor points restraining the arms and legs.
A playful, less restrictive form of rope
bondage is a common magic trick at
Hog-Tied cabaret performances

The subject is restrained at the wrists and ankles with all four joints converging
together while the subject rests on either their back or stomach (traditionally).
