For some riggers, just tying someone up in intricate bondage can be sexually satisfying. Other times, once the rope bottom is tied up, more sexual play will commence.
Rope bondage is a specialized kink that takes a considerable amount of time to learn and perfect. Some riggers prefer simple rope bondage to tie a bound partner up in bed or while standing.
Riggers can also perfect complex patterns and knots, such as in shibari, that move a bound person’s body into unnatural positions that may or may not be entirely comfortable for that person.
Some riggers practice suspension, where they bind their partners and then raise them into the air and leave them bound and hanging by the rope.
More About Riggers
Becoming a rigger is not something one does on a whim. Rope bondage is a complex art that can take years to master. Even if you have an overwhelming desire to tie your partner up, you must learn about different types of rope, body mechanics, and the potential risks associated with rope bondage. As the rigger, you have a specific amount of control over your rope bondage scenes, so it is your responsibility to communicate, listen, and respond, sometimes very quickly.
When it comes to rope, all riggers will have their favorite materials. A rope can be made from various materials, including cotton, polypropylene, nylon, hemp, and jute. Different ropes have pros and cons, depending on what type of tying you want to do with them. You should try different types before settling on your favorite. Riggers should check that their ropes are always in good shape before starting a scene, particularly one that involves suspension.
