Excellent article maddie. Good safety points, this stuff can be very dangerous- particularly when you do it by yourself.
Most of my life I've been interested in being tied up, it's only in the last few years I lost interest in that to the point where it doesn't appeal at all.
Tying up a pretty girl though....heck yeah I like the thought of that!
Rope bras are fun things- my wife still talks about that sometimes...
I'd like to add that leather cuffs are excellent restraints. They don't leave the marks that ropes do. A friend I spoke to last night who was in a hanging hogtie for the first time said 'you should see the rope marks' Pity she was so tired or I would have asked to...
To be tied up & at the mercy of someone who can (& usually does) whisper evil things in your ear, tease you & more, is a truly wonderful experience.
If you trust the person with your life (yes that's right...) you can have an experience without equal.
