🪢 All tied up today 🪢

[Thom_the_gleeman]

Thom,

Welcome, and thank you so much for sharing. I (and I’m sure others) would love to see your tied up pics from the past. Privacy is a pretty tough one, but you would be surprised about the things you can hide your rope under *wink wink*
I hope you find some of that “you” time and can share the outcomes here.
Do you still have your rope? If not, there’s lots of cheap starter ideas I can share.

Moochie

Thank you for your very kind words, I took a look at that old thread today and came to the conclusion that, though I am not ashamed of what's on there, absolutely nothing qualifies as ropework, not even clumsy ropework, I am sure I had more, but I guess at some point I deleted some stuff...
Anyways I would love some starter ideas
I am still a bit conflicted if I am going to revive the old thread, or start a newone alltogether, though I guess that is a discusion for another platform.

Love,

Thom

The handcuff knot i like is based on an old knot used to hobble horses so they can't bolt. I don't think that is done anymore. The knot is related tot he Prusik and Klemheist knots used by climbers or ascend / descend a standing rope (belaying or abseiling).

I took this series of pics of a simplified version of the handcuff knot for the ABC thread a while back (the first "K is for Knot).

First, you need rope. This is heavy cotton braid. I would use a thinner cord for my "in person" ties (10mm / 3/8" cord either braided or twisted mostly in nylon or silk)

Take three or four round turns (that's all the way around) around your fingers

You can use a couple more, if the cord is very slippery (this works on friction). It will start to get unwieldy around nine or ten round turns. Take a bight on one of the free ends (a bight is just a 180° bend in the cord)

Pass the bight through the round turns until it comes out the other side

Repeat that with a bight on the other free (referred to by knotting nerds as a "bitter" end) end of the cord

Dress the knot (carefully pull it part-way tight, ensuring that there are no unwanted twists or "hockles" where the rope twists back on itself and forms a small loop.

You can see that five or six round turns would work well

Apply the knot to the wrists

If you pull on the two ends, the knot will tighten.

If the person being tied (the subject for lack of a better word) tries to pull the wrists apart, the knot will not come loose.to remove, grab the middle and squeeze slightly to open up the interior of the knot and allow movement. If you anchor the free ends by say tying them around the waist, knotting it behind, the knot cannot be untied by the subject at all. It could also be anchored by tying a pair of half-hitches around the loop on either side.

That is really cool. Do you do self tying or tie someone else?

 

[hotoldrguy]

bumping cuz I think this is a cool thread and would like to learn more

This is so wonderful! Thank you for sharing this with us, TAN.

In my time, I have found that one of the simplest ties to do and get some visualimpact from is the Hishi (diamond) karada.

HERE is a YouTube video of how to do one.

And this is a picture tutorial ^^^

 

[Moochienanu]

Karada!

 

[Thom_the_gleeman]

First things first what a wonderfully sensual picture! It is truly artfull! I also love the tutorial picture, I can only hope this is from a series of tutorial pictures like it!

Love,

Thom

Great pic as always Moochie. Such precision!

The great thing about a karada is you can keep one pre-tied (the middle part, step 2 in the cartoon) and slip it over your subject's head and complete it quickly. That is especially important if you have taken the time to tie a "happy knot" that is positioned just above, on or below the clitoris (find out her preference) or above and below the base of the penis (yes, I have tried one on myself, because you owe it to your playmates to ensure the tie is comfortable)

I like to tie mine with a true lovers' knot;

In the days of sail, it was said that a sailor would give his Lady Fair a true lovers knot as in the second last picture. If she gave it back the same way, he had a shot. If she tightened it as in the last pic, it was time to buy a ring. If she gave it back untied, it was time to shove off.

The knot is related to the reef knot and will lie flat on the skin.

Here is a karada I did with double coin knots. They’re a simple decorative knot which looks much more difficult than it is and adds to the complexity of a simple tie like the karada.

I did not think it would be so intricate. Wow.

Very impressive! (both the rope work, and your body!)

It was asked in another forum about chest harnesses and how to tie to keep them in place/not slip when the bottom moves.

The best advice I can give is that you should follow these basics:

• Keep it tight
• Use tensions and/or weaving to keep lines in place
• Follow a tutorial when you’re starting out - once you know the basics, you can experiment
• Start with a secure base
• Keep trying - just because one tie didn’t work doesn’t mean they all won’t

I followed THIS chest harness tutorial today, but ran out of rope (this rope is only ~25’ and this tie asks for 30’), but I still tried a new starting method with the diagonal, and it was worth it. I attached pictures of me upright and lying down in the tie to show it’s security.

Beautiful work Moochie
To me it looks like it may feel like a persons hands supporting and gripping a bit.
Also maybe a slight hug ??

I had a Friend with Benefits that tied herself up. Things got away from her and she called me using her nose. I picked her lock and rescued her. After I made her cum way to many times. Good thing she was tied up as she tried to jump out of her skin.
After I untied her and gave her a back rub and full body rub. Tucked her in and left a glass of water on her side table.

It could also be anchored by tying a pair of half-hitches around the loop on either side.

I learned this one in the army. I kinda doubt it's standard practice anymore. You'd tie it using 550 cord, then take the running ends and loop them around the wrists again. Bring those together with a square knot, secured with a pair of half-hitches, then melt the ends together for good measure.

That thing's never coming off.

I enjoy knots, but I've never gotten into them sexually.

 

[Dubinsky]

Now that I think about it, I do have some experience with self-tying. Army people do something called "Swiss seats," which you hook a carabiner onto and use for rapelling and climbing.

It ties very tight around the pelvis.

This thread'd got me thinking I should look around in the garage for my old sling-rope. I'm sure it's out there someplace.

 

[Dubinsky]

Found it!

We used to tie these all the time. It always led to great mockery; the Swiss seat makes it obvious who is endowed, and who isn’t.

If it’s more in keeping with the point of the thread, I guess I could do it without pants. Though I bet that’d be more “weird” than “sexy.”

Certainly an interesting knot. Is it like the safety harnesses for work at elevations? "If it's comfortable, you're wearing it wrong"?


If i can find some decent contrasting rope and some alone time, I will show the Prusik. It is primarily a climbing knot but it can be used to great effect in Bondage both in a cuff / shackle and to apply and release tension on a taut line, say for a spread eagle.

Hi, I’m Moochie!

I’ve been self-tying since November 2018, and usually share my ties in my own ampic thread.

But, as I wrapped my rope around for my usual self-tie this week (usually on Tuesday, because there’s a ring to it), I got to thinking that I can’t be alone in this, right? There must be other people who like to tie themselves up, tie up others, or be tied up here on lit, right?!

So here I am, asking you to join me.

Sure, I want to see your rope,
But I also want us to talk about it too.

I want us to have conversations about tying.
I want us to contribute resources (via links to the site please) for us to enjoy.
I want us to learn from and teach each other.
I want us to share our rope dreams.

Let’s get tied up together today!

Oooooh a yummy Moochie Thread!!!

Yes, it’s one of many forms of climbing harness. Before the 1950s, climbers would have tied their own.

This one saves the Army money on real harnesses. 9 feet of gold line will make a perfectly serviceable no-frills safety feature for any kind of mountaineering.

I learned Prusik climbing as well. Again, it’s cost savings. Why buy jumars when some rope will work?

 

[Dubinsky]

I have one word in response to this thread:
Why?

Why not?

Knots are interesting. They’re useful. They can be elegant. And they can look amazing.

For my part, there’s a feeling of satisfaction when you know you can rely on knots to hold you. Again, I’ve never done anything sexual with them, but plenty do.

I am so excited you found your rope and brought Swiss seats to the table! They’re actually a commonly used tie for suspension, and though I’ve not suspended myself yet (still looking for that hardpoint to call my home), I have done a couple seat variants to shake things up. Always feels really secure in the bumcrease (it’s my technical terminology).
