How to get started in rope play?

[le****]

I've done plenty of spanking, but I want to get more into rope play. Where's a good place to start?

Exciting times ahead!!! There's many fabulous riggers and trainee riggers here who are inspirational!!! I'm also inspired to start and YouTube will be my friend and I look forward to others responses.... Good luck on your journey

Have a look for a local rope jam , get some books ,, you tube and if your lucky you might meet someone willing to teach you

From my perspective it will depend on what kind of experience you have had with ropes in the past. 

I've had a lot of experience with rock climbing, sailing, and tieing down items for transport so for me I have a lot of experience using ropes before entering the bdsm scene. 

I suggest learning a couple of simple knots from a climbing book or sailing book. Get used to dealing with ropes on inanimate objects first. And have fun!

Do your homework before you even attempt any rigging .there's plenty of info on where nerves are and areas to avoid .get cotton rope to begin with as it's pretty soft .get 2 sets of medical shears .and keep them visible .you tube has a great source of tutorials I'd start with basic single column ties .simple chest harnesses non restrictive ties then work up

That is fantastic advice!

There are a lot of helpful riggers on FLife. I know someone running an online class if that would be of interest - can recommend them.

There are a ton of videos on YouTube, also like many have said there are plenty of riggers on here and FL including my Sir, who himself is a rigger he has had experience with working with boats etc so he already had that experience with rope. But there are also some really good books out there too there is one called, Shibari You Can Use: Japanese Rope Bondage and Erotic Macramé which you can find on Amazon, it has some really good ties for beginners me and my Sir highly recommend it. 😁

He is amazing at it. I'm very lucky as I'd never tried rope before Sir but now I am 100% rope bunny, but if you're on FL have a look he also has some pics on here too. How is your sir getting on?
