I have decided to start my own self tie rope challenge. I have self tied for about 2 years, have had a rigger and a few friends give me different experiences aswell. I ABSOLUTELY ADORE ROPE. But majority of the time I find it difficult to find time or Riggers in my area so I resort to self tieing (which I still love the creativity in doing this).
I want to do this for myself as I have found myself doing lots of spiritual and mental growth but I also wish to challenge my skills and build upon them. To add a physical element and keep in touch with my submissive side. Hence why I thought going back to my first orginal love of rope was a good place to ground myself.
And hey it might be fun to post the challenges here for anyone who might wish to join me 😁
🚨🚨🚨 SAFETY WARNING contrary to what some people beleive rope has the potential for harm. If you place ropes on pressure points/nerves you can cause serious perminant damage. For this reason if you decide to join along please either make sure that someone is present with you and/or have scissors to cut rope in case of emergency. Start off just practicing the ties without too much tightness or tension on the rope until you feel more secure in your abilities.
Now that is out of the way what is the plan you might ask.... WELL lol easiest way to start I feel is to move up the body. I will set 10 areas or fun activities and cycle through them 3 times to make 30 ties. The idea is to do a solid (no breaks) 30 days of being in rope. To make time for it and enjoy it. Turn off the tv, grab some rope and join me. Would love to see other peoples images and what you come up with. Each day I will post my picture and it is up to you to either try replicate what I have done or find something else that you want to try. Building our abilities with each cycle.
The list is
1. Feet
2. Single leg
3. Double leg
4. Hip harness
5. Corset
6. Chest harness
7. Arm
8. Torso/ full body
9. Add a prop (skewers, chop sticks, flowers, wands, ect)
10. Become an object (either by shape alone or tying to an object to become one).
Cycle back through 2 more times finding different ties each time. And having fun.
YouTube has many follow along tutorials, you will also find step by step guides on Pinterest and Fetlife if you are on there
Oh and I'm self tieing out of necessity if you want to play along with a partner thats completely fine.
Ready Set Tie!!!!!
