Today I have just been thinking is Rope Bunny a role?
I love doing rope. I love going on the journey of connection I get from setting time aside to do rope whether it be with myself or another. There are times to do different kinds of rope: for study rope, to practicing, to stretching for rope, to engaging with new ways of doing rope and then there is something about doing a scene with rope.
A scene with rope for me is focused on the rope. First I love picking the space I will do rope. Then attire for rope whether it be something or nothing. Next comes whether done in private or public. After this I love picking the music or having the music selected that the rope will be done to. The music speaks of the type of rope that will be done. I can do floor rope, suspension rope, self suspension rope, loose rope, tight rope, weaved rope, friction rope, stretching rope, challenging rope and others that I do not have names for. I began my journey with this scene from the moment it is decided to partake of rope. Music playing is my headspace shifts to being focused on the rope. Next comes the flow of where I began placing the rope on my body or where someone else does, what I love about this part is the stilling of my mind and thoughts. It just becomes about the rope and how it feels. Then there is a pause where I enjoy just being in the rope. I may have not finished the rope but I take a moment to be present in the rope and just feel physically, mentally, and emotionally. After this quite moment I continue placing rope or having it placed on me, when rope is done being placed it is not the end for me. This moment becomes a place of settling in and just being. Then at some point it is time for the rope to be removed and this is also part of the journey as I become still and present to the feeling of my physical body as rope is removed. When all the rope is off I just enjoy the being where I am at and it is still not the end for me. My scene journey ends when I can feel myself at peace.
Describing this makes me wonder how being a rope bunny can be a role like being a Dominate or Submissive. I am not sure but I know that I crave rope. With all the lost and failings I feel when I do rope none of that matters, I just get to be in the present moment that is me. I did not realizes until righting this that rope is a scene for me not just a means to bind be to get to something else. I want to explore with rope whether on my one or with others. I have not realized the signifiants of rope for me, the beauty it holds.
The simplicity that is rope.
