A good sailing hand book will teach you lots of knots

There's a channel called Bondage Tuition on YT, dunno if you've come across that? It's run by probably the most well known name in rope here in the UK.

Failing that I'd absolutely recommend any rope events near you. For me at least there's no better way to learn than by doing it, and having knowledgeable people there to guide you is absolutely invaluable.

You could try going to classes in Anatomie studio. I have never been there but I know of some experts who learned from there.

There's plenty of people talking about it in the forums: so why not search the forums and have a look at what others have done? Check out there pics and take it from there.

It's all well and good looking at photos, but I'm looking for the steps to get there. I wish I could throw rope at myself, click my fingers and it be tied correctly and safely

thanks though.

Message the pic owners directly and politely ask who did it and what clubs hold bondage rope nights, BDSM clubs would be a good start, word of mouth is key here.

Taken from another post to which I contributed.

Books

Most have a sections on safety and choice or rope.

Two of those books were written by the Knotty Boys,. One is "Showing You The Ropes". The books are not my thing but people like them and are worth checkling if you like pretty rope. Unfortunately YouTube has removed most of their videos.

Although I am into Japanese style rope, rope is about fun and can be about sexy times. To that end I like Chantra Rose's "Bondage for Sex. You can find her in action online on porn sites in her domination of women videos "Chanta's Bitches"( not for the fainthearted).

Other books I would mention are:

Lee Harrington's "Shibari You Can Use"

Midori's "The Seductive Art Japanese Bondage"

Lord Morpheus' "Bondage Basics'

Pete Riggs *Rope Bondage The Smart Way"

Jay Wiseman "Basic Ripe Bondage"

If tying men is your thing I would recommend

,Stephen Niederwieser's "Tie Me Up!

For rope bottoms:

Evie Vanes "Better Bondage Every Body"

Clover's guide for rope bottoms and rope models

If you want a good holistic book in bondage and D/S and don't mind a long read, Mistress Couple's "Ultimate Guide to Bondage" would be worth a look.

If you want videos the makers of rope deGiotta, and also Twisted Monk used to separately have videos on Vimeo and YouTube. There is also The Duchy.

Crash Restraint has a good syllabus but a number of the links are dead.

I recommend The Rope Podcast.

In addition to the previous post: Esinem has online tutorials. as has Anatomie has videos, as has bondagetuition on YouTube.Ebi Mcknotty is worth looking up.

Zensual has covered it perfextly. The only other youtube channel I would suggest is Rory’s Brainworks.

The best thing you can do in all honesty is find a local peer rope, or rope workshop and get to some classes. You get the added benefit of networking with like minded folk.

There is a rope meet advertised on here but it's midlands so don't know if that's good for you? I'm going to try to do a few self ties. I miss rope and don't have anyone to tie me atm. It feels wonderful - I hope you enjoy!

I fully support attending peer rope and workshops, where they are available. The other option, if finances permit, is one to one teaching.

Though a lot of these have moved to online, I’m sure some have gone back to normal.

I'd also recommend going to a workshop if you can. I've been a rope bunny a few times in the past, and I learnt a lot just watching and being tied. And I was mesmerised watching the teacher, he had the most fluid and sensual technique that was highly erotic.
