"Cheers …. Wonder if there are any practical sessions ??"

That would be great, we'd love to learn too, did you get any serious suggestions/recommendations in your inbox?

If you are in Merseyside it may be worthwhile contacting the Towhhouse to see if it is still doing peer rope learning from time to time.

There is a peer rope group in Townhouse. If you come to any of their kink nights you can see and experience rope too.

And there is a peer rope event in Manchester too which isn't that far from you.

Details are searchable on the black and red site (DM for details if you don't know where I mean OP)

You'll find local peer lead rope sessions all over the UK if you look at the events page of a website for the BDSM community.

It won't pass the filters here but it begins with f and rhymes with wet knife.

I'm going to Tangled Rope weekend workshop in Derby in June.

Youtube is great too.

Some videos are too fast to follow though. "Rory" is my preferred channel. He should be easy to find. He has dark hair and a beard.

An updated version of something I have posted a few times.

As a general rule it is best to learn from someone who is experienced. Understanding tension is important and the purpose of ties can be critical. Therefore, check if there is a peer rope near you.

If you don't want to leave the house.

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" and "More Shibsri you can use"

Midori's "The Seductive Art Japanese Bondage"

Lord Morpheus' "Bondage Basics'

Pete Riggs *Rope Bondage The Smart Way"

Jay Wiseman "Basic Rope Bondage"

Essence of Shibari by Shin Nawakiri is worth a look.

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 self suspension is your thing Shay Toxiano's "Tying & Flying"

If you want videos the makers of rope deGiotta, and also Twisted Monk used to separately have videos on Vimeo and YouTube as is Rory's Brainworks, Watts the Safe Word . Also recommended on Youtube is ChristianRed's Bondage Tuition. 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 rope 365 is worth looking up.

Many recommend Shibari Study which is a paid resource online which I have since joined and it is good. Another online resource is Shibari Acadamy.

"Miumi-U Teaches Japanese Shibari"

is a recommended book.

Other books are "Shibari" by Phillippe Boxis which is in French and English.

As is the Shibaku books 1 and 2 by Peter Wettstein, the third is not translated.

"Osez le Bondage is a pocket book by Axterdam with French and English Editions.

For German speakers Matthias Grimm has his Japanese Bondage.

There are Douglas Kent's books, but because they are out of print they are becoming stupidly expensive, and they are old school.

"Bondage' David La Greca It has a good philosophical side

If philosophy is your thing "Discovering Kinbaku' Zetsu Nawa is worth a look as is "Pdychology of BDSM & Rope Bondage" by Sin.

If history is your thing the podcast and associated material of the Kinbakunomicon by Faviola is excellent. As is the "The Beauty of Kinbaku" by Master K.

There is a documentary based in London starting at the Flying Dutchman (another site lost to us) filmed 2010 to 2014 by Bob Bentley (although now dated the scene has changes hugely) " The Pleasure of Rope' clips on YouTube.

For a different take on the history of shibari you can search for Midori's online commentary "

The History & Myths of Japanese Bondage"

Please support providers and also teachers of kink, especially rope.

Rope done badly can cause serious harm.

We went to an evening course at Anatomie Studio, which was very good. It's probably a bit far for you, but there might be something similar where you are?

Douglas Kent’s Complete Shibari Volume 1

The best book you will find for a beginner.

The main things to learn first are what NOT to do. The rest you can learn from various sources or make up as you want to (if you want to find your own style)

We are very big into rope play, it’s really rewarding and extremely pretty.
