The History of

Rope Bondage

Rope bondage has arguably been a “thing” since the first criminal got an er-
rant boner from the feeling of rough rope binding his hands and feet together,

but rope bondage as an art form and a means of sexual expression has a much

more interesting history. In fact, it has two very distinct histories. Modern rope
bondage, as I describe it in this book, is actually a fusion of a number of different
styles from both the Eastern and Western schools of rope bondage. While you

can find riggers who still work solely in the Eastern or Western style, the type of

rope bondage that I prefer and the ties that my team and I have helped create
bring together both styles with a new modern twist, creating something truly
unique—a fusion that brings the best from both sides of the world and ushers

it into the bedroom, where it belongs! But let’s take a kinky little history trip to

better understand the evolution of how rope bondage came from criminals to
the art gallery.
