Two Knotty Boys Showing You the Ropes, is a basic knot tying manual that offers everything you need to know to begin exploring the beautiful art of rope bondage. My husband and I are reading this book together; he is experienced with ropes and knots for more mundane uses, and I have no rope experience. Don't worry if you weren't a Boy Scout, the clear step by step pictures offered by Two Knotty Boys will move you along and teach several forms of basic knot tying technique. Once you have the basics down pat, it moves you along in practice to offer some stunning project designs.

While practicing the basic knots, my husband had me print off copies of a couple book pages. The clear pictures are subtle and classic, allowing the knot instructions to be left out in the open without any hint of kink or bondage. For us this means that when Dad is practicing tying knots with a sheet of paper, the kids think camping, not Mom. One nice thing about the project offerings is that there are decorative pieces you can accomplish. This is especially good for beginners because if one of the partners is a little unsure about being tied up, you can start with decorative pieces that simply look beautiful but don't restrict movement. The decorative elements are equally as good for riggers who are well versed with bondage ties but looking for more some elements of pizazz to add to their work for show.

Showing You the Ropes not only covers knots but discusses several important other factors as well, such as safety and equipment choices. The dos and don'ts of rope bondage are covered in the very first chapter of this book, stressing the importance of safe, sane, and consensual play. Hundreds of tasteful black and white pictures illustrate how to knot, where to knot, and give an overall view of the projects. The Knotty Boys simply demystify beautiful, basic, rope bondage structures so that you can safely shape your skills while adding a little spice in the bedroom.

Knots included in the book are:

Square Knot, Bow Tie Knot, Double Slip Knot, Fisherman's Knot, Double Coin Knot, Trinity Knot, Butterfly Loop, Cross Knot, Good Luck Knot, Box Knot, Snake Weave, Cording Rope Ends and Chain Braiding.
