Jay Wiseman talks about different ways to escape rope bondage in his book. If you ever find yourself wanting to be a playful rope bottom (or in a bet over who chooses dinner if you can escape your consensual bondage!), these tips may help:

Clenching the fists: Clenching your firsts puts the tendons in the wrist under tension which makes your wrist slightly larger. When unclenched, it will create a slight amount of slack.

Waiting for the ropes to stretch: All non-metal materials used for bondage will stretch at least a little bit. Over time, if the material is under pressure, it will develop a little bit of looseness.

Get sweaty: When your body is sweaty, the more slippery rope will become. Use your body's warmth to your advantage!

"Work" the rope: Any rope where there is a slight bit of give can be "worked" by moving around in it to create slack or making the ropes move to a more advantageous place so you can escape.

To find more sex facts like this, check out Jay Wiseman's Erotic Bondage Handbook, sold on EdenFantasys, which is the book where this sex fact came from.

Have you and your partner ever experimented with consensual bondage? Any fun stories to tell?

We are just starting to do some experimenting with rope play.
So far, it's been fun for me, and yes, I can get out of pretty much anything he's tried ...
And, no, I don't have any fun stories to tell.
Yet.

We have an under the bed restraint system, but something about using rope seems so primitive and natural. I'd like to try it.

We've played around with it, and it is fun. Nothing elaborate like they do on Kink, but it works

I love being tied up I don't usually try to escape though.

Slipping ropes can be fun, but our house rules is that whoever slips it has to tidy up. After wriggling out of a harness and then having to painstakingly unknot and coil 50ft of rope, I think it through more. It's a lot more annoying to undo when it isn't on someone.

I've only used rope a couple times. I'm not a huge fan of it, really It's a little too time consuming for me, I prefer cuffs and chains

Not really into bondage, but when I was little, I used to be interested in escape artists, so I already knew these tips!

I haven't done any rope play yet, but I'm looking forward to trying it out soon. I'm not really a sneaky submissive who tries to escape, more the kind who does what they're told. I'm not interested in escaping. Not when I get rewarded so nicely for staying.

We've dabbled a bit in rope bondage and used the Basic Wrap more than a few times. No interesting stories to tell unfortunately.

Never tried yet, but I've been looking into the basics of shibari, specially since some of those are more decorative than functional for restraining purposes.

We done scarves and velcro bondage but not rope yet. We may eventually in the future.

I have experimented with rope with my partners.

We use rope a lot. We've even tried some shibari and breast bondage. Both of us are fairly skilled in rope bondage he more so than I. But it is enjoyable and you have to make sure you have the right kind of rope. Practice makes perfect.

Just have to remember to exercise caution and ask the bound on how they feel. Tingling or coldness of limbs is not really a good thing.

I have, but not my current partner. I've never tried to escape though!

These are awesome tips! I do love escaping bondage with my partner because it makes him "play" angry, and this just adds to the experience.

I love rope bondage. In fact, we keep some rope tied to the headboard for easy access and quick tying. I do enjoy escaping, too. When I sub, I'm not always very well-behaved

rope is fun. We use a rope under the bed restraint system cause we have no headboard.

We have used bondage many times, though we have never used rope.

n_n With a past partner of mine, we loved throwing in some rope bondage. One of the fun parts of it was testing his skills, and trying to wriggle out of restraints. n_n That way, he could up his game and figure out how to tie the rope so I was less likely to free myself.

I'm still green, but my partner and I have experimented. Thus far, I can't do anything fancy, but I can tie a knot that won't slip. I'll be practicing a good deal more in the future; I hope to learn how to create rope harnesses he can wear under his clothes.

I usually can't escape. He notices things like clenching my fist and if I purposely escape I have to pay the price...not as fun as you might think. =+/ orgasm denial, a spanking that isn't pleasant, etc...
