The Erotic Crotchrope
We start with the most basic of ties, the crotch rope. Often one of the primary layers, time spent gaining confidence in this tie is well spent.
The crotchrope is a great option for one of the first, or primary layers of rope. Contributing to it's erotic power is the fact that it's emphasis is directly on the genitals, and secondary layers of rope tied off to the crotchrope only intensify an already stimulating situation.
Take care and practice in the placement of any built up knots and in adjusting the tension of the crotchrope. It's easy to intensify loose fitting bondage, but very difficult to adjust an over tight binding once subsequent layers are in place.
Shiatsu
The concept of building up knots to stimulate pressure points on the anatomy is derived from shiatsu, an eastern massage technique. The skilled individual uses his knowledge of massage and pressure points to get those thick knots in just the right places.
The pressure of built up knots against the vagina, anus, or base of the scrotum contributes to the power of the crotchrope, but a misplaced or creeping knot against the pubic bone or tailbone can be frustrating and abrading in a not so erotic way.
Also worth mention is that pressure points along the spine actually lie to the side of the spinal column. If your intent is to stimulate these points, or if your subject may end up lying on her back, it's a good idea to place the knot work against the narrow strip of tissue that runs along either side of the spine. Knots that dig directly into the spine can be dangerous, and can detract from the focus of the scene.
Shinju
Once the crotch rope and its variations are in hand, we continue in a second session with breast and torso binding, and offer a few more options.
Shinju, literally translated as 'pearls', is an important primary layer. Properly applied, the torso wraps of the shinju present a wide range of possibilities, from sensually sensitizing the breasts and nipples through vascular restriction, to providing a stable harness from which to move to a full suspension*.
The ropes lie over the rib cage and shoulders, lifting and pinching the breasts. The tie is held in place and intensified with cinching ties to the sternum area and / or sides.
This tie need not be overly tight to be effective! As with the crotchrope, the tension of this layer is best adjusted with cinches rather than trying to snug it down tightly from the start. Of note is that this tie can severely restrict the rib cage and the breathing pattern of the subject. Care should be taken to ensure a safe, comfortable setting, and watch for signs of panic or distress. As with all bondage, be sure to inquire about any respiratory or other conditions and keep inhalers and such at arms reach.
