Foundations of Rope Bondage

Foundations of Rope Bondage is the ultimate beginner-friendly guide for anyone curious about exploring rope play through safe, informed, and beautifully detailed instruction. Written by Lazarus Redmayne, Kajira Blue, and TheDuchy, Foundations of Rope Bondage offers a welcoming introduction to rope fundamentals across 427 engaging paperback pages. Designed for absolute beginners as well as those looking to strengthen their basics, this comprehensive book provides clear, jargon-free explanations and step-by-step photographs that make learning easy, accessible, and confidence-building.

The authors begin by teaching the essentials of rope itself—its structure, characteristics, and handling—before moving into four core beginner knots that form the backbone of countless ties. With these fundamentals, Foundations of Rope Bondage guides readers through 16 essential techniques, breaking down each knot, harness, or tie into simple, repeatable steps. From Lark’s Head Single Columns to beginner chest and hip harnesses, readers gain the knowledge needed to build a solid foundation for future rope exploration.

What truly sets this book apart is its emphasis on consent, communication, medical awareness, and safety. Two full chapters are dedicated to explaining physical risks, nerve safety, negotiation, and best practices—ensuring that readers understand how to tie responsibly and respectfully.

Every instructional photo features models covered in white suits and Lazarus’s signature blue gloves, providing clean visual clarity that focuses entirely on technique. Educational rather than erotic, this book is ideal for curious couples, creative hobbyists, and anyone eager to explore rope as a skill-based art form.

Beautiful, detailed, and accessible, Foundations of Rope Bondage gives you everything you need to begin your journey into rope with confidence, creativity, and care.
