while I adore beautiful bondage and greatly admire those who create it, for me the method of restraint needs to be quick. I like having my sub restrained FAST. Not only because of the mindset it evokes but because then its time to move on to the really fun part of play
I agree. Rope is beautiful, but it's basically a scene in itself. For me, bondage is usually means to an end. Relatively quick and non-distracting, then we add another form of play.
