Lately, I’ve been working on an additional project, designed to be of greater help than this site is. And it’s finally finished.
So for those of you who have been requesting a book form of what can be found on this site… you’re getting your wish!
This is Rope Bondage the Smart Way, a step by step guide to learning and applying rope bondage in BDSM.
The book is approximately 50% the best of what’s on this site, and 50% new material.
It’s going to be sold through Amazon Kindle; I’ve gone to quite a bit of effort to make sure that it is readable on Kindle and on the Kindle app, so you can also read it on computer, tablet, or phone if you like. It’s currently set for pre-order, and comes out on April 10, 2017.
The new material is geared towards improving the speed of learning for those picking up rope bondage, and then showing you how to apply that directly towards a good time with whoever you’re playing with. There’s lots and lots of detail.
Included in the new material is
– Additional ties, and examples of how to use them
– a guide to effective practice
– strategies for planning your rope bondage session
– case studies to illustrate points and serve as examples
– cheatsheets on positions and the best way to apply bondage for those
– a practical guide for making the session even sexier
– tricks and tips on inescapability
– detailed information on “drop” and aftercare
– ideas around getting good photos without having to spend a lot on equipment
And basically everything else I could think of that I thought would be useful.
I’ve also provided lots of ideas about where to look next, and other useful sources of information.
Just to be clear, this is not the end of Rope Connections as a place to find new information; this was me putting together a concentrated handbook on what I already know, in order to facilitate a better learning experience for those new to rope bondage. As I learn new things, I’m going to keep putting them up; I quite enjoy sharing what I learn with you guys, you tend to be so appreciative!
The next post is going to be on a groin tie, also known as a “Matanawa” and some very useful ideas about putting that to good use – man, it was definitely a fun (and surprising) time learning that.
That’s fantastic news and has made my day. I can’t wait to see it. Congratulations Pete
Thanks Dave! I’ve been working on it for awhile, and I’m hopeful that it will help a bunch of people out, much in the same way the website has. It’s been a lot of fun putting it together 🙂
More than happy to purchase this, both to thank you for your great blog/have an easy to use offline copy, and also to see what else you have to offer.
Hopefully this release will make sure you have the resources you need to keep producing great content, always makes me smile when I see a new post from you in my inbox.
That is just about the best compliment any blogger or aspiring author could receive. Thank you! I hope my notes provide you with some additional information and ideas 🙂
Please, please please look at making an iBooks version as well. The Kindle Reader for iPad is awful. Even a signed/protected PDF is a better option…I’d definitely purchase either!
Tony, I’m going to look at creating additional formats in a bit, probably after a couple months. Kindle formatting has been a hell of a learning curve, so it’s going to be a bit before I take on another few platforms. I will get there though!
Hi Pete, your blog is a joy to read and I learned quite a few tricks from you. Congratulations with your book. Can’t wait to read it.
Cheers, Franco
I enjoyed your book very much, it was what I expected, fun and interesting. I’ve been doing rope for a few years and found your personal input, the case studies a real added value. I’ve even learned new stuff so that’s great too. I’ll be doing a review of your book on Amazon and on my blog.
Anyway, in my option, this is a must have book, even for those whom are more or less experienced.
Cheers, Franco
Thank you so much. It’s really good to know that the book is working for people! Thank you very much for the feedback 🙂
