ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Rope bondage

Rope bondage is like playing dress up with strings! Think about how you've played with ribbons or shoelaces before. It's when someone uses rope to wrap around another person's body, like a big hug!

But it's important to remember that when people play with rope, they have rules called "consent." This means the person that the rope is going around needs to say "yes" to this game first. Both people also need to be careful because wrapping string around someone can sometimes feel tight or uncomfortable, so they need to be careful not to hurt each other.

Some people like rope play because it can feel like a big hug, or because it's a fun way to feel close to someone else. It's just another way for people to play and enjoy being together.
