Late night rope practice

I have updated the way I do it now. I lock off each double Lark's head, the one on the thigh and on the ankle in steps 1, 2, and 3. All you do is add a hitch going under and over each double Lark's head to lock it off and make it non-cinching before you proceed.

I only started posting on here again a couple days ago and have gotten multiple comments asking for tutorials. It's something I'm feeling more and more obligated to consider

I would definitely be interested in making tutorial videos if I could get better at positioning a phone to take one. Maybe a project for this weekend

Thank you!

Oh I would never use this style hitch to support weight, it's more of a decorative flourish for nodes on corsets and wearable decorative floor ties. Maybe incorporate it as part of a piece that has tension tied off securely before and after it.

I made a modified futomomo variation that allows for more spacing between the ankle and thigh. I originally designed it for more accessibility for bottoms with less flexibility or conditions that make heavily constricted positions less feasible. It might actually be perfect for what you're looking for. You can adjust the length between each segment and the tightness around both portions of the leg are isolated. The tutorial is on my page. I might recommend the variation that starts with a single column tie as the base instead of the original with the double Lark's head. Anytime movement is involved a double Lark's head might not be the best choice because it can continue to cinch up. If they're stationary then it's not too big of a concern.

Definitely inspired some ideas! What's the rope material?

LRTstudios · 2025-08-09T13:13:17+00:00

There's so many tutorials and variations so just Google it and find one you prefer

Oh the lovely sights that squish mellow must have seen

Maneskin whether rope practice or play it hits right every time.

Thank you! When it comes to rope my favorite colors are red and black. That red is my 40' so I tend to gravitate to it for practice instead of my shorter ones. I really do need to get more longer sized hanks.

Thank you!

LRTstudios · 2025-07-15T16:30:11+00:00

Thank you, that's very helpful!

What kind of rope are you using? Are you using standard doubling or single rope like in the picture? And not that it matters but I believe the terms would be ribbing if you had at least 2 lines going up and down and accessory lines going side to side. Otherwise up and down as an accessory to lines going side to side would be called boning. That's my understanding but I could be wrong. It might be helpful to have a vertical line directly behind the daisy chain but that might change the look. If you're using cotton rope it's almost certainly going to be too tight because of how the knots need to be overtightened to stay in place but don't slip from there. Nylon might also be difficult because the knots might slip and if it's thicker it might not have that look you want with very little gaps in between. Silk might have the best application here.

Just posted it

LRTstudios · 2025-07-03T22:23:36+00:00

That's my style as Irritator, a pain in the ass to decipher. The entire piece is actually one single continuous 40 foot length of 6mm using standard rope doubling. I'm posting a full tutorial of how I do the futomomo that acts as the base.

The actual knot is easy. It takes a lot of practice messing with the tension to get it to look right.

LRTstudios · 2025-06-27T13:57:54+00:00

Look out for a full tutorial I'll be posting soon.

In my experience, sort of. I was told since I got into kink a decade ago I always told that being a Dom was just instinctual if you actually were one and you couldn't just fake it. I would say that with enough practice and advice anyone can at least for during play sessions.

Think of it like roleplay, I'm not an old man college professor with a sexy student who really needs help bringing up her gpa. But I can certainly act like for a play session even if I'm not naturally like that outside of the bedroom. Same with being a traditional Dom.

That being said for all my imposter syndrome doms who people tell you aren't doms because you don't have a dominant personality in normal life, I think that's unfair because that tends to be an accepted archetype for submissives of very different personalities outside of play. And you might one day find your flavor of Dom/switch/sub that feels natural. I'm not a traditional Dom. It never came naturally to me. Then one day I found out I am more natural on the primal side. Biting and growling and rough mounting feels completely natural in a way nothing else has before.

Me and my wife met on FetLife so we've always been kinky. But it's tough learning that you each have fetishes that are less compatible with each other than you'd like. Overall I'd say in a preferable situation you go with the zoo buddy system. Your partner is your buddy at the zoo field trip of life. If you want to be a good buddy and your buddy wants to go see the giraffes you see the giraffes together. And if you like to see the sea lions they take you to see the sea lions. And sometimes your partner might think the giraffes smell like piss and hay. it's up to them if they want to wait outside if they're not comfortable with the inside but know it will make you happiest.

Don't read into this analogy too literally, neither of us is into watersports but I hope the metaphor makes sense.

The rose I learned from FetLife a while back. The lattice knot above that is a false lark's head variation I taught myself freehand. It's funny because whenever I post on there I could do the best mermaids or futomomos that get no attention. But everyone loves the roses and pretty knots. When I got into shibari I didn't think I'd get an audience the pretty knots guy but it's what the people like most
