Editorial Reviews

Product Description

When Two Knotty Boys, Dan and J. D., began teaching rope bondage together in 1999, they discovered that most people learn best when they're shown — close up, step by step, and repeatedly — how to tie basic knots and combine them into bondage techniques. It is this learning process that they duplicate in this book. With the help of world-renowned photographer Larry Utley, they use over 750 photos and captions to explicate the soup-to-nuts techniques for turning great knots into great bondage that is safe, sensual, attractive, and effective. Readers can learn at their own pace, review whole techniques at a single glance, or even lay it flat on the table (beside their blindfolded partner) and follow along as they tie. Two Knotty Boys Showing You the Ropes appeals to those interested in improving the quality of their sex lives, not to mention aficionados of bondage and discipline/sadomasochism (BDSM), both curious newcomers and serious players alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Is pretty bondage possible? You betcha!, December 22, 2006
This is the book I was looking for... only downside was the black and white photos versus color. Beyond that it was s super book for learning some of the decorative *and* useful ;) bondage methods. Had purchased several other books to learn the basics but while the results were functional, they were pretty.

This book is basic enough that you don't have to be super advanced. Lots of steps-by-step pictures and solid instructions. Wish I had found this early. Between this book and Chanta Rose's book, you cover all bases for good solid functional and pretty bondage!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the book that has been missing!!!, December 15, 2006
By M. E. Nelson "SirElliott" (Central Washington) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
At last, the Two Knotty Boys have given us the book that will allow people to easily understand how to safely incorporate rope bondage into erotic fun. Granted there have been other texts published on erotic bondage, some have been better than others, but none had all of the elements needed. The "boys" got it right.

If you are in the least bit interested in rope bondage, you must get this book. Look at the price, it's a steal. I actually feel bad about paying such a low cost for such a valuable asset. At $16.95 the 37 step by step techniques comes out to .46cents per tie. You'll look great as you tie them and the knots are fantastic looking. Oh, and the person tied will be comfortable, safe, and helpless. What more could we ask for.

The "boys" have a perfect background, a industrial rigger, a climber, both backgrounds require safety as the basis for everything. The both love bondage and have taught many, many classes. This means they have learned how to teach the techniques to hundreds of others. It shows in the layout of the book. Simple step by step photos that match the written instructions. No matter what the level of the reader, this book will make you better.

Don't wait, get this book now. You will not be disappointed. If there was an award for BDSM books, this would win book of the year.

Great job, destined to be the definitive text on erotic bondage!!! 5 stars..at least.

3.0 out of 5 stars Another good reference is always welcome, February 21, 2007
After only having gone thru the book once or twice, I can say it's well worth the money. More color photo's would have been nice, but not a deal killer.

There were a few typo's, like saying clockwise and meaning counter-clockwise, but otherwise there is good information to be had. I'm skipping over the decorative knots myself (spending all my time as a rope-person telling newbies that you DON'T need to know many knots), but I can already see some good ties that I wasn't already using.

Simply put,a good deal for the $$...
