Resources
Crash Restraint is an amazing online resource. Start with the one-page Advice for Rope and go from there!
The Full Circle Kink bondage series is amazing if you can attend in person, and there are wonderful resources on their website as well.
There are tons of incredible online resources out there! We particularly recommend:
Kink Academy (Shay has a video series on self-suspension, among others).
Rope and other supplies
We recommend Twisted Monk for hemp and POSH rope. Use code “TWISTEDWINDOWS” for a 10% discount.
We recommend Chromaknotz for nylon rope. Use code “Twisted_Windows” for a discount. We also like Twisted Syn nylon.
Looking for a suspension frame? This article has details and links.
Wicked Grounds sells gear, books, rope, and more
References
Note that this is not intended as a comprehensive list of everything we referenced in writing these articles (there were many more), but it does hit the highlights. Some articles on this site use specific reference citing, and some do not – this had to do with issues of flow, and also that we felt the references were more relevant to some topics (nerve damage and bondage) than others (general bondage safety).
