But its my guess that most people start off with rope as it because its easier to get a hold of. I think later one Chains become more prevalent though... That's just my guess. because chains kind of come with all cuffs people buy and such.

Status: offline 		You need to buy cuffs to make good use of chain, so there's a higher barrier to entry. Rope is cheaper and more versatile, so for people who only care about the results of their bondage, rope makes more sense. Also, there are lots of people out there who fetishize rope specifically.

I've used chain but was never crazy about it. I think to be emotionally satisfying for me, it would need to be serious heavy stuff, and I can't justify the money or the backache.

Status: offline 		I prefer to be in rope. Chain certainly has its place; including a visual appeal, the very weight of the material and sometimes the sounds of metal on metal. Good rope work is also visually appealing and for me at least I feel more restrained by snug rope than I do by more formidible chain. It really is a matter of preference; most of the time my preference is good rope, tied well by one who knows how.

Status: offline 		Hm. When I think "bondage" I always default rope, because to me, "bondage" is a little more than just restricting movement, there is an aesthetic and tactile component too, and chain, while fun, isn't versatile enough to substitute for rope in bondage. Chain is, however, to me, superior to rope if it's simply about restraining someone.

I also like the psychological aspect of keeping someone shackled and bound in chains. The sound the make as they move gives me delicious shivers. I can't be bothered to learn rope tying for bondage when I can have chains.

My husband, OTOH, does shibari so he loves rope, the more colorful the better.

Status: offline 		By far rope > chains.

I use chains. I used to chain my girls to the wall at night. Off and on I have spent about 20 years using chain on a regular basis. You can see wear marks on the chains at the ends and surface is polished from skin oils and acids. Despite my taste for the chain, if you add up all my experiences since 1971, rope has been as often or more than chain.

Chain is not used as commonly used as rope and their are a multitude of purposes for rope.

Status: offline 		As others have said, rope is cheaper and more versatile.

That being said, I prefer the look and feel of chain. It holds a stronger connotation of "captured" or "restrained" than rope does, in my opinion--more "heavy duty," I guess. We like that. I do like rope as well, but we don't use it nearly as often.

The downside to chain, however, is that it's cold!!

Status: offline 		We (meaning I) like chains.

1-They are heavy
2-They are cold
3-They make those lovely clanking sounds
4-They have serious dungeon connotations that linger in the subconscious
5-She's a tussler and has trouble sitting still during beatings. Rope stretches. Chains don't. So We(I) prefer chains for strict immobilization.

Course, grins, I did a scene a few days back using only dental floss-I think she's still in agony from that :-)
