Love life sagging? Why not break out the ropes and get down to a little bondage play with your lover. But, as most devotees will tell you, you can get into quite a muddle if you use just any old thing to hoist hubby from the rafters. It‘s somewhat embarrassing calling out the fire brigade to cut him down, especially once he’s turned blue.

So it is a wise woman who chooses to purchase rope that is specially manufactured for the purpose. This one comes in either three metre (for hands and feet) or 10 metre lengths for the more adventurous. Can’t promise your man will look like this one, though.
