How to Be a Good BDSM Rigger
The exploration of sexuality is why people are all about BDSM, and generally, why people get into the lifestyle in the first place. There are plenty of reasons to get into bondage. The idea of surrendering control of yourself to someone, or having someone surrender that control to you is certainly arousing and it is something to expand your pursuit of pleasure towards. However, there is a role with bondage that people must learn and it is an art. This is being a BDSM rigger. BDSM riggers are the people who specialize in tying someone to a bed. The rigger is not just someone who works with knots, they are someone who adds a bit of art to what they do.
Safety and Being a BDSM Rigger
The key with all things in the world of BDSM is the word safety. When you are a rigger, you are responsible for making sure that someone who is restrained is safely restrained. There are a lot of bad things that can happen if someone is improperly restrained. There are several tips for people who are new to being a rigger. And, when you are new to it, it is imperative to learn how to restrain someone while keeping them safe. Be sure to be mindful if someone says a knot is too tight, or if they are in a position that’s uncomfortable. Just because you have rigged a certain situation doesn’t mean you can’t go ahead and change things up. The pursuit is pleasure, and when you do it right, pleasure will come.
The Tools of the Rigger
There are two tools that a rigger should be proficient with – knots and ropes. Riggers don’t use handcuffs – they are people who use ropes. They could be artistic and frilly ropes but they could also be standard ropes. The other tool of the rigger is the knot. There are several types of knots and a rigger will understand how to use each type of knot to the proper effect. The goal is to make sure the person is comfortable and safe, but at the same time, if a rigger is going to restrain someone, they can’t exactly be moving around. Therefore, it is imperative that a rigger knows everything important about the ropes and that they understand the right types of knots to use.
