Bondage and rope marks

I've been in love with bondage since my teens. From tying up the girls while playing Cowboys and Indians, to tying up the babysitter in my early teens.
The one thing that I always liked seeing afterward, were the rope marks. The girls were always worried they would go away, the babysitter too, at first.
Some people enjoy seeing the rope marks, others deplore them. But that reality is that unless you place something thick between the skin and the rope, you will end up with rope marks. Even with something between skin and rope, you can still get pinch marks and other marks if you are not careful and alert.
Rope marks are caused by, you guessed it, rope pressing into the skin, leaving an impression of the rope's weave. They are mostly unavoidable, as I said, but usually fade in a couple of hours.
Another type of mark that can appear is petechial hemorrhaging. These look like red scratches and are cause when capillaries rupture under the skin from being caught between strands of rope. They last about a week, but like any bruise, the body absorbs the released blood and the capillary heals.
Not as common, are bruises and hematomas. They are not usually dangerous and appear in areas where the most tension is caused by the bondage, especially in suspension. Bruising usually fades away in about a week also, depending on severity and physique. Some people bruise more easily than others, some heal faster than others.
The last mark, and the one to avoid, is rope burn. It’s caused by pulling rope too fast across the skin, causing friction between the rope and skin, often when pulling excess rope under another band of rope. This can take quite a while to heal since it is actually damaging the skin, much the same way something hot damages the skin. The main thing to remember is to never yank rope quickly across skin, and watch for areas the rope can get caught and grate across the skin when pulled.
There are plenty of Bruise Creams and Aloe lotions that can be used to alleviate any marks or bruising. I keep both in my aftercare kit and I don’t hesitate to apply them to keep my slave’s skin soft and supple.
If by chance marks or bruising get worse over time or cause a lot of pain, never hesitate to seek medical attention, like most every play aspect of BDSM, Bondage has its dangers and care must be taken to ensure the safety, health and wellbeing of the sub/slave.

Interesting take from an expert on "rigging" ...🏆

If the submissive has to go to work Monday morning, rope marks on the wrists are tough to hide.
I use tubular nylon webbing. It tends not to leave marks, done right, and the sub can be completely restrained.
And helpless......

There are times you have to be aware of what will be done after. But I haven't had much trouble with Mark's disappearing in a few hours

Great writing!
What i do mis in this story is trigger points, and how they can get damaged if you/he/ who ever, dont know about them and work around them....

For what i have heard, from riggers, is that when you cut the blood flow to the trigger points, you can damage nerve cells... for permanent or for a little while.
This can be rather severe.

I am no fan of bondage, i would not know.

Yes, that can happen in prolonged bondage when too much pressure or weight is put on a specific area like wrists or ankle. I always stop much sooner than that can happen. It's obvious when to stop when the area loses sensation or motion. I don't like to wait that long. I look for changes in skin color and bluing under the nails.

trigger points? You are talking about safety are you not? Tell us more. Our readers would like that.

Bondage and rope marks are great signs of intimacy, not abuse.
