Which one is more interesting to you handcuffs or ropes? I think that handcuffs are much more risker because they bring a bit of fear. Not knowing if your partner is going to let you go can intensify your sexual experience and your four play can become more natural.

both can be used to stimulate this kind of fear.
If you are wanting them for foreplay i suggest either double lock handcuffs or actually use some rope.
All rope handcuffs if tied right will not tighten.

I'm a big fan of rope because it is cheap, strong, and you can create all sorts of creative bondage situations with it. If you do go with handcuffs go with the fuzzy kind or you might rub your wrists raw.

For some reason for me ropes I find bring something a bit "scarier" into the mix. Maybe it is has been long driven into my mind with all the scary movies I do not know but there is just something for me about ropes.

I like the look of both... but ropes are a lot more practical to use and more comfortable (and don't come with fluffy cuffs... they destroy all feeling for me)

I took it upon myself to add a little poll to this question (hope OP won't mind :) )
I do have a slight preference for ropes due to their versatility & soft "touch" but I wouldn't cringe at the sight of a pair of handcuffs for sure... :rolleyes: :D

Handcuffs, the ropes usually leave burn marks if they are pulled too tight.

If we are playing Law and Order and I am arresting him for male prostitution then of course handcuffs. If we are playing serial killer on the loose then ropes would be more appropriate.

I love both sex tools and equipment. But the best for me is the ropes.

Since I'm doing japanese rope bondage, it is of course rope, but only hemp rope. And rope is so much more versatile.
Handcuffs are nice as long as you don't buy the cheap fluffy ones with security lock. :D

I like rope as well. For the same reason someone else mentioned you can create more situations with it.

Both.
I like handcuffs, but I want to get more into rope. In many ways handcuffs bore me, but I have a thing for metal.
Ropes, however, can make cuffs. You can make cuffs, harnesses(which I'm very fond of), leash, etc. So I'd say ropes are more handy. ;3 Unfortunately I haven't been able to do all that seeing as I'm in an online M/s relationship. Soon, though, soon.

I like both, but prefer rope. Rope is a lot more useful, and if done right, can keep someone more secure than cuffs again. I love handcuffs too though.

I prefer the versatility of rope. I'm not a big fan of the ornate and aesthetic of the shibari rope work, as I like girls to be feisty and resistant as I wrestle them to the ground and bind them, but there are so many more ways to tie someone than to cuff them.
That said, I do like to use steel handcuffs, although I'm more likely to use leather restraints than steel ones.

i like ropes better, but if you're going into public afterward it can be bad because of some marks they may leave.

I prefer rope too. Much more versatile. Soft cuffs are ok. I really do not like the feel of hard, metal cuffs. Takes the mood away.

Only ever used handcuffs, but they do the job pretty well ;)
I love my fluffy pink ones, there quite comfy too ^_^

I like both. Rope is great with a partner but when doing solo bondage i prefer cuffs because they are easier to apply. I haven't found an easy to apply yet hard to get out of rope tie for a solo session.

Handcuffs are my favorite to use. They are much harder to get out of while still letting your slave have some movement. Although rope is much more versitile it is hard to use and takes too much time.

This is my First post. Please stop by and let me know How I am doing, and fill me in on any secrets that I need to know.
I fully believe that the most erotic part of anything is the thought and energy that you put into it. I can be very creative with rope.
Handcuffs are nice and ceertainly serve a purpose, but there is a limited number of things that one can do with cuffs before they start to feel like VANILLA kink.
I am a firm believer that if I keep your mind interested and pleased then your body will always follow.
Handcuffs are handcuffs.
Using rope is a real art !

I really like handcuffs. I don't usually care for the ropes cutting into my arms -- at least most of the time. Unfortunately, my wrists are so small that I can usually slip out of handcuffs.
Ropes for me I find them so much more of a turn on than handcuffs, i have tried alsort to be tied up with and they are still my favourite ones.

I personally use both, sometimes handcuffs work better, sometimes rope does, depends on the task at hand

I like both although we rarely use ropes because of bruising. Handcuffs to me are fail proof, you can not get out of them until I let you out.

I love ropes the feeling of it is intense and always get me turn on
wat i love the most about the ropes is the fact that it can be use in many ways and the are no limits (depending on the rope size) you can tie someone with it:dungeon:

I like using both though I'd say I use rope more often than cuff's, I use cuff's mostly when lazy. Really it depends on how I feel at the time and the type of sub I'm with.

I've had a slight change of heart when it comes to cuffs. I'm a really big fan of the padded leather locking restraints (http://www.extremerestraints.com/bondage-gear_10/strict-leather-locking-cuffs_82.html). In my opinion they solve all the problems that handcuffs have.
Rope for me! I do love handcuffs but rope has an amazing appearance. It is also more versatile, perfect for spread-eagle ;)

I always like the feel of steel and no chance of them coming undone
I like both cuffs and rope but which is best? I'd have to say rope.
Rope has far more uses than handcuffs.

While either will do, I have a slight preference to rope. Soft rope doesn't usually leave burns, and I think there's something romantic or artistic about rope when compared to cuffs. Also, you don't need to keep track of a key with rope, which is nice. It's harder to cut cuffs off someone if something goes wrong. Rope is also versitle. However, for certain times cuffs are a good way to go. Cop role playing works better with cuffs, for example.

Ropes have so many more uses so they are the easy winner for me.

Rope can be fun, but I've always loved the feeling of hard metal cuffs. They seem so much more restrictive. Now, both at once...

got to have both in your bondage arsenal, and when you use handcuffs and rope in same session..... makes you glad you made the purchase

I personally like ropes better. I'm not too experienced in rope bondage, I can tie a basic chest harness and one or two other configurations, but I love the look and feel of rope better. I'm a big fan of the chest harness, and the way it looks.

I like handcuffs the best or any lock. You can only be let go by the one how holds the key. They have the key they have the control and power.

Love em both, but if we're using handcuffs they ain't gonna be fluffy ones.

Sounds weird, but I prefer ropes because of the idea that they're tentacles. Ahe. Just lube them up first, and wheeeee! Slimy, restrictive goodness. ;)

I personally prefer being on the receiving side of handcuffs as they are easier to to put into use than fiddling around with rope.
As opposed to rope scarfs are hand as they can double up as blindfolds aswel as restraints.

Both are a great turn on, ropes have more choices and positions and pleasure.
But fluffy hand cuffs are soooo pretty!!!!!!
hehehehe. i love mine!:D
I like both, but ropes are just my favorite.

I like and use them both.In the evening ( when private with My personal ) I use cuffs to tie him up when he goes to sleep,but rope also has got some good qualities. I love to make little harnasses for My subs out of it : so nice to "drift off" while "knotting" , very relaxing
StupidSlut
03-08-2011, 01:39 PM
Either is fine for me but for my own purposes when I am mostly alone I can only really use cuffs at least for my hands. But if I am with someone then I usually like the feeling of rope more.
I prefer the feeling and technique involved with rope and it is more comfortable for prolonged periods but in the heat of a moment i like that handcuffs are instant!

I much prefer ropes, I like bondage for longer periods of time, and handcuffs just aren't comfortable for very long. I like the way they look as well, I think it's really sexy.
So that's me!

Hinged handcuffs are excellent for really restraining a girl quickly, she'd barely be able to move her hands in these http://www.copsplus.com/products/large/350096.jpg
but rope is better for prolonged (unless the pain is part of it), both at the same time can get fun, handcuff her, tie her feet and her hair to the handcuffs with rope then fuck her throat until she pukes.

I am ceriten that ropes are better for some people but the nerves in my hands are so fucked from boxing that I can barely tie the type of knots that would keep a girl down

I find ropes are far more satisfying. They have near infinite variations and if used correctly do not leave much of a mark. 2+2=4

Tie me down, or cuff me up. I do not care as long as I am used for her pleasure.:D

I like both, using cuffs for the wrists and rope for the knees, ancles ect...
