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 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
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.
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
