Cool deal, Lee. Just remember, don't let anyone you don't fully trust tie you up. And if you're tying someone else up, especially with rope, find someone who has a lot of experience to guide you. A few leather straps is one thing but if you get some poor guy all knotted up and he has a panic attack or you're cutting off his circulation, you don't want to be knee deep in knots you can't undo quickly. The best rope bondage doesn't involve many knots at all, and those are usually ones you can tug a certain way and they'll come totally undone in flash. And just in case, always have a pair of safety scissors handy. Those are the ones with one flat edge that goes against the body so you don't slice someone open while trying to cut them lose. When it comes to advanced BDSM just remember, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of legal fees.
