Traditional Armbinder – "MonkeyFetish" Rope Tutorials

The traditional armbinder is one of the sexiest rope ties possible. It can be challenging to implement if you don’t have a bottom who can naturally touch her elbows behind their back. Having an assistant handy to help hold arms close together when trying this tie for the first time is a good idea. Also, make sure your bottom has thoroughly stretched before attempting this tie to prevent any muscle or tendon damage.
