What is a rigger kink?

A rigger kink refers to a type of BDSM or fetish activity involving rope bondage and manipulation, where one partner (the rigger) ties up the other partner (the bottom) in intricate and often artistic ways. The rigging can range from basic restraint to more complex and elaborate ties that create aesthetically pleasing patterns on the body.

Rigger kink can involve a variety of techniques and materials, such as traditional Japanese rope bondage (shibari), Western-style bondage, and various types of rope, such as jute, hemp, or nylon. Safety is paramount in rigger play, as improper tying or lack of communication can lead to injury.

This kink is often about power dynamics, trust, and control, with the rigger taking on a dominant role and the bottom surrendering control and experiencing vulnerability. Communication, consent, and aftercare are important aspects of rigger play to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all parties involved.
