Product Description
Book Description
When Two Knotty Boys, J.D. and Dan, began teaching rope
bondage together in 1999, they discovered that most people learn best when
they're shown -- close up, step by step, and repeatedly -- how to tie basic
knots and combine them into bondage techniques. It is this learning process
that they duplicate in this book. With the help of world-renowned
photographer Larry Utley, they use over 750 photos and captions to
explicate the soup-to-nuts techniques for turning great knots into great
bondage that is safe, sensual, attractive, and effective. Readers can learn
at their own pace, review whole techniques at a single glance, or even lay
it flat on the table (beside their blindfolded partner) and follow along as
they tie. Two Knotty Boys Showing You the Ropes appeals to those interested
in improving the quality of their sex lives, not to mention aficionados of
bondage and discipline/sadomasochism (BDSM), both curious newcomers and
serious players alike.

Format:Paperback
The book is a great way to introduce you and/or partner into the rope bondage scene, It is very clearly laid out, with easy to follow step-by-step instructions on how to tie, and just as important, how to release the knots. The book is divided into several sections, firstly giving some useful hints and tips on the different types of rope out there and the pros and cons of each; this is followed by a guide to doing the do's and don'ts within rope bondage, including safety (very important); the basic knots are then covered; and finally sections on different applications of the specialist knots/positions e.g. dominance bondage or sexual use of knots & positions.
The book is written with a cheeky and fun sense of humour, and is not at all cliquey in its approach to rope bondage. It does mention that the styles shown in the book are not purely from the art of shibari (Japanese rope bondage): there are some western influences too.
It even has a recommended further reading list, should you wish to delve a little deeper into the scene, or learn more about the particulars.
And should you ever have chance to contact the Two Knotty Boys in real life or via myspace, you'll find that they really are down-to-earth friendly guys that are only too happy to help with queries.

If you have never looked into this and want a positive, informative, fun book to get you started then this is it! It is clean, easy to follow and starts right at the top, with rope, kinds of rope, uses for, and tips on safty, health and so on to make it very informative.
The pictures are clear, colourfull and taken so that you see each and every stage of each tie, without going from one point to another and wondering how you got there!
if your starting out, or even a seasoned player, this is for you!

I recently bought 'The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage' in the hope of learning some basic techniques but was terribly disappointed. The diagrams are unclear and there are only a handful of techniques in quite a large book. I bought 'The Knotty Boys' in the hope that it would be a better introduction and I have to say I was VERY pleased. Clear, well paced instructions and a wide variety of knots from the very basic to the complex and aesthetically impressive. I couldn't recommend this book enough and will soon be purchasing the second volume.

Knotty boys
I've used this book before and think it essential for beginners in bondage. The instructions are so clear and it includes the different elements on bondage I'm interested in.

Imformative
Does what it says on the label, detailed description of techniques but the photographic quality leaves something to be desired. Book a little on the thin side but worth the price.

Learning the ropes.
Useful knowledge on safty restaints and knots. Worth having for sensual bondage scenes.
