The Dragonfly Harness
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- The Dragonfly Harness. A step closer to the beginning of restrictive bondage, this rig mitigates most of its pressure point concerns with surface area tension dispersion. Does that mean it is totally safe? Not in the slightest. Be weary, be safe, be communicative.
Hopefully my instruction could help whether you are at the beginning of your journey or are already at an intermediate stage.

You're inspirational and calm...like a kinky Bob Ross! 😄
Jesus thats exactly what I thought watching it 🤣
I thought exactly that! Just that it is actually possible to follow along with Rory and do a good job at it😂😂
I've done the dragonfly in the past but didn't think to lock in the steps of the ladder with an overhand knot so it loosened as I got lower. Now I know how to prevent that in the future. Much appreciated!
I love the communication you and your model have with each other.
Thank you so much! 😊🖤
This is the first video of yours I've seen. I really like the way you explain things and preach consent and communication!! This makes me excited to try new things with my partner, with consent and safety of course 💛
Thank you so much! 😊🖤
Me, a novice, having watched the other videos: "That's cool, but what about adding some weaving and half hitches along the OH MY GOD ITS SINKING IN!"
Yay!
Thank you for emphasizing that the models should say something. I've done a couple self-ties where, as things were going, a shoulder or back-of-the-neck rope got a little too tight, but I kept going because dammit, I wanted that pretty chest piece! My shoulder was sore for days, and I couldn't lift my head for a few hours after the rope came off my neck.
I've learned to stay loosey-goosey at first, because weaving really DOES tighten as you go! You can always tighten later.
You are absolutely welcome 🖤
Beautiful tutorial as always! Love the adorable professionalism and communication you and your rope model demonstrate😂
Marie seemed in good spirits today 😂🖤
I see a lot of people complaining about size, and I want to share a tip if you have a mannequin. You can add towels or cloth to limbs and body to add girth and the give that a body does.
I love shibari it's becoming my new hobby.
I'd love to see more simple constraints that keep the arms behind the back.
Love your channel Rory! Keep up the good work!
And I would love to do that but I can't until this lame pandemic is in control and I can have some live models ^_^
BUT! I will.
This is so pretty! Thank you for all the tutorials!
Always
that was simply one of the best tutorials i've ever seen in ropeworks...fantastic! very inspirational!
Way back when I was in college I used to do this one but from the "two knotty boys" tutorial but I love the overhand after each one to stop any slipping. I hadn't done that previously and will be from now on because safety and innovation is the name of the game. 💜🦋💜
Thank you for clear instructions. I usually learn knots so easily, but when trying to teach to someone else that doesn't have similar brain, it gets hard. Your way of teaching is pure :3 or sum :P
This one was MUCH awaited!!!! Thank you!! 💜💜💜
So beautiful!! I totally forgot that it was Tuesday and was uber stoked when I saw a new tutorial. Now I just wanna practice my futomomos. 🤣
This might have been the first shibari practice with my husband that I ABSOLUTELY enjoyed immensely. It is usually frustrating to me but this was perfect and the repetitive quality helped me develop the confidence to keep going. Fun, playful, and sexy time in this one! Grateful and thankful for your guidance.🙌🏼💞😁
Yay!
Happy I could help along your rope journey!
Saw this on TikTok and came rite over to subscribe.
I really need to find out more about the kink community where I live. I love watching you work.
Hi and thank you very much!! I' m a beginner and like the Dragonfly Harness. Couldn't wait to tie my rope model. Yes, it's an intensive communication and experience. I like your videos!! Greetings from Germany 🙂
I love how you talk about safety on your videos. It's very important! :)
Thank you for the videos!
Love from Brazil 🇧🇷 ♥
I love watching your tutorials! Thank you for the time and joy that you put into them.. 💖
More constant communication. We love to see it 🥰👏🏻
New to all this and I'm so thankful for your videos. Thanks for doing what you do. You have have made our lives so much more exciting
So ready to try this out for a photoshoot!
Thank you for also sharing a lot of safety tips in your videos so us noobies can also be safe.
Tried dragonfly once with friends, got some great pics but my arms went numb and i just had thought it was because of some tension in my shoulders. Now i know so much better---
The first video I watched on the butterfly was good but I like your attitude and just showing the base of it. Great content and kept safety and constant at all times. Thanks man and I will find you on tiktok
Random comment, but I just used that on my own legs as a self tie... I was kinda surprised, but it actually worked :). Realy happy with that. At this point I just wanted to thank you for those tutorials. Your videos really help me, as a complete bondage-rooky, especially with my self ties. When I was a kid, I often tried to tie myself up, but it either was to loose or I paniced, because I couldn't get out of it on my own... As you can imagine, that wasn't really fun... And beeing to shy to ask someone to help me (either with the tie itself or with getting out of it), I often felt kind of unpleased... (and yes, for some reason my obsession for bondage started when I was like seven years old, but of course not in a kinky way...)
Great video as always, Rory! I plan to try this one in tandem with the futomomo.
Always intriguing!!, waiting for more!!😊🤩
Just got recommended to this channel from previous dom, looking forward to learn!!
Beautiful tie, thanks for the great tutorial!
Always 😊
You're so right, it is art.
I hope someday I get to wear such pretty things :)
Thank you Rope Daddy! Cant wait to try this out tonight and post a few pics 😚😚
Absolutley adore this tie 🥰
Ugh one of my mannequins arms is bent. Boy what I'd give for a bunny rn lol
I volunteer as tribute.
In 6 months, when I turn 18
@@havvik3505 you low-key shouldn't even be on this channel if you're under 18. You'll find that minors are not welcome in any communities under the BDSM umbrella.
@@thebusiestbee1234 did anyone ask?
No, so how about you keep your opinions to yourself.
1st of all this is youtube,
2nd of all I literally advocated for legality, so how about you take your ego and leave me alone
@@havvik3505 Doesn't matter if it's UA-cam. You're literally on a BDSM channel stating that you're a minor. "Advocating for legality" means nothing when you're still interacting with adults expressing interest in being a bunny with them. And honestly. You're on the internet, in a community that is very passionate about not allowing minors in. Somebody was going to say something and if that's an issue for you, you won't last long here.
@@havvik3505 And the only one here with an ego is you obviously considering your overly defensive response. Have a great night
I like dirty wrong. But unsafe is a no no.
Your voice is calming. Please read more of your book :)
yay, new content. 😊👍💚
Didn't realize how much harder it can be to use a mannequin over a live model
So you found it harder to use a mannequin over live? I’m a newbie trying to learn looking for all tips I can get.
@@paulcoulter7181 in the video you can see the ropes slipping off the slick plastic parts of the mannequin. Rope doesn't slip on skin like that
Haha I've been using an inflatable model... worst idea ever lol. Trying to do more than just two 'wings' causes the whole thing to fall off
@@paulcoulter7181 ah- yes, of course, the plastic model weights far too little, doesn't it.
Love your vids, ty for the self ties.
well its in my reccomended looks like im in for a youtube deep dive tonight
Just ordered some rope! Can’t Wait for it to arrive.
YAAAAY!
Dungeons and dragons and dragonflies!
Hey rory. Could you do a tie where you're unsure of how tight Marie would like it, so you tighten slowly and have her stop you when its comfortable?
I could, yes.
I did something similar in the v plate harness.
I do really like how you demonstrate proper communication with Marie. Obviously you mention communication in your SSC intro, but the demonstration is also helpful. Sometimes I expect you to ask things that bunnies should look out for, like numbness, tingling, making sure she can breathe comfortably, etc.
Thank you so much bro
You are so very welcome 😊
Beautiful!
Is soooo beautiful!!😍😍😍
man, getting that overhand perfectly below the other knot while keeping tension was way harder than it looked
"Hey bro could you put this tie on me for gym? Its part of my workout now bro"
"Sure bro id do anything for you bro"
I have done this harness and I am about to do it again. Simple really but it can frustrate also.
hey! could you do a video on the chest harness you did here? its so beautiful!!
Videos are great! I do think it would be nice to see some 1 rope tie ups.
I have done a few and have a few more planned 😊
Yay this is so gorgeous
I cant watch my toddler is up in my saves though this looks interesting.
"Dirty, wrong, unsafe evil!" XD
Imagine alternating colours with this~ it would look amazinggg. Also I heard that little wahey. banjo kazooie fan?
Could you do a video of how you did the front? I'm still new and cannot figure it out
Ayyy good stuff!
Could you make some tutorials for harnesses and rigs for plus size bunnies? It's hard to find a rig that doesn't make me look like a roast ham 😭😭
I bought a spandex full-body suit for my mannequin. It does wonders for preventing rope from sliding down the arms and chest.
I should get that for practice
First off I just gotta say I LOVE this dragonfly sleeve variation. I’m so excited to try this tonight and figure out how to creat a new variant with this concept. Secondly, after watching all you vids so far I’m interested in checking out some nylon rope but, I’ve always been cautioned against it be every experienced rigger in my local scene. Do you have any Idea what the reason for this is or is it just a local thing?
Rope is super subjective. You can ask hundreds of riggers and it varies so much. I have a preference toward nylon so that is what I prefer. My second rope information tutorials shows how to find a resource to find plenty of rope suggestions and guides to finding what works best for you.
Artist 🔥
Those poor women 😔
I love it
I would love to learn the tie at 8:50 both by itself and how to in corporate it with the dragonfly.
Got my bunnies coming in next week! One will definitely love this! Just wondering if two can be connected back to back. Is it possible?
I don't see why not 😊
Hey rory. I love your channel. What about s double dragónfly. Front and backwards so that arms cant move and losen the knots. Diferent colours.
I wouldn't want the the cross tension between those two to cause too much pressure on the arms. Might want to keep it to either or :P
Rory is this a standard 23 ft piece or 26.5?
Love your show . How ever when I see your wrist and arms what words are they spelling and what does it mean? Just curious!
Invalesco and Fides.
Elder Futhark runes that translate into latin. They are the old PCQR, the roman military greeting; "Strength and Honor."
Rory's Brainworks thanks for satisfied my curiously! Warming about Maria! She might be a consenting adult but she might need to see a psychologist for having ideas of joining a holy crusade or for parachute jumping because she has dragon fly wings. 😂 haha so question rises is she sane!!!
I feel I'm very late to take up a serious interest in Shibari (I've always liked the aesthetic but never been active in it), but I now have a model who is interested in exploring this with me. Just want to say your videos are a really big help to a beginner!
Yay!
This brings me joy!
I’m wondering if you could also use a prusik cuff to start the harness off.
Okay, i’m new to this. I’ve always been intrigued to try this stuff out. Your videos got me to just jump in and try it. So a huge thank you for your videos! But, i know you said in the beginning. That the knot kinda irks you from tiktokers. But what about going all the way down the arms. Then doing a cuff? With that knot. Or maybe a different one? Be kind, i’m new 😬😅 lol
Cinching is always something to avoid when binding a persons wrists and ankles. Always remember that! 😊
@@RorysBrainworks mental note taken!
Hi there! I know you may not have enough experience in this but could you maybe do a video on suspension or some ties to use in it? I haven’t found a lot on it.
what is the size of the rope?
Beautiful!! And I heard on a live on TT that you are actually going to be doing 2 videos a week now?? Is that true??
Yeah, the second will be D&D related
@@RorysBrainworks thank the gods!! I wanna learn how to play so bad...
Am I the only one who says his outro with him? Lol.
Is this wearable as a posture corrector? I mean, well, yeah :|
oh,yes
Do you have good recommendations for the male body type? My partner is giving me the okay to try a few with him, and i wanna do ones that will be comfortable for him.
can u do more videos of things we can do solo ?
I have a few on the list 😊
Why don't you put a link to your sponsor in the doodley-do?
Is it 30ft rope doubled(60 total feet) or 15 feet doubled(30 total feet)
Could you do a bull dog harness? I haven't found a good tutorial yet.
Where did you get your shirt???
So question - what's a good reference for setting the tone of the evening if you're about to try some very basic shibari with your partner/bunny?
Could you elaborate more?
@@RorysBrainworks Thanks for replying - I have a partner and she's willing to be my bunny, so I was curious about ways of setting the mood/atmosphere for the evening. Do you have particular music you like? Candle light? warehouse style room or bedroom? For us, this is something to enhance our intimacy as a couple. Since posting this, I did speak to a few people in a shibari group on FB, and got some ideas. But since I started this here, someone else may be interested too?
Is there a link to knotted nylon???
Knotheadnylon.com
What thickness of rope is this?
8mm.
6-8mm is what you wanna go for.
In future, I request that you close caption your videos. It is helpful to me. I'm sure it would be helpful to others. Thank you. Have a good one.
Flower based or heart based harness anytime soon??
Deal!
Can you build a fischtale from the legs with shibari?
I would Like ti be the model dir IT 😜
Noice 👍🏻
i wanna u post adress man. u did teach to me lot of thing. super merci!
I've been trying to find a mannequin like this for ages that has hips or a start of the legs. Any suggestions anyone?
@cardshark did you find one and if so where? Thanks!
@@333kenshin not yet. I think my best shot would be at any wore that uses em as they may have extras.
Some self time for legs
On the list 😊
Yay what do you recommend for newbies or how much rope to get it as a starter
TIC TOK isnt that for children?
Eita...
