Rope Fashion

Marling hitches are used on sailboats to fasten a furled sail to a boom when it is not in use. They are a series of overhand knots that spread the pressure along the length of the sail. In rope bondage, we use them to fasten arms to the backs of chairs, and things like that.

But they also work nicely for CBT. They are sort of like a gates of hell, but made of rope. And they always fit. No more will you have the embarrassment of trying to wear a gates of Hell designed for someone with a larger cock, or the pain of wearing one designed for someone with a smaller cock.

Take a 12-foot length of 1/8-inch cord and double it. Wrap the loop around the base of the cock and balls.

Pull the ends of the cord through the loop, and pull it snug. The loop should fall about where the balls attach to the cock, as shown by the arrow.

Now take the ends and wrap them over the balls, back underneath, and cross the ends over the part that wrapped around balls, as shown by the arrow.

After crossing the wrap around the balls, tuck the ends under them and pull them through. In the picture below, A shows the cords wrapping over the balls, B shows them coming out from under the balls, and C shows where the ends tuck under the wrap after crossing it.

Now take the ends and wrap them around the cock, crossing over the wrap as before.

The marling hitches will loop better if the knots run along the top surface of the cock. To make this happen, slide the crossing you just did around to the top of the cock, letting in slack as needed.

Step 9

Wrap the rope around the cock again, and cross it over.

Step 10

Tuck the ends under the wrap, and pull them snug.

Step 11

Keep taking these marling hitches up the cock until you run out of cock.

Step 12

From the bottom, it looks like this.

You can take the ends of the cords and tie them to your partner's nipple clamps.

Another fun thing is to tie a waist rope around your partner's waist, and tie the cord ends to that. This keeps the cock upright and in place. This can be fun if you want to tie a massager to the cock, as you don't have to worry about the cock slipping away from the massager.
