The looking board

Bondage personals, city by city

People saying what they want from a rope partner, and what they want the rest of the week to look like. Sorted by where they are, because the size of a local scene changes the question more than anything else does. Pick your city.

Pinned to the door

A post here is somebody saying what they want from rope and who they want it with. Say what you tie or how you like to be tied, how long you have been at it, and roughly where you are. Leave out the rest. No names, email addresses, phone numbers, messaging handles, links to other profiles or photographs are published on this board, and none are asked for. Nothing here is for hire either. Nobody is selling a session, a tie or an hour, and a post that tries comes off the same day.

Off too: a post describing somebody who did not write it, and the same paragraph pinned to six cities at once. Everything else stays up for forty-five days and then comes down, because a rope partner found in April should not still be advertised in July. If a post reads wrong to you, there is a flag on it, and pulling that is better than writing back. Posting and answering both run through your own account rather than this page.

The four kinds of post

Nobody here is advertising a session. These are people looking for somebody to keep tying with, which is a different search and asks different questions.

Riggers: Looking for somebody to tie, and saying what they want the rest of the week to look like.
Rope bottoms: Looking for somebody to be tied by, with the terms set out before anybody starts.
Switches: Both ends of the rope, and a partner who can handle the swap without making it a subject.
Couples: Two people posting together, whether they both tie or only one of them does.

If the board is the first thing you have read here

Everything above assumes you already know what a jam is and why anybody would want one. The reading side of the site does not assume that.

Pin yours where people who tie will read it

Reading the boards costs nothing and finds nobody. To put a post of your own in front of people who tie near you, and to answer the ones already there, use the platform this site connects to.
