This hand tie is amazingly effective. The only escape is to attack the knot with teeth. A well placed knot or a hood makes this virtually inescapable.
I was taught this tie with tensioning lines. But bondage for me is actually better if the bottom is fully comfortable. So I do the corset, I skip the tensioning lines and finish with the frapping lines for tightness.
There's also an emotional component. I realize that my standard bondage has escalated to involve 200ft of rope in a standard tie. Tying somebody with 20ft of rope that can fit comfortably in the palm of the hand is shocking.
