This is not a SFW instance. NSFW communities will be tagged, and efforts will be made to keep SFW communities clean, but proceed at your own comfort level.
Isn’t the stuff explicitly designed for kink generally safer and more comfortable? I was under the impression that using just any old rope would lead to some unpleasant friction burns.
If it actually is, maybe, but average sex shop stuff is just run-off-the-mill product with a kinky sticker on it. Depending on material it may be conditioned, but that’s still cheaper to do on your own and also makes it a more personal tool, which I like.
Friction burns come more from bad rope handling than bad quality / material. It’s not supposed to rub over skin continuously (but can be used consciously for the sensation, of course).
Disclaimer: Not at all my area of expertise.
