Rigger

A Rigger enjoys restraining a partner, with rope, cuffs or anything else. For some it is about the craft and how it looks; for others it is about the trust involved in holding someone still.

Signs you might lean this way

• The idea of a partner being unable to move appeals to you
• You like the craft and patience of tying
• You care about how it looks as well as how it feels

How the test scores it

Your Rigger score comes from how much these three statements appeal to you:

• Tying up or restraining a partner
• The craft and patience of rope or other restraints
• A partner being held still while I decide what happens

The other side: Rope bunny

Rigger pairs with Rope bunny. You enjoy being tied or restrained. The two are scored separately, and it is common to score well on both.

Talking about it

Learn the basics of safe restraint before you try it, keep safety shears within reach, and agree on a signal that works even if speaking is hard.
