I much prefer silky cords. I hate when the tie chafes me, and I just like the look and the feel of something silky.

Depends on the purpose for the rope. Hemp is incredibly strong and holds knots well, making it a favorite for suspension. Bamboo is softer but still strong and with anti-bacterial properties that make it great for genital ties. Mohair and silk are really soft and nice for light and luxurious bondage.

My ideal all purpose rope would probably be a blend of hemp and bamboo.

Excellently satisfying explanation for the question in my case, thank you!

(Further comments are still welcome of course... )

True bondage rope is pretty soft. However, many package their product as such, and it just isn't so.

Hemp is nice. I like the cotton variety as well, and paracord can be fun too.

I've only had japanese silk rope and I like the softness of it because it doesn't hurt.

Indeed it is definitely something for anyone, unless it is too weak to handle harder use... ^^

I looooove paracord but it won't hold regular knots, I'm always having to double and triple knot it to get it to stay. So I don't use it for play but there are tons of other projects where paracord is a life saver.

It depends on what you use it for.
