Bondage question: why is silk so common in erotica?
Genuinely. When I'm reading my smut on ao3, as soon as a bondage scene is there the dom will pull out a silk scarf specifically. Rope seems to be a somewhat uncommon bondage device despite it being what's recommended by most riggers.
Is jute just too scary? Do people hate hemp? Is it because hemp rope kinda smells like a barn? I guess silk is a sexy fabric or whatever, but why choose that specifically? Why not,,, idk, a leather belt?
I'm very serious. What's up with that? I know this is a very random and hyper specific question but I'm genuinely curious.
