I believe it was Mark Twain who said, "Those who write clearly have readers, those who write poorly have commentators."
On the subject of bondage and blood circulation, common sense should tell anyone that cutting off blood circulation to any part of the body is something to be careful about. Rope bondage, or anything else that may constrict, can be tricky as you can cut off circulation without realizing it. A simple demonstration was taught to me years ago and I've found it very educational. Take a simple ordinary piece of string. Wrap it once around the end of your finger, not very tightly. Wait a minute or so and note the effect. Now add 3 or 4 more wraps, again not tight, and wait a few moments... note the effect.
For those too lazy to try it themselves, adding just a few wraps increases the constriction effect considerably. After a minute or so with just 3 or 4 wraps the end of your finger will begin to turn red, then purple, while throbbing. The experiment in useful in teaching yourself about how multiple wraps with a rope can inadvertantly cut off circulation and the need for awareness. If using multiple wraps on limb, it shows the need for care and for not tying them too tightly, as it can easily cut off the blood flow.
