Many people would say that string is a very useful thing to have because it has so many practical uses and if you're really creative, it can provide hours and hours of entertainment.
String is likely to be something that we all use (isn't it?) and somewhere in your home, I'm guessing you will probably have some. It comes in a variety of colours (pink in Japan) and thicknesses (is there an official term for string thickness?) and sold in several forms: Cones; balls; a length or two in a packet.
If you're now thinking "Wow! I've got to get myself some, where can I buy it?", fear not, I can reassure you that it can be bought from many DIY shops and can usually be found somewhere on a shelf between the sandpaper and Swarfega.
Just in case, there are some of you reading this blog and wondering what the heck it has to do with sex, the answer is ... I don't really know, perhaps you can tell me. All I know is that I was chatting to a friend last night who suggested I wrote a blog about it.
Yo! Joe, I did it :-)
Just for fun (no sensible answers allowed), name one thing you can do with string.

Joe: I had an epiphany after reading your post. If someone were to develop a fully automated "shibari" (or "kinbaku".....depending on preference) machine along the lines of an agricultural hay baler, not only would it eliminate at a stroke all that BS from would-be "rope masters", but it would make available a mind-boggling variety of styles, textures and tension suited to all tastes. It could be fully programmable along the lines of a 3D printer: just punch in the requirements, position your lady partner on the "baling platform" and select the type of ropestring she prefers (which could range from silk through to rough baling twine for extra suffering). Simply press the red button and the thing would whirr into action, lifting, inclining, inverting and spreading the recipient while the ropestring feeds continuously from a large roll stored on a spool. A minute or two later, the fully bound and helpless subject would be ejected from the machine down a shoot, and straight onto the bed (or wherever), ready to be abusedtorturedplied with sex toyshot candle wax etc. Naturally such luxury would not come cheap, but I suppose group rental (perhaps by a sex club) could be an option. |

Sounds like the plot to the next Wallace & Grommit film to me Skebbie. Oh what jolly japers they can have when Wallace and Mrs Honeybuns fall into the Acme Bound-o-Matic machine only to be saved by Grommit after they have emerged from the exit in a compromising position.... Unless they wouldn't want to be saved? ;-) |

I believe string can be woven into a utiliterian garment known in some parts as a vest and is often worn as a symbol of status by a social elite |

String also comes in virtual form, you should be very familiar with it Luv2, you keep enough of your blog followers dangling by it! |

Yes I have to admit being dangled can be exciting and a lot of fun but sometimes you just wish that you'd be reeled in and put out of your misery. |

So said granddad to little Johnny. What can't you do with string? Dunno said Johnny. Push it! said Grandad. Huh said Johnny, who wrent off, came back with a can of spray starch which he squirts on the string and once it dries, shoves it through a hole in the garden fence. |

Fingerbobs and clangers .... Think we are showing our age people. I'm sure string was used by the mice in the marvelous mouse organ on Bagpuss as well? But not in the way that has been described by most people here ..... |

A couple seated in a restaurant noticed that all the waiters carried two spoons in their vest pocket. Curious, the man asked their waiter the reason for this.
