Rope bunny
An informal name for a person who enjoys being tied, the rope bottom. Some use it playfully about themselves, while others find it cutesy or belittling, so many communities now prefer rope bottom or rope model.
Rope bunny is a casual term for the rope bottom, the person who is tied. Voudou Ropes describes it as a playful name for someone who loves being in rope, often kept as friendly slang while “rope bottom” serves as the general term. In the United States, Shibari Study’s glossary notes, it can suggest enthusiasm the way “gym bunny” does, but it can also come across as demeaning, so the glossary advises letting people pick it for themselves. Anatomie Studio calls the word controversial and says it has faded as rope scenes have diversified, with many people not relating to its cute tone. A story that it comes from tied bottoms twitching their noses like rabbits is, according to Shibari Study, unconfirmed.
