Half-Hitch Spiral (HHS)

By Lazarus

This technique creates an aggressive spiral for the end of the falls.

A flogger made with these will not be for just anyone. When I say “aggressive”, I mean it. If you hit with something like this too hard on bare flesh, you can draw blood. But some people like the multi-layered sensation it can give. Test it gently first, over clothes, with very open communication and only with enthusiastic consent. Build from there if your partner likes what they feel.

This is just a series of half-hitches, all running the same way.

Rope consumption

Rope Consumption: With ¼” (~6mm) rope, each 1” (2.5 cm) of linear distance will require 4 half-hitches, and will consume ~7.5” (19 cm) of rope

Per strand, by variant. Values vary with rope brand, lay, and tension.
