Talk:Rope Making for Bondage Use/Materials

About so-called 'bamboo' rope... unless proven otherwise, the material is viscose made from bamboo, which is quite different from rope made from the original bamboo fibres. A 'real' bamboo rope would be made from strips of bamboo stems, as shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NggXvhegQ3I

For 'bamboo fibres' as used to make the currently trendy bamboo rope, see samples here:

This material is viscose made from bamboo pulp, and in this regard, it's very similar to rayon. Shouldn't we avoid propagating the confusion around what bamboo rope is? --Shadow (discuss • contribs) 11:56, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

I eat meat and I like leather, but I find it a little not fair that so many little worms have to work so much for silk rope and then we throw them into boiling water :/ At least the silk-article should include that it is an animal product. Even if theoretically people know that already. BenjaminWand (discuss • contribs) 15:28, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

I had added 3 links showing samples of bamboo yarn, fibre and top, but someone deleted them. I can assure that person it was not spam at all. Enough people don't actually know what they are talking about when it comes to those new materials, or they may be confusing materials, hence my 3 visual references. If that's breaking any rule, we're in for lots of useless discussions, IMO... and I don't know a a more efficient way to ensure we all talk about the same fibre than referring to photos of said fibres. Any suggestion welcome, if it doesn't involve long textual descriptions of what was in the photos ;-) --Shadow (discuss • contribs) 18:41, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

p.s. I took the time to check with a seasoned Wiki contributor... While pages can be edited, discussions are not supposed to be edited, they are not on the Wiki book page itself, and deleting/editing them makes no sense, but definitely ail make it impossible to keep track of what is being said around the creation of the pages themselves.
