It isnt painful to remove unlike tape (unless you have that special bondage tape, but the majority of that stuff is crap), its reusable, its comfortable, its doesnt scrunch up when you struggle and if youve got a good amounts and someone who knows what theyre doing, its incredibly difficult to get out of! And as far as simple preference goes - I like rope looks a lot nicer than tape - its so much more elegant and classic damsel in distress.
My wife and I also prefer rope to tape, for most of the reasons above. However, if you're using duct tape, you can eliminate the tugging pain removal (espescially from the lips!) of the tape brings. Simply stick the tape to your shirt, pants, whatever, before putting it on the damsel's mouth. It won't hurt at all if you do that.
However, again, I agree with Sam. Rope looks sexier. Even if tape is hard to get ou of, it really doesn't look it. And from what I hear, rope makes the damsel feel more helpless. It's just a total win.
