# Knotting-Tying

### Knotting/Tying Mechanic in AnE

For species with a knot, the system allows you to physically remain connected to your partner for a short duration using RLV. This functions similarly to RLV leashes, keeping both avatars together until one of the following conditions is met:

* Arousal decreases enough to allow release.
* The connection is forcibly removed/pulled out.

This feature enhances immersion by simulating the natural mechanics of knotting in applicable species.

### How to enable this functionality

For this feature to work both individuals need to enable the function within the AnE HUD's menu.
