bondage questions

[THAsokrtryxtr]

Hello all,

Fairly inexperienced with bondage, but I am attempting to do it soon. My friend and I do not want to spend money on anything kinky (shackles, chains, etc) due to self-consciousness. What are other alternatives for tying someone down to a bed?

Thank you!

(Right off, I also have had no prior experience with bondage, but doesn't mean my imagination hasn't 😉)
I'd say... anything. Really, anything: pants (flexible - preferably not denim, as that sounds too thick to make a nice, tight knot), shirts, if you have any thigh-high socks... Anything thin/loose/flexible enough you can twist it up you can use as 'makeshift' bondage. Just, don't count on it being in the same condition afterwards it's gone through such strenuous pulling, tugging, stretching, and yanking.

Also, if you have any ropes lying around, that offers the best, most obvious option. Just might want to 'cushion' it, wrapping a piece of clothing around the rope to downgrade any potential chaffing.

All I can think of immediately.



All the best, and please tell us how your experience goes! :cool

My hubby and I like using long, soft, strong scarves....but you gotta make certain the knots are on the back of the wrists, not in front, or else it cuts off circulation.

As for tools that tickle but don't require a trip to the local sex shop....My hubby has used paint brushes from the local art store and massagers from Brookstone. Lotion on the feet and anything with menthol can make the skin more sensitive.

Also, while you feel self conscious about walking into a sex shop, you can buy a lot online and some products, such as Karma Sutra, have made there way into mainstream stores:

Enjoy!

If you're looking into more sessions down the road, I'd strongly advise investing in a good set of rope. It's the perfect bondage utility to have, as you can say it's for any sort of project, or simply having it for convenience, if someone asks. If you're just starting out, try looking into simple 3/8'' or 1/4'' braided synthetic coreless rope that you can find at a hardware store - they sell 'em at lengths of 50', 100', etc, but what you can do is cut out different lengths and finish the ends either by melting them or taping them.

Even though inexperienced with bondage, there are some simple techniques one can use with rope that anybody can do, and rope is very versatile when it comes to bondage. There's one simple and quick technique I've learned that can transform a length of rope into a "cuff" for individual wrists or ankles, that you can then tie to a corner of a bed just as a set of "kinky" cuffs can do.

Here is one form of the technique. Simple, right? The thing to remember about rope is that the more surface area of rope touching your skin, the less pressure you'll have in one particular spot (and the less chance of limbs losing circulation too quickly or worse. That said, using something to cushion the rope should it be a single loop as sadistictcklr mentioned will not work very well. Just make sure you do your research and not half-ass anything; even using gentle materials like long socks or scarves can be very dangerous if you're tying someone up in a bad way.


TLDR: If you're gonna MacGyver a bondage scene where lots of movement or thrashing is involved (like from tickle-torture), or if you use something like rope (which can be very versatile), it pays to look up online techniques and safety tips before the scene.

Before we acquired some of our newer gear, me and Karen used to use scarves as well. Ropes, or anything rope-like (even thick shoelaces) is good, but you have to be careful not to tie it too tightly (unless you're into that type of thing), as the biting of tight ropes sometimes detracts from the tickling itself.

Actually, big thick shoelaces I mentioned - that's not a bad idea. The real chunky ones if possible. You might have to get a bit creative in tying them together, but they're totally inconspicuous, easy to find, and very versatile.

All the best! 🙂 Would love to hear how it went if you'd be willing to share.

Did not know that info, so thanks in advance, Dale. 😉

Also just to add onto this, I have yet to try it myself but I have heard plastic wrap is really good at immobilization if that's the kinda bonding you're going for

Posting a secondary suggestion here( please note my earlier post is much more practical!)...don't know where you might get it, but bungee chord seems like it would be fun if coveted with a soft material. Actually surprised there isn't a product "out there" that doesn't have cuffs attached to either end of one.
