Most of the times I do tie up games with my wife, but we have a family friend whom I have known for years I'll call Jay
I found out Jay might be interested in TUGs a few years ago. He was helping with security at a function and he bought a pair of handcuffs. It wasn't something he needed but he obviously liked them and he let me "try them on."
Anyway, last evening I had a little extra time and he did too, so he came over and I asked him if he wanted to try a TUG. When we do try this, I occasionally tie him up but more often we have a little contest that I can get out of a tie he puts me in. The last time we did this he tied me up 3 times and I got out all 3 times, albeit with great effort. He seems to increase his skill at tying each time.
Last night he seemed eager to try again since I was able to escape last time. He had me sit in a chair and I thought he was going to tie me to the chair but he did not. I crossed my wrists behind me and he proceeded to start wrapping rope around my wrists. In the past he's had a bad habit of getting too fancy and not tying knots often enough making it easy to escape. Of course, with my hands behind me I can't see exactly what he's doing. He wrapped rope in the horizontal and vertical, tying it off several times. He also would wrap rope around each wrist individually and tie that off as well. He used quite a lot of rope. I estimated when he was done that each wrist was wrapped with 6-8 strands.
When he was done, I immediately stood up since I was not tied to the chair and tested my bonds. I was tied tight and there was so much rope used my wrists were pretty well locked together. A very good tie but escapable? I had to see. I tried to reach for knots. I walked over to a mirror and was able to view the tie. Because my wrists were bound with so much rope, I could not move around enough to even get my fingers close to a knot, and there was no other way to excape. After about 10 minutes, I admitted defeat and he untied me. However, that was not the end...
