## How Early Does It Start?

Post by tritied » Tue Dec 27, 2011 6:45 am

This isn't a traditional TUG story, more a discussion of my observations.
Those of us on this forum know the desire/need to be tied up or tie someone up starts pretty young, but just how young? We can all review the directory posted here; the majority of the folks on there claim they are in their early teens. Certainly I started with it then, or well before.
I'm a father of two and my 6 year old daughter started showing signs of enjoying both sides of the game at least two years ago. She was constantly building little jails for herself made of rows of toys or little columns of blocks. She would sit in her "cell" and stare forlornly at us as we walked around. She would even wrap her little wrists up in play necklaces, scarves, whatever she could find. We've even found her wrapping things around her ankles.
The kicker was when we got a policeman and fireman dress up set. Almost instantly she was cuffing her little brother's hands behind his back with the little plastic cuffs. She starting doing it with friends and play dates. It was crazy! I had to take them from her and hide them.
Ok, I know that is hypocritical, but I don't want our friends to avoid coming over because they are afraid my little daughter will tie up their kids.
Keep in mind, she has never seen ANY of my games with my wife. She's never caught us at it and she can't reach my bag of goodies yet.
At the point she was doing this, she had never even seen a show with cops in it. How did she know to cuff the hands behind the back? It was completely instinctual.
Being me, I can easily recognize what's going on. My wife having married me (and my needs) she recognizes it too and rolls her eyes at me.
It just amazes me that it manifests THAT early. Talk about nature versus nurture!
Anyone have anything to add? Similar experiences, or evidence of your early beginnings?
I guess my "Birds & Bees" conversation with her will be a little more complex than most parents.

Very interesting posts. I guess I do recall taping myself to the coffee table with scotch tape when I was say 6? I really wanted too, but I had no idea why.
I see similar things as my youngest sister grows older as well.

I was the same. I remember when I was 4 wrapping myself up in a blanket like a mummy. I have always look forward to such scenes on t.v. as long as I can remember.

Interesting happenstance today - I came home from seeing a movie, and as I walked into the kitchen, I found my youngest sister (8) and her friend (also 8 ), tying each other up with scarves. What makes it interesting is that the friend in question is the younger sister of my sometimes tug partner, her older brother. I'm quite certain that there is no way she could have ever found out about our activities, so it raises the question, is it natural?

They used to tie you up!

I didn't recognize you without the handcuffs

I've been into TUGs for as long as I can remember. And since I'm just 19, "as long as I remember" goes way back. I remember being infatuated with shows with tons of bondage in them: Batman TAS, Scooby Doo, etc. (I think Catwoman and Daphne guided me through puberty. )
Also an interesting note, my story "What is it with girls and tape?" isn't the first time I tied up my friend's little sister. She had been asking me to tie her up since she was 9. It's fascinating, really.

i was about 4 years old when i started with this kinds of games. if my memory is correct it all started by watching damsels in distress on tv.
the first time i did these kind of games i tied up the girl next door to a tree in our backyard with a rope i found that i think my dad had used for our boat and forgotten to pick up. at that very moment i knew that wanted to tie up my friend, and i tied her up a lot after that.
but for some reason i never been into getting tied up myself. i just like tying up others. don't know why...

The earliest I remember was when I was about 5 or 6. I wrapped my legs and arms up in a vacuum chord. My interest has never faded since then!

Same for me, very early, around 5 as I can remember tying up mu action figures and wishing it was me and eventually, wrapping myself in blankets to mummify myself and then onto self tying, which I got pretty good at.

Oh I ALWAYS tied up my sister's Barbies. In fact, it's kind of embarrassing, because even now my family likes to bring it up in front of other relatives.

I'm glad our "hobby" is becoming more and more mainstream, but I can't picture Mattel marketing Bondage Barbie and Kinky Ken dolls in the forseable future.

My daughter is adopted. She shows no real interest, but then there is no genetic connection so that is interesting. Always an interesting question, genetics vs. environment.
As for me, I was a strong willed child. I remember being particularly rambunctious one day at my grandparent's house. My grandmother told me if I didn't calm down she would tie me up. I dared her to and she did. Mind you, she had not ever done this to me before and I can't remember it again. As I remember it, it was kind of a one time deal, not ongoing (darn ). I was probably only 5 or 6. She pretty well mummified me with a long rope from ankles to shoulders. My arms were totally immobilized to my body. I remember writhing around on the floor. It was really fun. I couldn't get out. I have enjoyed it ever since.
However, to be clear, I have no interest in the sexually oriented and gay oriented bondage which too often shows up on this site and elsewhere. Damsel in distress, sure, but not all this kinky crap with nudity. I thought this site was supposed to stay clear of that stuff. Anyway, that's my experience.

Are you offended by my avatar, then? Because I've always kept the intimate stuff to the intimate page so people can experience the hobby how they want. But maybe my avatar is a little too over the top for general viewing then. Of course, I cropped the picture at my knees on purpose..

I wasn't referring to you.
Too many intimate and voyeuristic stories flood into the true and fiction sections. If you're 15 and lusty, go somewhere else! It makes me not even want ot be here when it seems like every story is gay bondage and pictures include bound transvestites, which happens at times. Really? Don't they have other sites for that garbage?

BTW, that avatar is pretty tame compared to the garbage I am referring to.
