Selfbondage Techniques

Postby TUfriend » Sun May 31, 2015 9:42 pm

Oh no, not another post asking for selfbondage techniques that will most likely go unanswered or answered with the usual "use ropes/belts/scarves/handcuffs with key in ice/etc." that they always get answered with. Well good thing this is not one of those.

I see this question asked a lot on this forum, usually once every few months: "What are some techniques I can use to tie myself up?" or any variation of the sorts. And often the answer is the same, either one of the above or the thread get left ignored by everyone. And that is fine, except most of the techniques people present are uncomfortable, difficult to execute, or require materials not everyone has. So this post is going to cover some of the techniques I use when I'm alone that are more comfortable and diverse than the usual answers. I also plan to cover step by step how to execute these techniques safely and how to escape.

First a bit of background. I am not a professional in any way, so please be careful if you try any of these techniques. Every situation is different and what works for me might not work for you. I "discovered" selfbondage when I was in my questioning phase when I was around 13 years old. I have found that I am not able to masturbate like a normal pubescent teenage male because porn just does not do it for me. But selfbondage provided me that release that I needed without the awkwardness of needing another person to get involved. However, for some people, selfbondage is not about getting off, and more about just relaxing without any cares(which is more what it is for me now). Whatever your motive, selfbondage, when done safely, can be a lot of fun when you're home alone with nothing to do.

I'm going to say it again and I'm going to keep saying it, selfbondage can be dangerous if you don't pay attention to what you are doing. Please, execute the most extreme caution if you decide to try these. I don't want to be responsible for you getting injured or your death in any way. Some of my personal rules for myself when I tie myself up:
  1. Always have a second release mechanism. I can't tell you how many times I've forgotten to set up the initial release mechanism, that if I hadn't set up the secondary one, I would definitely have been caugh.
  2. Make sure someone you trust will be able to untie you if you get stuck. For me, this meant my parents or sister coming home or my dorm roommate comeing back while I was still tied up. The worst thing that could happen is you get in trouble. It's better than dying of starvation or losing a limb(although still possible) because you couldn't get out.
  3. Nothing around the neck. Even if it's something that can't tighten, it could still get caught. (I have one pseudo exception to this, but that's because without it, the entire technique wouldn't work).
  4. I personally stopped doing gags because my nose gets clogged easily and I wouldn't want that to happen while in bondage. If you do intend to use a gag, be sure that you will be able to breathe well through your nose or through the gag.

In addition to safety, for me, I like to be comfortable when I tie myself up. This means no pain, especially around the wrist. There are a lot of things that cause pain around the wrist. For this reason, I don't use zip ties on any body part because they are too narrow and uncomfortable, even when they aren't tight. If I'm going to use rope, I use multiple wrappings because one strand of rope is too narrow. Multiple wrappings distributes the weight evenly across a wider surface. I've found that the more area a bond covers, the more comfortable it is. Additionally, handcuffs don't go around my wrists because they chaff and have the same problem of being too narrow. Lastly tape on hair can be a b*tch. For the most part, if I'm going to use tape on a specific area, I wear clothing on that area. If I don't have clothing that covers that area, sometimes I'll cover it with saran wrap before using tape. Otherwise, depending on how discrete it is, I'll shave that area.

So, now that that's out of the way, here are some of the selfbondage techniques that I have found effective over the past few years.

Duct Tape to Desk Chair
One of the first things I discovered how to do comes from an episode of CSI: NY

Hammock net
For this one, I got lucky because I have two posts in my basement that are the perfect distance apart to hang up a hammock. You may not be so lucky and have to do this outside with trees. Or don't do this.

Duct Tape Harness
For this one you need some sort of horizontal beam or bar strong enough to hold your weight.

+==============================+

Saran Wrap Mummy
This one gets hot. I only do this in the winter or in the summer when the AC is cranked to the max. This one is fun(and easier) to do naked or barely clothed.

+==============================+

Sweater straight jacket
This one usually takes me the least amount of time to actually execute which meant I could do it when my roommate went to class.

Dorm Room Spread Eagle
I figured this one out early my first year of college.

+==============================+

+==============================+

Trash Bag Vacuum Bed
This one actually was not inspired by the ever famous vac bed, but rather by a physics experiment.

+==============================+


I WILL SAY IT SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THIS SECTION, NEVER PUT YOUR HEAD INSIDE AN UNPROFESSIONALLY MADE VACUUM BED. NO MATTER HOW SAFE YOU THINK YOU ARE BEING, YOU AREN'T.

That being said, if executed safely, this is one of the most satisfying of all of the techniques I talk about here.

+==============================+

Exercise Ball Front Hog Tie
I don't remember how I thought this one up, but it's great for quick release.

+==============================+


Materials:

Setup:

Process:

Escape:

NOTE: This can also be done in reverse for a more traditional hogtie behind your back, but be aware this is much more difficult to escape from. It was the only time I have ever been truly terrified I wouldn't escape before my parents got home. I'll leave it to you to figure out how to get in. I got out by sliding one of my hands out of its belt that it was tied in.

+==============================+


So this has been some of the most successful techniques I have used to tie myself up comfortably for the past 6 years. Please, I cannot emphasize safety enough. Think before you act. Ask yourself what could go wrong and learn from your mistakes. I have managed to avoid getting caught for 6 years because I always think about how to escape and what could go wrong.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Also, post your own inventive techniques in the comments. Let's break out of the same, old, boring, uncomfortable selfbondage techniques.

TUfriend, your easy step-by-step instructions should to be very helpful to some newbie self-binders browsing this site, I am sure! Very nicely done, indeed! Glad that you warned several times about the use of plastic bags... that can't be stressed enough.

Can you explain the part about using a pillow/comforter in the Trash Bag Vaccum a bit more clearly? Wouldn't the pillow or comforter likely block the head of the vacuum?

Actually, because the pillow or comforter is porous, it helps the vacuum distribute the "sucking power" across the entire bag. Without it, there is a chance that your skin and the vacuum will seal off only one section of the bag with little to no suction in the rest of the bag. This could pop the bag or leave a vacuum head shaped hickey on your skin. You don't need the pillow/blanket, but I found it makes the vacuum seal much tighter than without it.

I think the parts that confusing me, you mean a pillow case or an actual pillow?

Also I found taping the bag around my neck from the inside kind of difficult, any tips for that step?

The actual pillow.

As for taping it from the inside, I usually bring a piece of tape inside with me, scrunch up the bag around my neck and wrap the tape around the mouth that I have scrunched up.

Posts like this would have been helpful before the internet age, but then again the internet would've been helpful too!

I got into some self-bondage scrapes in the past and used to rely on scissors to get free. But I did have one experience where I let my feelings over-rule common sense and hogtied myself inside the small bedroom in the house I was doing up. So I stripped naked outside the room, went inside with nothing but bootlace as rope and made the loops. It was so quick and easy yet that was the longest and scariest 18+ hours of my life so far. It was just by sheer luck that I was able to get free but it could've been much worse.

Thing is though (and this is bad I know), I'd risk it again.

U should record how to create some. I will edit them together because I think visual is better than explanation.
