How Can You Tell...?

Postby Scottstud94 » Thu Dec 02, 2010 1:41 pm

If someones into TUGS and stuff like that. Are there any sort of body movements, hinting, or something along those lines where you could find out if they are into TUGS without talking to them?

Stake out the local hardware store and see who's buying gobs of rope and chain!! Maybe we should all have to wear a chain or leather collar, or maybe a single wrist restraint so we could find each other... I'm game! :lol:

well, at one time, there was something called the "handkerchief code" where people who are into TUGs and bondage wore a bandana in their pockets (usually their back). That is how I discovered one of my now frequent TUG buddies

It used to be a gray bandana--right pocket for bottom, left pocket for top. You might also look for tell-tale rope marks on someone's arms. That's a good sign.

I like the idea of a bracelet or something like that. Or maybe a symbol. Maybe a silver bracelet, with TUG on it. lol

Maybe someone could design a long-sleeve t-shirt or turtleneck with ropes going all around it, to make it "appear" that they are tied up.
Could even have a drawing of a pair of arms and hands tied behind the back.
That would be a definite hint, it would seem.

If I can hide it beneath a hoodie or sweater, I like to wear a chain with small padlock around my neck.... a like-minded TUGger would be more likely to take notice than others... I would think.

Look at their facial expression when they view bondage scenes in movies. If they seem intrigued about it, their facial expression will give you an indication. Maybe they are writing a story, and seems like the theme of bondage keeps popping up. They may have fantasies written down in their journal or dairy and that would give you a hint in their lifestyle. Once, my friend has a pair of handcuffs dangling from his jeans pocket, and it was Halloween. Maybe he wanted to a cop, so I did not question his interest in tugs because it may backfire. However, later on during the night, my friend and I was sitting at a restaurant table, when he handcuffed me to the table. He then admitted to everyone that he liked seeing people tied up and in restraints and the same applies to him. The indirect exposure was not seen until it was combined with a direct exposure remark that he made later. Just pay attention to how they react, what they do, and everything else to get an idea if they are interested or not.
You will have to subdue me to restrain me. I been a bad boy so make sure you torture me too with anything but pain.

I think the gray bandanna in the back pocket is a great idea. Its obvious yet discreet at the same time. You wouldn't pay it any mind if you weren't looking for it, yet you'd know where to look in order to peg somebody. It'd have to be gray tho, as some people like bandannas as it is. (I tie a red one around my left knee for kicks.) So, a gray bandanna to identify us all as tuggers. I'm doing it.

Or, another good idea is a strip of duct tape around a knee or wrist

Grey bandana, back pocket I'm doing it. We should write a small "t" on it just to be sure. Quick make it worldwide!

Ok second thought after research. No. The handkerchief code was a 70's thing but Is still used primarilly for gay males seeking different things. Go with a wristband or something with (Gray for bondage) being the color of choice. But no to the handkerchief idea.

Ooohhhhhhhhhh..... Failure.

perhaps a strip of duct tape around the wrist

On Amazon.com there are any number of bondage t-shirts--some quite obvious. Check it out.

I've got it. We put a piece of duct tape around one wrist, and wear braclits made of rope over it. Tiers on the left arm, tie-ees on the right. It;ll work. It's reasonably discreet, as many people wear those kinds of braclits, but if you see them together, you've found yourself a TUGs Buddy!

I agree, Jake..... I'll have to add charcoal to my list as well! I would think that latex and rubber go hand in hand.


XTC... Not quite sure what you're confused about. The colors are for bandanas that would indicate BDSM preferences. I guess they could be displayed anywhere. Tied around the wrist, or around the forehead, for example. However, when displayed in the back jeans pocket.... left side indicates the dom/top side, while the right side is for subs/bottoms.

I always thought the white handkerchief in either pocket meant, "I might need to blow my nose." :)

Yeah but...Back pocket ;)


Actually, that's where I normally carry my handkerchief (which I use much more for wiping excess rosin off the strings of my instrument than I do to blow my nose). But I don't let it stick out, at least not intentionally. I never liked carrying my wallet in my back pocket, though I know many guys do.

If she's wearing this, it's a good sign.
