## Is being held down tug?

Post by Jay Feely » Sun Dec 27, 2015 5:28 pm

does being held down, arm and leg by more than one person to a point you can't move and subjected to light or heavy torture. considered to be tug? Or does only being tied up count?
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.

Well, it's a way to imobilized someone while being under "torture" by others x3! I do believe that they have the same purpose, but I think that TUG involves indeed someone be tied up someway, be that by ropes or another think x3!
Maybe that can fit better if talking about domination ! Someone being forced to submit while other dominates it :3!
Imagine that this is you~
That's right, now shut up and be a good boy~! <3

I think tug could include any restraint. We do a lot on here that isn't technically tying (like tape) so I dunno why getting pinned down wouldn't count. Not to mention that it feels awesome, warm, soft... while still being as harsh as the captor wants!! I personally love it.

Being held down is just that. It is a different feeling to actually being tied up and the person holding you down can increase or decrease the pressure at any time and is sometimes a lot more uncomfortable than being tied up. So no it is not tug.

I'm with TickledToes. I consider any form of restraint to be a TUG really. Cling film, handcuffs, and tape are things considered a TUG on this site even though nothing is being tied. Being held down really is no different to me.

This actually gets into the dsm labeling system. We who handgag and subdue also tend to like doing so with ropes, scarves, tape, etc. However, in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual that Psychiatrists use, anything with objects involved (cloth, tape) in sexual context (we probably get chalked up to foreplay) is paraphilia. I think there is more going on here than just an isolated psychological diagnosis personally, and believe this phenomenon (TUGs) are shared through wide swaths of the population worldwide. At some point you have to recognize it as part of human identity instead of displacing it as an oddity.
Thanks for posting this thread.
To tie or be tied? I'm not one to care as long as there are gags!

Is there any communities what is specifically about being held down in different ways? I would like to try out different pins with someone holding me down for long periods of time.

Sign me up! I much prefer being held down by someone than by ropes; makes it all so much more awesome for me.

Schoolboy pins look quite interesting and want to have that tried on me. Also, a face down pin with the pinner's arms wrapped round my upper body while using his weight to hold down the rest of my body.
