## Just a little poll on TUG preferences

Post by Matthewtheman » Sun Dec 07, 2014 9:37 am

This is something I'm curious about. For me, I'm a male, and I prefer females get tied up. If you're having trouble figuring out where you stand, here's a handy guide:
Option 1 is for girls who prefer having other girls tied up and/or being tied up themselves
Option 2 is for guys who prefer having girls get tied up and/or being tied up themselves whilst pretending they're a girl
Option 3 is for girls who prefer having guys get tied up and/or being tied up themselves whilst pretending they're a guy
Option 4 is for guys who prefer having other guys get tied up and/or being tied up themselves.
Options 5 and 6 are for those who have absolutely no preference whatsoever, not even the slightest bit, towards one gender or the other being tied up.

I prefer M/M. To me, the idea of M/F seems just seems to relate too much to the usual dominance guys tend to be over girls outside of the spectrum of TUGs. That, and I'm mostly gay.....
And what about you, Matthew? What are your preferences?

Ditto for me. That, and I just much prefer being the one who is tied up, and most of my experience has been with other males (who in my experience at least are less shy about such things than females are - at least with other males).

I briefly stated my preferences in the OP, but I'll state them again anyway, this time in mire detail. I'm male, obviously, and I prefer females getting tied up. As far as the specifics go, I prefer F/F followed by M/F, and I don't really like F/M or M/M. I like F/F best when it comes to TUGs because another one of my turn-ons is lesbians, followed by M/F because the victim is the most important thing to me and so a guy tying her up and gagging her is still a turn-on. I'm not even slightly attracted to males, which is why I'm not a fan of male victims. In fact, I find the male genetalia to be disgusting, which may be why I prefer lesbians to straight or gay couples and why I'm not even slightly attracted to males, and why futanari is a major turn-off for me. I have no problem with gays though, as I'm an open minded person, I just happen to be entirely heterosexual. As for why girls being tied up and gagged turns me on, I guess I was just born that way.

I'm male and I chose no preference, although I should say that I'm much more picky with males I like to see tied up than I am with females.

That's pretty much true of all of us with our own particular choices.
Imo there's no one 'right' way for everyone; individuals have individual preferences (I almost said choices but that's the wrong word here). There's nothing wrong with going the way you were born with, as long as you respect the fact that the rest of us are the same way with what turns each of us on, whether we prefer males or females or to be tied or do the tying, as well as like 'extras' such as tickle-tortures, role-plays, and so on. The idea is for everyone to have fun. As long as that happens, there is no absolute 'right' way or 'wrong' way.

Im not sure really which option I would choose. As a guy I would prefer to be tied up by a girl but not while pretending to be anything. I guess option 4 in your mind covers that but it feels a bit odd to bundle that with liking guys getting tied up. Guess ill go with 6 since I dont mind switching even if I prefer to be the victim.

Sorry, I just scanned your post and didn't catch that part.
But I believe that's the way most straight guys feel. I believe it has something to do with the sex you're attracted to, because while I'm not completely grossed out by the female body, I am just not attracted to them nearly as much as guys. I really do believe we are born with the attraction, or at least we can't choose to be strait, gay, trans, bi, etc. I myself fought against it for many years, telling myself that "I'm straight." It's just not something you choose...
But you know, TUGs don't always have to be about sex. What about a non sexual encounter with a friend(male)?

I'm a male, I voted for female. There's something that arouses me about seeing the female form tied up, it's just a matter of choice.

This is true, but it does up the enjoyment factor even more when you are attracted to whoever you are playing with. With that said though I dont mind the idea of playing with a guy at all, especially if I am the one being tied.

Those, I don't mind, as long as I'm not the one being tied up. But I wouldn't use a gag, because while I'm neutral towards a guy just tied up, for some reason if he's gagged it's a straight up turn off. Though a girl who's just tied up doesn't turn me on either, she must be gagged as well. And I totally agree with you that one's sexual orientation, as well as their fetishes, are something they're born with, and have no control over.

I have to vote for no preference, because in certain situations men being tied up is fine. But if I had to choose I'd pick seeing women tied up, unless perhaps I'm the guy who's being tied.
I also don't agree with "we were born that way." My interests have definitely changed over the years.

This has been a little interesting to me for a while. Some of my very early experiences with TUGs involved playing with other boys, and my interests started when I was way too young for there to be any sexuality to them, and in many ways the nonsexual TUGs are still what I'm primarily interested in (I can't deny there is some sexual element involved now that I'm an adult though). So in that regard it really shouldn't matter, and to a point it doesn't. But even so, I'd rather be tied by a woman, or especially if I'm the one doing the tying, to tie up a woman. I'm not sure I can really explain it. If it's nonsexual it really shouldn't matter, should it? But at least to some extent, it does for me.

I don't see why the two concepts have to be mutually exclusive. The likes and dislikes you have from the beginning are strong of course, but they need not be set in stone. I've always felt that experiences also shape one's likes and dislikes through life as well; just not necessarily to an overwhelming degree in most cases. But I think most of us can agree that tastes can change over time; they just can't be forced against one's will.

Even though I identify as pans, if I was with a guy, I would prefer to be tied up, but I could tie him up. However, if I end up dating a non-binary or a female, I feel as though I would prefer to be tied up by them in any situation, and probably would avoid tying them up. I find it strange that my relationship dynamic is dependent on the gender of my partner, while my attraction is not...

I really love to tie up females. Bound males don't catch my fancy- and that's why I find your poll to be somewhat misguiding formulated- with all this "and/or pretending to be..."
A guy who pretends to be a girl doesn't interest me at all. So, actually, none of your option fits me the slightest.

Yes, I found the wording of the poll somewhat difficult myself but just went with it, since the male-male option fit me well enough. In my teens I'd been made to cross-dress a few times by a butch older girlfriend but I never identified as anything other than male. I've never had a Tug with anyone who openly pretended to be the opposite gender from the one they were either. Perhaps these are I still find TVs, trannies, or whatever the accepted term is these days difficult to understand or empathize with (as opposed to simple cross dressers, which don't bother me in the least provided they use the proper gender-specific public restrooms).

My preferences are pretty much the same as Matthew's. I have never experienced a non sexual TUG. I have engaged in many TUGs over the years, but they have always ended with some sexual interaction. Bondage, the act of it and even seeing a woman bound and gagged, causes me sexual arousal. Because TUGs and sexuality have always been linked for me, I could just never engage in one with a male (as a hetero myself) even if it was deemed "non sexual".

I prefer a female being tied up because they just look nicer. She can be tied by a male or a female and should be wearing some sort of sheer hosiery for added sexiness.
