Tying up your toys??

Postby snobound » Tue Sep 14, 2010 1:07 pm

All the time I've spent writing lately has caused me to do some serious reflection on the true depths of my depravity. I've thought a lot about the very first signs of my inclination toward bondage. I was tying myself up by age eight or nine, and was actively seeking out opportunities for TUGs with others by age ten. I was always the one to suggest games/activities that could lead to getting tied up. My bondage experiences turned more intimate by age fourteen or fifteen. My obsession has only intensified since, and I don't really know how much farther it can be taken. Anyway...

So, back to my reflections on my earliest bondage-related thoughts. It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but I used to tie up my toys- and "toys" isn't a euphamism in this case. I mean toys like my GI Joes and other action figures. I would use yarn and thread pilfered from my grandmother. I tied them in a variety of positions, imagining scenarios that might result in guys getting tied up in real life. I acquired two sets of cheapo handcuffs when I was very young, and had this plush astronaut dressed in a space suit that I would handcuff. I would also put the second pair on his ankles. One time, I even went so far as to hogtie the toy with both sets linked up. I wasn't really old enough to understand these urges, though knew enough to assume it was somehow wrong or weird. I also knew that I BADLY wanted to be tied like my toys, though I always kept these activities to myself.

My question is this... How weird is this? Did anyone else engage in such strange activties? Why would I have assumed, at seven or eight years old, that my behavior was somehow deviant? See what deep introspection gets you! It makes you nuts.

me and my friend who I will call by his initials "AS" used to tie up his stuffed animals like experts. I think that he is into TUGs because we did that so many times, tying them to the bed posts, gagging them, and he also was once tied up by his brother when I was there (just tied to the doorknob with some blue rope) , so it may have been a normal thing, once he asked me to tie his hands behind his back, and finally, we had these games with one of his friends where it was "war", and we would take each other prisoner (as a side thing) and use handcuffs that he had

I was never brave enough to ask though

That's the thing. It's a fine line between suggesting/pushing activitities that might result in bondage, and having your friends realize you just like being tied up. That would have been the perfect world- "Hey guys, let's play cops and robbers, but just cut right to the bondage!"

That's what's so nice about this site. We don't have to "feel each other out"- we all know where we stand!

I was geting tied up on a regular basis from such an early age I never felt any need to tie up my toys; on the other hand, you could say I was my older brothers tie-up toy!
But being artistic from an early age, what I did was draw comic books about tie-up situations starting from the age of 10! By the time I was 12 I was depicting situations graphic enough to make them PG-17 rated and was drawing X-rated before I turned 13. That was probably on the same line as tying up toys; I think. I had to keep the things carefully hidden though, as you can imagine.

I can hardly believe Snobound broached this question, because I haven't thought about this in years! Yes, for a short time, maybe some months, when I was around 7 or 8 years old, I would rope tie and cloth gag my old toy figures in various positions. Then I graduated to tying my ankles together, and advanced to using toy handcuffs or rope on my wrists (in front, where I could see what I was doing). There was always the fear that I would be terribly embarrassed if anyone discovered these activities.

This is the thing that I'm really curious about. I was doing the same things around age seven or eight. I really had no idea why I was doing it, knowing only that it excited me somehow. Why did we feel the need to hide these activities? It's not like parents would warn us of the perils of bondage as if it were on par with drugs/alcohol or something. Was it instinct? Was it because we didn't see others engaged in it? Did we feel guilty about enjoying it so much? I just don't get it. Why didn't I run up to my dad yelling "Look, look! I hogtied Megatron!"

Any psychologists out there???

I'm curious. Did your brother discover bondage on his own, or was he simply responding to your urges? Or, did you develop your affinity for bondage in response to your brother? Maybe bondage is genetic!

Possibly both. I think that my brother learned about tie-ups from a different set of cousins we had who lived nearby us when I was little. My father's older brother had three sons, all older than my brother and me, and I get the impression that they were also in TUGs; I am unsure because they moved away about the same time (when I was 5) my brother started tying me up himself and I rarely saw them afterward. I found out from my mom long after he died that my dad had been into TUGs himself; he kept wanting to tie her up!
As Ike was my older brother by 4 years, I think he was responding to his own urges and I was available and much weaker than he was.
I'd say I developed my affinity for bondage both by genetics and because I got tied up a lot.
However, with my maternal cousins (the ones I write my true tug stories about, not the ones mentioned above), I think they *were* at least in part responding to my urges, although they had already been active in TUGs themselves before I got involved with them. They had already known from my brother that I liked being tied up, and I think they somehow knew I was fantasizing about many of the things they eventually did with me before they did them. Probably my brother, since he'd known about some of them himself. The whole thing is so complex and so long ago though that it's hard to figure who started doing what to who for whatever reason. I didn't think about it at the time: I simply went along with it and eventually grew to enjoy being tied up after a while - and (surprise!) enjoyed being sat on even more (almost to the point of obsession, in fact) when my cousins started doing it to me when I turned 13.

It's kinda odd because I never really thought about it - but yeah, I did!! What's really strange about it is that I didn't realise I had any inclination towards bondage or TUGs until my mid-late teenage years. I guess it could've just been a kid playing around with toys and trying to find exciting things to do with them, but it is kida fun to think it might've been something subconscious and I was always destined to be a little TUGger! xD

But no, I had a load of Barbies when I was a kid and one of my favourite storylines was that one of them was a famous moviestar or singer who got kidnapped and they would invariably be kept in a corner of my room tied up and gagged (usually with paper - Barbies dont tend to come with teeny tiny ropes and handcuffs) until theywere "rescued".

Sure, especially with dom and sub accesories for each. Black leather outfits; whips; chains, handcuggs, spreader bars, cages... the works.
Make them anatomically correct too, and make several versions of each figure so that you could have two Barbies or two Kens who don't look identical for those who prefer same gender play as well.
You couldn't sell them to kids probably, but they'd still sell like hotcakes for adults! :twisted:

Well, we couldn't sell them as Barbie and Ken of course; that'd violate copyright laws. Bu you could make the figures nominally different in size and appearance from the original figures and sell them as Bondage Ben and Kinky Cathy, or something like that. This is asuming that aren't already bondage action figures like this already on the market somewhere. Even if there are, as long as you invent your own names, characters and props I think they'd violate no copyright laws.
Other laws, that I don't know about for sure. As long as no one tried to sell them to children though, I think it's be okay.
Sounds like an entrepreneurial dream though, doesn't it? :twisted: Bet it'd actually sell among adults, too.
What might sell among kids would be boy scout action figures - complete with ropes for making knots! :twisted:

As for the startup loan, you only need to say you want to market a new set of action figures; you probably would not need to describe them in too much detail- if pressed, just say Cathy and Ben modeling the latest in leather fashions! :twisted:

I've wanted one since I was about 18. I have a set of detailed plans for a kickass one that could be disassembled, though I don't know how I could explain away black 2x8s bristling with eyebolts if it were to be discovered. It's been hard enough to stash away the spineboard I bought a couple years ago. Sigh.... I need a secret room.

Oh yes... the dolls. Actually we were discussing full size furniture like St. Andrews crosses too, but I guess there's already a patent on those.
So, how would we go about designing and then marketing the dolls (whatever we decided to call them)? I haven't a clue about how such things are actually done!

Guilty on the barbie bondage. I would pick one of my sisters many barbies and use scotch tape to bind and gag them. At the time it was the best way I could act out my fetish..... although one time I got away with tying my little sister as a "game"....I tied her legs together and arms behind her with duct tape and hid her under a bed for my brother to find.....and I just realized I should find the time to post that full story..... ;)

Not weird at all. I was bitten by the bondage bug at an even earlier age than 8. Though the urges were dormant for a few years......

I'd find abandoned baby dolls of my older sister's and tie and gag them with my socks, I remember that. In my preteen and early teen years my dad moved his shoe store to a new location uptown, in an old jewelry store, where he found one of their old window display props, a Skipper doll (Skipper was Barbi's sister) in a wedding gown. When I knew I was able I pilfered it and bound her with string, then gagged her with a white shoelace or tape. Later on I purchased a poseable doll from the Barbi line and they spent time gagged and tied back to back or beside each other.

I loved the idea of tie-up games, but my interest in being tied up was so great that I was afraid of what would happen if my friends/schoolmates/playmates found out. One time I was at a friend's house with other neighborhood kids, one a girl, and someone in the group suggested a "kidnap" game: half of us would be the kidnappers and the other half would be the hostages. I was chosen to be one of the hostages and there was a search for things to tie us all up with. The girl was also chosen to be a hostage, she was right in there and up for the game. I was up for it but terrified, what if they found me out?? I was relieved when the mom called upstairs and said it was time for everyone to go home, and I still think of that day today and wonder how much fun it would've been, my first time tied up by someone else and struggling with others tied up just like me......

I played with one of those boys later on, at my house, in the attic, played a kidnap game where I kidnapped him and kept him bound and gagged to a chair, and it was supposed to end with his escape while I slept and his tying and gagging me. When we got to my capture I was amazed and scared after he tied me up, I honestly couldn't get free! The fear tripled when I heard the call to dinner! And tripled again when I heard footsteps while I, now ungagged, tried to get him to untie me! Too late, there appeared my dad and my sister, both seeing me all tied up on the floor of the attic. To them, amusing. To me, devastating! But thankfully, nobody ever made the connection between my being tied up and my love for being tied up.

So no, you're not alone :)

Then there was the time I met the friend who would end up being my lifelong bondage playmate, if there's any interest I'll relay a few of those adventures and how it all began :)
