1) Introduction

I have enjoyed tying up games, which I now know to be called 'bondage' for almost as long as I can remember. I would have been 8 or 9 when I was tied up for the first time by my two 7 and 11 year old female cousins as retaliation for giving them too much cheek. I think it was that experience which really introduced me to the joys of being bound...

Not only was it the first time that I ever got to be tied up, it was also the first experience which I can still remember almost as clearly as if it was yesterday. Amazing isn't it?

There is even a word for that kind of recall. Selective memory retention…

A little like selective hearing. I always used to have trouble hearing my teachers when it came to homework announcements. I think you get the idea…

I think I was luckier than most in that I met friends who also enjoyed the same kinds of games I did. There was the lovely Nicole whom I used to spend so much time with…

Because we were both born within months of each other, Nicky and myself ended up growing up together and so she became my closest friend. We used to do just about everything together and eventually, we discovered the joys of… tie-up games! (Neither of us had any idea that there was a word for our far more innocent activities - bondage!) We ended up spending a lot of time tying each other up! Unfortunately, our games more or less petered out once we reached our late teens. Although Nicky enjoyed them as well, they nearly always affected me far more than her.

Then there was the scout group, which I was heavily involved with for many years. I was frequently on the 'wrong end' of the knot practise games we occasionally indulged in… But they were fun… No wonder I always looked forwards to weekly meetings! They were educational but not in a way my parents could ever have guessed.

Lastly, I met one of my best mates at school and so it was that we spend quite a bit of time tying each other up to see who could escape or not. Because we were also great James Bond fans, our competitions often involved a strong role-playing element. Each of us would take turns to be Blofeld or James Bond and therefore the fate of the world frequently depended on whether 007 could escape from his 'bonds' before the bomb went off!
