To tie or be Tied... Which Do You prefer?

Postby Jason Toddman » Sat Jun 18, 2011 9:08 pm

Assuming you're with someone else you want to play TUGs with very much, do you prefer to be tied up by someone else, do the tying, or you like both the same?
There seems to be some debate in some circles as to whether members here perfer to be tied up or prefer to do the tying. If there's been a poll like this before here, I haven't found it, so here it is now.
Which option do you prefer, and by how much?

"I sometimes want to tie the other person up, but more often I prefer being the one tied up." would be the closest choice for me.

I think it'd be fun to tie the other person up to test my abilities based off my experiences of being tied up. However, I enjoy being the one tied,wrapped, banded,or strapped. I guess I could go either way.

"I occasionally want to tie the other person up, but usually I prefer being the one who is tied up"

I had a hard time choosing between that one and always wanting to be tied up. Nowadays, I only ever want to be tied up - simply for the fact that my fiance is male and he is the only person and do bondage with and I don't enjoy tying up men and he hates being tied up himself. I've had some past experiences with women where I have been the dominant one though which were also a lot of fun :)

It seems my position on this one is the most popular. My preference is to be tied, but I wouldn't mind doing the tying either. There are a lot more submissives than dominants about, it seems to me. Any of my friends that I know are into bondage are all subs. So if I was going to play a TUG or something like that, chances are I would end up doing the tying. Though I would probably insist that we alternate.

I can go either way, depending on my mood and what exactly the type of scenario is.

Well...for me it's simple. I don't like to be tied up. But I do like to tie others up a lot. So I reckon I am one of the rare "pure tops" here :-)

Technicly I've only ever properly been tied up by myself (a few light restraint for fun things have happend but when I say light I mean it. Just stuff like being submerged in my sleeping bag fully sealed (it has air holes due to how badly I take care of it and seals all the way up in a way so it can't be opened from the inside if someone else is outside and being locked in a cramped cupboard with air holes) but I am still certain I prefer being tied up only not tying (all the light ones, the kind of enjoyment I get from selfbondage and my fantasys are all this way). 100% certain.

If all your experiences are self-onflicted, you're going to need to explain that submerged sleeping bag thing and locked in a cupboard business in more detail sometime!!! :shock: Maybe your user name should be Harry Houdini II! :big:

We had a different member here who said he was unable to vote either. We never did figure out what the problem was; but some of us speculated it might have been his web browser. I am sure it has nothing to any intentional blocking by the people who run this website. If you don't mind my asking, what operating system and web browser do you use? It is possible that some are incompatible with the polling system, so that you aren't able to vote because it won't interact with the polling program here.
You could also contact an admin (like Zanev) and ask him if they know what is wrong.

i use Win.XP professional and firefox 4 as the browser...i also tried it with Internet explorer but nothing changed :(
anyway my choice from the below is the 5th one: "I occasionally want to tie the other person up, but usually I prefer being the one who is tied up."
however i doubt i can handle the tying part as well, but like to be tied up...maybe one day!*sigh!*
oh and thnx jason for replying and caring about my problem, really appreciate that :D

I always like to try to help, even if I don't always do a good job of it. I still suggest trying to get an admin to look into the problem, although as long as you can post topics it's probably no big deal. I don't vote very often on these things myself, and I rarely se polls conducted here anymore anyway.

Hey Ana - you have to have JavaScript enabled to vote. It should be in your preferences, and should work, but sometimes it gets disabled because it's "safer". In Firefox 4, go to Tools > Options > Content and make sure the "Enable JavaScript" checkbox is selected. That should help.

Now, to answer the question: I usually do the tying, but every once in a while, I like to be tied too. My ratio is more like 98% tying to 2% getting tied, but the few times I was tied, I enjoyed it very much. Mainly because the woman that did it was very good and sensual. Lucky me!
Walk the mile first... then have the fun!

"The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again."

I prefer to be the one tied up! :)

I select the next to last option though. I'll tie someone else up, but unless I know I'm going to join in on the fun, I can't fully enjoy myself.

Pretty much the way I feel; tat's the selection I chose myself. Seems to be the most popular option here, too. :D

Of course, even if a large group of us got together somehow, this would be fine. As long as there was someone around like Dingbatman who much preferred doing the tying, we could *all* be happy! :big:

It is safer to block JavaScript unless you trust a site. Happily, there is a Firefox extension called Noscript that blocks JavaScript by default, but will let you turn it on for trusted sites very easily. To get it, visit noscript.net.
