## Tied to a tree

Post by Gemscot » Thu Dec 11, 2008 11:18 am

About three years ago, my two cousins and I tied Paul to the tree in my cousins's back yard when we were staying with them during the summer holidays. It was a warm but not hot day, and Paul was tied for about 4-5 hours. In the light of Tyler McMillan's story through, we will NEVER do that again, and although we have written our story up I'm reluctant to post it.
Do any of our members have any thoughts on the safety and advisability of tying to a tree - especially in warm or hot weather?

Make sure the bound person has:
1) suncream on!! jus in case of sunburn!!
2) make sure you keep them well hydrated being out for long periods, sweating can occur and loss of fluid in the body can be fatal!! as they can pass out from lack of fluid!!!
3) never leave them on there own for too long, jus in case they have an accident or something, so keep an eye on them
4) you should have a short break in between so that your captive can have a toilet break etc!!
I think ive covered most of the main ones!!
cheers
hope it helps!!

Thank you for your input!
We still feel tying to a tree is just too risky and won't do it now.
Everyone to their own opinion, as long as they are aware of the risks!

I agree no sunscrean or put pegs on them, then have them burn so when you take them down you can squeeze the pegs and ALOT of pain

Well i certainly would not let, amandalu, or im_a_slave_girl tie me up for shore!! especially to a tree, im not risking my health for anything!!! Especially leaving a captive to get burnt!! it may seem like harmless torture but it certainly isnt!! And im sure the person you would tie would definately not let you do that to him/her unless they are completely off their heads!!

Boundgal is right. Sunburn torture is an overall bad idea. Apart from all the extra effects (skin aging, cancer and other dermatological stuff) I generally think that all torture should be completely over once all the bindings are off. Even if the burns eventually cure, it still takes a couple of days, and if not utterly painful, to the very least it's extremely annoying. Basically I support the "You don't have to bleed for your master to quickly end your torture" rule. I'm funny that way

I couldn't agree more with nuclearo - those two are in serious need of psychiatric help - just as Tyler's parents were and still are!

Lets not jump the gun, they may have misinterpreted the rules of TUGS!!! and may think its ok, you should never judge people base on what they say at least they know now that it is wrong!!! they do not need pyschiatric help!!! The example you have given regarding Tyler's parents, there is a lot of issues surrounding that to why they did it, and yes they definately do need help, but Tyler's case and the opinions made by Amanda and iM_A_SLAVE_GIRL, are two completely different situations!!! They may have been saying it as a joke or as said misinterpreted the concept (meaning) of TUGS!!! rightfully so i can see why you were thinking this and how you came up to putting the two together, but i can safely say that they now know that torture is for fun only, and all torture proceedings should be done with accuracy and they acknowlege, the precautions needed!! Putting someones health at risk for one, is not a good idea, as Nuclearo said in his reply, sunburn does not only become painful to the person over the coming days after, it also can damage long term, I think your bound prisoner wouldnt want to remember a tie up, because he got skin cancer from it!! all torture and all things regarding the play of TUGS need to be used and enforced so that it is playful and fun as well as maintaining health and safety of your bound "prisoner"!!
Hope I havent waffled on too much, but hope it helps!!
cheers

Was gonna write a similar wall of text but Boundgal beat me to it (damn I'm slow). I would just like to ask that people don't jump to extreme conclusions and name my comments as justification. They weren't implying anything crazy, just a bit over the board's limits, and there's no need to send anyone to mental hospitals just because they like a little pain in their TUGs. I hate data redundancy so I'll stop repeating Boundgal's comment

I did express myself clumsily, and I offer a sincerne and heartfelt apology to anyone who has been offended by my poor choice of words.
I agree there is a world of difference between Tyler's story and TUGs. Tyler's parents tortured him to death in a most cruel inhuman way - and hopefully they will get thee death penaltty!
Although my brother and I have always taken safety seriously when playing TUGs, Tyler's story has reinforced safety. Everyone has the right to make their own decision, but Paul and I have decided tying to a tree in warm weather is just too risky and won't do it now.

I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to offer their views on this subject. Personally, Paul and I still think tying to trees is just too risky in any weather!

Tying someone to a tree is as safe (or unsafe) as many other methods of tying up.
As long as you know the risks, and are prepared to take care of them, it's fine.
The story of Tyler is a tragedy, but much hyped...and has nothing to do with what BDSM people call SSC (or RACK)*, which should be the basis for all tie up games.

RACK= Risk Aware Kink

btw, You mix up topics.
