METHODS OF SELF-BONDAGE


Let’s take a quick look at the various options of self-restraint.

  • Rope – The rope offers a unique feeling against your skin, and you can enjoythis by practicing various legs ties, body harnesses, and similar rigs onyourself. However, it comes with the risk of injuries, especially if you are new

  • Chains – The feel, sound, and weight of chains on the body is a huge turn-onfor some people. Chains offer a hardcore and fun experience, although yourchances of escape are almost zero.

  • Plastic Wrap – What is used here is the same wrap you use to cover yourleftovers. However, it is your body instead of the leftovers in this case. Thematerial gets you sweating because it doesn’t breathe, and if it gets extreme orclose to your face, you may suffocate. Despite its flexibility and delicatenature, you will never get out of a plastic wrap easily.

  • Tape – Either an electrical or duct tape, it restrains and pulls at your skin,thus serving you that unique feel of pain and ecstasy. Getting out is difficult!

  • Handcuffs – Also made of metal, these devices offer some ecstatic feel to thebody, both the cheap and expensive ones. However, you should watch out foryour circulation while in one

  • Leather – Leather can be beautiful and appealing. However, you will need tospend more on the nice ones.

  • Latex – While most people will not consider this as an outright self-bondagedevice, you will be amazed at the level of the illusion of restricted movementyou get from Latex. It is not suitable for people prone to allergies.

  • Rubber – Almost like the latex, but with reduced chances of allergy. It iscostlier than the latex but is far more durable.

  • Straight Jackets – This is sort of a strange option on the list, considering thatthe restraints are always behind the back. However, if the hands are in thefront, it can do a good job on self-bondage.

  • Bags and Sacks – These things will keep you warm, with sufficient space androom for movement – more like a mummy body suit.

DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH SELF RESTRAINT


As said earlier, this play obviously comes with significant dangers, including;

  • Blood circulation – caused by tightness of the bondage, and which may causesevere damages.

  • Suffocation – As exciting as autoerotic asphyxiation might appear, it could befatal in some cases.

  • Tissue and nerve damage – Items like rope can cause serious bruising on yourbody if you fail to put safety measures in place.

  • Dehydration – By sweating more than the usual, chances are higher that youwill get hydrated if the session lasts longer than usual.


CRUCIAL SAFETY TIPS


1. Always Plan!

The importance of planning cannot be overemphasized. Come up with a good plan after thorough research. Then try out your favorite self-restraint style on your legs for a very short while. You can increase the intensity and drive to the upper parts of your body – waist, and torso – while your arms are still free. Every part of the session must follow a plan – the duration, intensity, and the escape route in the case of emergencies. For instance, if you have a preference for a dark environment, you should put measures in place to get light easily whenever you want it. It may seem like this is not a problem. However, you must consider and have a solution in place. Also, keep all the useful materials close, including cell phone, timer, bolt cutters, safety scissors, and water.

2. Understand how your lock works


There are a couple of options here, including:

  • Electromagnet – Usually complicated, it is not advisable for beginners

  • Timer – Using a box or lock box with a countdown timer is safer, especiallythe plastic models. They can be smashed if you have to.

  • Combination – Never gamble on the opening combination of your lock. Ifpossible, write it somewhere near you.

  • Padlock – Have several spare keys to your padlock or handcuff, and keep themclose enough.
