Hidden gems part II

Our community is relatively small, definitely smaller than, say, car-owners, UNIX-lovers or Windows-haters. Sites with original materials, photos or ideas are very hard to find. They may not look like gems, but the scarcity makes them such. Tiger’s in bondage (I found using the link page mentioned in the previous post). Walking through the front door you won’t go further than:

This site has been condemned to closure by the morality codes of the United States of Jesus. We look forward to returning when the political climate has changed or we have been able to secure residence in another nation.

But! There is a (tiger.in-bondage.com/01.html) back door! Going from 01.html to 11.html you will find bondage, latex photos and even videos made during selfbondage and remote controlled vacuum-bed sessions! Being alone in a vacuum-bed is not recommended by many, but I bet it can be done safe. And Tiger’s photos and videos prove that.

Update 2013: new blog ktiger.livejournal.com

What you can find looking at the logs

How often do you check the web-logs and especially referrers? I strongly recommend you check them periodically, as often as possible. You never know what gem is hiding in debries of the cold looking statistics.

Part I What are they looking for?

Someone looking for しみずまさかず found my site. On-line translators gave me two variants:

  • Without stinging ま is not torn
  • Shimizu never the ず

Ovbviously it is related to Masakazu Shimizu, but personally I like the first translation. It is as poetic as useless! I searched the Internet for that string and found lots of fetish hentai pictures. Ain’t that nice?

Part II Who mentions you site?

That was one of those gems.  I thought I visited all interesting selfbondage related sites, but this selfbondage link-page proved me wrong. The site is in Russian, but don’t worry if you don’t speak it, just keep clicking.

Selfbondage trend in Google

Google has recently added the ability to sneak into what people are looking for. This new tool is called Google trends. Is self-bondage getting more popular? Or vice versa? Let’s have a look:


Unfortunately not. According to Google, the interest to “selfbondage”, “self-bondage” or “self bondage” has been declining. The top10 of the countries looking for these words looks very surprising:

  1. Germany
  2. Czech Republic
  3. Denmark
  4. Russia
  5. Austria
  6. Switzerland
  7. Netherlands
  8. United Kingdom
  9. Norway
  10. Sweden

Where’s the US? My logs show that 40% of all hits come from the States and 70% visitors use Google. How trustful is Google’s statistics? Probably they do not have to search for selfbondage, they already know the proper places 🙂

Another interesting thing is that Europeans prefer to search for “selfbondage”, while Americans favor “self bondage”. The volume of “self-bondage” queries is negligible and can not be found in the Google Trend.

Here you can find the original report.

Total Enclosure forum

For those of you who speak German, “Ganzkörperbondage und mehr” erotik-kompass.de/foren/07 – the Total Enclosure forum – could be of a great interest. It’s a meeting point for the lovers of breath control, mummification, leather, latex neopren bags (Ganzkörperbondage, Rollenspiele, Fesselspielchen, Strangulationspiele, Atemkontrolle, Mummifikation, Bagging).

Update 2013: the site is dead.

For straitjacket and hospital restraint fans

Personally, I neither have nor use the “usual” straitjackets. But for those who think otherwise,and for those who admire the idea of being locked in clothes I found a couple of links.

Heetkamp (Dutch company) manufactures various kinds of human restraints. Nothing naughty or fetishy – they are supposed to be used in the “professional” environments like hospitals, clinics or jails. Click on “Artikelen” (Products) to see the photos and description (Dutch) and “Prijzen” to see the price. The photos are quite self-explanatory, but if you are stuck, go to any on-line translators like FreeTranslation.

For example, this lockable “catsuit” (Artikelen -> Hansoppen ) can be customly made (sewn in sleeves, closed sleeves, legs with feet, non-breakable fabric, different colours)

restrictive clothing restraints

Their line of cuffs, collars and magnet locks is very impressive

Magnet locks Cuffs Restraints

And this is how you can lock yourself into one of those straitjackets with magnet locks (German).

New search engine – new self-bondage site

Have you heard of the new “visual” search-engine called Pagebull? Instead of textual excerpts it shows you “photos” of the pages, so by a look at it you can decide if you want to visit the page or not. Guess, what word I tried first? Of course, “selfbondage”! And here’s the result – please meet Petra Jane ( Bondage and self-bondage stories, latex, zentai, photo adventures and much more! If you get the following:

Sorry, this GeoCities site is currently unavailable.

The GeoCities web site you were trying to view has temporarily exceeded its data transfer limit. Please try again later.

either try later, or use www.geocities.com/petrajanea , petrajaneb, petrajanec and so on instead.

Update 2007, Oct 05: New address is http://petrajane.uk.tt

Update 2013: all links are dead 🙁

Masakazu Shimizu again

For those of us who enjoy art-works of Shimizu-san (see my post earlier), but not fluent in Japanese enough to buy his works, here’s a tip: start your favourite peer-to-peer program (eMule, eDonkey, Kazaa, etc) and search for “黒妖社”.

Of course, you can try any Internet search engine first. This is what I’ve found:

http://saihate.petit-fts.com/gallery00.htm under <黒妖社のしみずまさかず様から>
http://www.ya.sakura.ne.jp/~keiskr/chika.htm – practically nothing by Masa, but lot’s of funny drawings.
http://naisyo.petit-fts.com/top01.htm – absolutely not related to him 🙂
That should keep you clicking for awhile.
