Selfbondage session - rope ratchet and knot release (video)

Another self bondage session:

http://www.myvideo.de/watch/8735279/CD_selfbondage

The ring on my mask was the release, I needed to wiggle my way to an anchor point and then use that to pull the ring. It releases a knot between my shoulder blades and that allows me to free my hands.

This worked really well, next time I add some elbow bondage to make it more strict and pull my legs in a hogtie to make it more difficult to get to the anchor point and pull myself free.

Looks interesting. Especially several points of view. But I still do not understand how the release knot works. The wide strap around 00:40 and 1:15 is "the pull rope" connected to the wrist loop through the Special Ring Device, right?

Oh, BTW, to distinguish all your sessions from each other, could you please call or number it somehow? E.g. with the date.

Hi Anne

An excellent video and so many thanks for sharing your session with us.

I especially liked the many angles that you had set up - what type of camera did you use for this? I'd love to try a similar thing myself as the single camera doesn't always show the true 'experience' of a session and yours did.

Ra has aeady asked, but I too would like to understand how your release worked in a little more detail.

Great fun and hope for more in the future

It is indeed the pull rope, I use the same straps one uses to secure things on a car or something, with the metal buckle that only lets the strap slip one way until you press it to release. It serves the same purpose as the special ring device but it works better. It is not "pure" rope bondage any more but I have bought some rope ratchets that will look better on screen 😉

The release is a simple knot, sorry I'm bad with naming them, the same you would use to tie your shoes. So pulling one end releases it. It ties a ring with the pull rope to an anchor ring between my shoulder blades. The end for the realease is threaded trough the rings on my mask and goes over my head to the ring in front. This is simply duct taped to the mask so it can be pulled loose after I anchor it. Then I continue pulling and the knot on my back between my shoulder blades is pulled loose, the pull rope is now no longer attached and I can free my hands.

Sorry, I don't number :p You are free add some structure but I just post them. It is not a tv series you need to watch in order.

Hi Anne

An excellent video and so many thanks for sharing your session with us.

Thanks! It is quite some work to make a video, especially clearing the view of all things that are to recognisable, putting the lights up, setting up all camera's and editing the video. And then afterwards put everything away before the misses comes home. I don't do this for recognition of my work, my other video's get very low scores on myvideo, but it does feel good to know some people liked it. It is for "educational purposes" 😉 The net has some self bondage video's but most techniques displayed just suck and I know I have some good ones so stay tuned for more! I plan on recording my self suspension bondage within the next few months.

I use whatever I have, I have two webcams, a little key cam, a dv cam I got on ebay for 50€ and my small digital camera does some decent video as well for a sub 100€ camera (nikon coolpix). Some small (12cm) tripods I got for a few € were money well spent.

You don't see it in the video but there is 1000 Watts of halogen lights in every video I make. It is needed to capture everything and later in the pc I can make it darker, making it lighter is impossible. It is not the camera, it's the lights.

Buy lights! Those things on tripods to light building sites or gardens are cheap, 100€ of these makes my cheap photo cam record better video than a 500€ video camera in "regular" lights.

I'm a Linux user so I can not give you advice on software for Windows but Linux has lots of video editors, I use KDEnlive. Try it for free with a live cd, like Ubuntu Studio, no need to install it, it runs from cd and lets you edit almost any video format.

Ra has aeady asked, but I too would like to understand how your release worked in a little more detail.

I tried explaining, if it is not clear I might do a little video for this release method.

Great fun and hope for more in the future

Thanks again, I'll definitely add more but it will take some time.

I think that knot and ring idea is fantastic. And I know how that knot works. Where did you get that idea from?

I used that knot a lot, releasing myself by pulling the string or attaching it to something that will pull it for me after a certain amount of time. I wanted something different than staying in place waiting for the release so I came up with this.

It is great fun to wiggle towards the anchor point for release. This was a bit to easy so next time I'll tie my elbows and pull my legs in a hogtie, that should assure a challenge.

Yea, and a "J" hook on the end of a rope that will fall to your reach when the ice melts.

I'm interested in this idea as well.  But I would be worried sick that some loose rope end or other object would get trapped in the loops on the shoulder knot for the release.  The loop would just tighten around the object, preventing the knot from coming loose when you pull at the anchor point.  How do you protect yourself from that possibility?

Oh and another danger comes to mind (sorry if I'm being paranoid!)...

There is the chance the mask ring comes loose and dangles to your back, out of reach, before you get to the anchor point to pull at it.  Once back there it could get entangle in other bindings, preventing you from getting it back in front so you can work it to the anchor point.  A similar risk exists when you pull at the ring via the anchor - if it slips off the anchor before you get the shoulder knot worked loose, your struggles might cause the ring to slip away, raising the chance of it getting entangled in your bindings before you can get it back on the anchor.

Just curious how you deal with these safety issues.  I've been reading too much about self-bondage accidents lately.  😊
