One thing I've been playing with is that when you set the tension points on the limbs, I've been placing a limiting strap/rope between the legs for example.
Then when you tension the outer ropes you will reach a point where everything locks up at full tension.
You will now not be able to move the legs either in or outwards. This can give a really restrictive lockdown without needing to be pulled outwards to silly limits.

Great idea. It also sets the limits as well.

Here is a video of where I could try something new

Great video, as always! Thanks much for sharing!

I have done a few tests with a new release mechanism

So, what for release mechanism did you use?

I've done the auto tightening before

Can we have more details, please? I tried only the weight method (a hanging weight pulling a rope through pulleys and/or a rope ratchet).

Awesome video!

Why has it taken me so long to spot your latest posting??

Love the scenario and your outfit - wish I had a 'white room' to play in and capture images of my bondage sessions, I makes your images even more special.

Reading through the comments from others I find myself thinking very much like you - especially about avoiding pain/discomfort for long sessions and not making things too complicated (though I often fail on that one!). And, just like you, all too often I can escape even the most diabolical seeming self-bondage!

I do have some suggestions and questions:

• Maybe you could try adding some body bondage to your session - a few ropes around your waist and chest, tying you down to the mattress, will make it much more difficult to squirm around and should make escape even more difficult. You could try a rope body harness for this.
  

• What was you release mechanism? Melting ice on the ratchet ropes or something else?
  

• How do you disguise/hide the fittings for the pulley/ratchet setup - I assume these are screwed into the wall somehow?
  

• What was causing the shadow across your legs? At first I wondered if it was a person, but the movement was too regular and seemed to swing back and forth
  

Another magnificent posting and my EOTD aeady - thank you so very much for sharing and I hope you have more time to play (and share) in 2016

your outfit

The outfit is great! BTW, @Anne, what were you wearing?

What was causing the shadow across your legs? At first I wondered if it was a person, but the movement was too regular and seemed to swing back and forth

One of my first thoughts as well 😉 I think it's a curtain.

Nice Video,

One question. What kind of pulley do you use?

More or less the same yes.
I've used the non ratchet load straps (sprung loaded one way) to achive tension. But by placing either another one on the straps or even a loop of rope between the limbs you can set an endpoint.
Without it you may still be able to stretch wider, but not inwards, with the limit strap both dimensions become set.

Thanks for the responses, unfortunately I have very limited time to spare, I'll try to answer some questions with pictures or video in the near future.

Great thread (and video!) I have no idea why it took me such a long time to find it!
