What is something you have to try in self bondage?

Wanted to just make this section of the forum a bit more lively since there haven't been any recent posts, I myself am working on coding and something very special coming up. What is something that you have to try in self bondage? Can be a position, a situation, some item or really anything.

I will start. I highly reccomend trying nipple clamps and a sensory deprivation hood. Nipple clamps often don't cause much when initially clamped on for me but they still add a welcome pinch and after the session is over releasing them is one heck of an experience in itself. An alexpress sensory deprivation hood might set you back 10 bucks or so but it restricts your vision while also padding your face with foam and synthetic leather thingy. Honestly it makes for a great pillow and it really upgrades your self bondage since you can no longer see your messy rope work or room, making it feel a lot more restrictive and sensual. 

For positions I highly reccomend trying what the duchy refers to as a shrimp tie, Basically your legs tied together crossed and your body tied forwards to get your head closer to your tied knees. It is a position that demands some flexibility and is not a very comfortable position but it is very restrictive of crawling or sliding movement and is easy to tie.

Get an ice lock or make one yourself.

I got an expensive steel one and a few cheap DIY ones (I have instructions on here somewhere) that work fantastic. The expensive one I bought has the "advantage" that it lasts from 20 to 45 minutes depending on the conditions (temperature, wind, can you pull on it directly or is it just holding a key, is it hanging free or against your (warm) body?) so long enough to have some fun but not long enough things start to hurt to bad.

The ones I made myself stay locked much longer, up to hours if you make one that's to big because of your horny mind.

I don't care what elaborate scheme you managed to think of over your years of self-bondage, congratulations you are creative, now get an ice lock. The one I bought opens every time unless you use it in the freezing cold, the ones I made I tested and revised until I felt they were 100% reliable. Even if I mange to break one it wont lock up it will release. Remember: more components = more things that can go wrong. I've used cd-drives to push keys of the table, suspended weights on a timer to pull loose a knot, all those smart diy stuff online. Just give it up, an ice lock is easy, quick and reliable. For quick sessions you can put it in the freezer as the first step, then get everything ready, get dressed, ... even an hour in the freezer is enough for like 30 minutes of release time. 4 hours in the freezer for the big ones and you'll be stuck wel after your housemates get home.

@Anne, is there a specific lock you might recommend?

I like the ice cubes in nylons setup.
The more ice, the longer the bondage.
Example: two or three cubes will hold you for about 30 to 45 minutes, while a solid soup can size will keep you tied for hours… like 6 to 8 hours.

For DIY try this: https://www.likera.com/sb/time/ice-padlock3.php , I made a few modifications: https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/Thread...pe-ratchet

The steel one I can't find online anymore.

But to be fair, ever since I got the Tuya smart padlocks I didn't use ice locks anymore: https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/Thread...ol-padlock If you look up my most recent threads they are all with a smart padlock. It's just so much more convenient.

Thanks for the reply!

I have a few timer locks (though not the same as yours).
I'm liking the ice locks so that I can be stretched out (spread eagle, for example) and I know an ice lock will hold up the struggle and eventually let go.

Your work is amazing! I love your outfits... We have similar taste!
