that duct-tape self-mummification video that is probably my favourite of this genre. I still can't get over how flawlessly that went, with nothing accidentally sticking where it shouldn't as he was moving around.)
Today I came up with a different type of hogtie, if that's what it should be called...
I was wearing seven layers of assorted pantyhose for evening relaxation, and then I thought of something. I pulled a pair of leggings (i.e. no feet) on my knees, one knee in each leg. It was very tight (especially due to the layers underneath), and I was just able to pull it up and get the waist where it should be, and surprisingly the seams did not show too much stress. The end result looked quite nice, nice round shapes. It was also relatively comfortable, because the pantyhose layers added a lot of soft buffer between boney bodyparts (by this I mean ankles).
Now, if you inserted your hands and arms through the foot openings (which are now on the knees), you could make your hands meet near the crotch, and cuff them together. You would be forced nearly into a ball shape. I am sure someone has already tried this.
Because the foot openings were too narrow in the end to fit a knee through, there was absolutely no way to maneuver those openings towards the hands. The arms were tightly forced parallel to the legs. Maneuvering the waist opening down might be possible in some circumstances, but it could be definitely prevented with a belt.
I wonder: If one were to use this technique, what possible escape method could there be? The hands would be completely internal, and from that position it is impossible to move any object (such as a key) from outside to the inside where the hands are. Depending on circumstances it might also be impossible to make the hands actually meet. Also, it is a position where chances of legs beginning to fall asleep are high, so a forced lengthy wait for a release is not feasible.
(One possible means I just thought of, is to use the pantyhose-on-arms (with crotchpiece behind the neck) method, and once the hands meet inside the leggings, tie the ends of the pantyhose together, effectively producing the cuffs from the hosiery. Escaping is a matter of untying the knot. Which may always be slightly impossible, considering that I found tying the knot impossible in practice to begin with.)
I would like to collect methods, devices and modifications of "normal" items that help using standard bondage gear such as leather cuffs, straight jackets, monogloves or sleeping bags. Applications don't matter, as long as there are possible applications in self-bondage. It might be helpful to add photos or drawings. I will start right now, add a few illustrations later. I would love to keep each section in a separate post, but from my experience, two posts from the same author, posted after each other, are combined into a single one most of the time.
Zippers
-------
If a zipper cannot be opened or closed directly (manually), a string helps a lot. The string is tied to the handle of the zipper slider and the other end of the string goes to a hook on the wall, a door handle or anything else that can serve as a fixed point near you.
A zipper cannot be under too much stress when closing it. With bare hands, you can straighten the zipper line near the slider. If you can reach the upper part (swimsuit with back zipper for example), you can straighten it a bit by pulling there.
If a zipper ends at the top of a flexible collar or similar, pulling it down can be impossible, because the collar (or whatever) bends over. Supporting the zipper can help. For example, if you want to open the back zipper of a catsuit, you could lean your neck (where the zipper starts to open) against the back of a chair, then pull the string. Do not rely on this method without testing, it might even be impossible to reach the string, string might have to be longer or this method simply doesn't help.
Some sliders have a locking mechanism, you need to lift the handle a bit in order to slide it down (open). If you have such a zipper, consider this in your release planning.
Zipper sliders tend to get caught in anything that comes close to the zipper line.
Slider handles can break off.
Zippers might work better and more smoothly, if "lubricated" with an old-style pencil (containing graphite).
Buckles
-------
A standard strap buckle as used in bondage gear, usually consists of a square or rectangular shaped ring with an axis in the center and a pin connected to this axis. If you wrap an elastic ring or a tube around this, you get a self-fastening buckle. Pull the strap against the free end of the pin, and when you release, it will be caught. Pull the strap away from the pin and when released carefully (keep some tension), it might not be caught, this is the release. You only need to trap the end of the strap somewhere or attach a string that can be hooked to a fixed point (door handle etc.).
Some belts have two D-rings instead of a buckle. The free end of the belt is fed through both rings, then you pull tight. In order to secure the belt, you pull the free end through one of the rings again. If you fold the rings back, onto the part of the belt, where they are attached, the end of the belt is released. A variation of this principle is used in the famous "ring device".
Friction and Force
-----------------
If you make a loop with a rope, using a slip knot, it will be easy to pull that loop open. If you for an eight from this loop and fold this eight together to form one loop with two strands, you need twice as much force to pull it open. Fold it again... etc. On the other hand, tightening a double, triple or quadruple loop by pulling the open end needs less force than tightening a single loop. This applies also for completely friction-free rope. However, with normal rope and its friction, it will be almost impossible to open a loop, if you have enough strands.
Friction and Sweat
------------------
From my experience, rubber has a high friction on skin. However, it has low friction on sweaty skin.
PVC has a wide range of friction, depending on the type. It seems, that all pvc has a tendency to "glue" itself to the skin with sweat.
Strap Fastening
A simple method of fastening a strap to a D-ring or similar fixture is using stud fasteners. I have often seen this on leather handbags. The strap goes through the D-ring, then folded back onto itself, and there fixed with one or two stud fasteners. Add a ring at the very end of the strap to pull that off with a string.
Strings
-------
Strings can be used to pull things that you cannot reach directly. And they can be "operated" without touching them, if hooked to a fixed point in space, such as a door handle or a hook on the wall.
When constructing release or capturing methods with strings, the whole method is as good as its individual components. For example, used on a zipper, the string might be strong enough, but if the zipper gets caught, the handle might break. A hook on the wall, or even a door handle might come lose. Etc. A knot could open, a key ring might slowly "wander" through a knot until it comes off. However, a lose connection could be useful as well, if it is controllable. For example, tie a clothes-peg to a string in order to manipulate something with low force, then pull harder to remove the peg.
Drawstrings in fashion often come with a clamp at the end. When you push a "button", this clamp slides easily, otherwise, it is strong enough to keep a narrow waistline in a coat or prevent a hood from sliding off your head. Used with the multiple loop method (see "Friction and Force"), these clamps can be useful on lacing.
Hi,
I watched this clip and I was wonder, how to do breasts tie like this. I was looking some tutorial but nothing found, exept elbow tie😕 Does anybody know how to do it?
It is a photostream from the latest Geordie Shore Trailer, where one of the hunky male actors has dressed up as 'Superman' in shiny blue lycra tights, shorts, and cape, but bare-chested. Absolutely HOT!!!
There must be plenty more footage of this, including video clips, I'll update this thread as I find more images, although there are plenty on this photostream alone...
...Here's a closeup picture of James, the guy in the tights; looks like he is wearing a different non-metallic pair of blue tights here: http://geordieshoreonline.com/2012/06/ch...cun-james/ The photo is probably airbrushed. The series this pic is from is 'Chaos in Cancun'; the impression is that James is actually dressed as a Mexican wrestler, not as Superman...
Open Thread
One of my favourite fetishes is of a man in a full lycra catsuit/zentai getting wet, so some years ago when I first saw this act: http://www.avantidisplay.co.uk/bill/spurt.html I was not disappointed, and while waiting for him to actually start performing at the event I saw him at (St. Patricks Day Festival in Dublin, 2003), I just couldn't wait to see the first water from his 'fountain' pipes to start pumping.
Basically, it is a comedy act by the theatre performers Avanti Display where the performer wears a white lycra catsuit like a living statue and stands on a plinth. The lycra catsuit has several small plastic pipes sewn into it, with nozzles emerging at certain points around his body and on his head. Once the water starts, his catsuit gets wet very quickly, and you can see if he is wearing anything underneath (He wears a pair of briefs underneath, I am sorry to say); the fact that the catsuit is white makes it go nearly totally transparent, though; the appeal of this act to many forumers should be quite unique; I can think of no other act involving a man getting wet in fullbody lycra like this.
Avanti Display do the Spurting Man and many other performances at many festivals around Britain and abroad every year, so it should be possible to catch an opportunity to see this unique act!
