MJSB-01/2024 - Rope Hogtie - madjack - 23 May 2024
MJSB-01/2024 - Rope Hogtie
A huge callout to @Anne and @Kyral_the_Cool for the inspiration for this session
Equipment:
Black oil shine tights
Ball-gag
Long sleeved Lycra body
Silicon breast forms & bra
High-heeled lace-up ankle boots
butt-plug
Rope
TENS machine
Corset
Lycra Hood
Elbow length sheer gloves
The Session:
This was an impromptu session and one that would ease me back into my self-bondage after along break. For that reason I kept things simple, but did decide to include the TENS machine for a bit of 'spice'.
Due to ongoing back problems (it hurts, nothing much I can do about that) and using the TENS machine I didn't make my bondage too strenuous, nor did I include a forced delay to my escape (though as you will see, it wasn't always easy to get out of the ropes!).

What went well?
I was pleased with my hogtie, especially when I shortened the 'cinch/hogtie' rope towards the very end. It felt nice and comfortable, but also pleasingly helpless - which is what I was looking for.
I also enjoyed the look and feel of the session - playing the video back I picked up on things happening that, at the time, I was unaware of. One example is how my body moved when the TENS was running, I had no idea I was doing that!
The TENS machine proved to be a very exciting addition to the tie - I may have finally discovered something that could deliver the random external element to by self-bondage that I've been looking for. Fair enough that I selected the programme, power and duration, so I controlled that part. But the variety of 'pulses' in the cycle I'd selected and how the strength varied during those cycles was unexpectedly unpredictable. Let me try and explain; even though the cycle was fixed, each cycle ran for long enough and with so much variation that it was easy (for me) to lose track of where I was. This meant that the rather powerful 'pulses' in each cycle always took me by surprise and I enjoyed that feeling of 'randomness'
What could be improved?
Ok, so I'm sorry about the watermark which comes with the free editing software
but I can't justify the cost of paying for a video editing service that I'll only use maybe 4 times a year at most. Unless anyone knows of suitable free software that will edit and produce 4k videos without adding in a watermark I'm stuck with this. Finding some way to delay the TENS starting - I had to start the machine before my final bondage (which was fun and distracting in equal measure) but I would love to be able to somehow get it to start after I've properly tied myself up - more randomness! I can't see an easy way, especially with how the machine works - you select the mode, type, power level and duration in sequence, with it starting immediately from selecting mode.
Setting the TENS to run longer and on higher power levels - I went for the default 20min duration, which ended well before my session did, I think it can go for a full 60mins if I wanted it to. The power levels (or strength if you prefer) are very challenging to get right. When I started out the level 6 setting was at my upper tolerance, but when I finished the scene and played around (off camera, sorry) I could wind it up another 2 levels and still enjoy (just!) the feeling. I'm still nervous about selecting a level that becomes too painful and not being able to quickly stop everything, especially if I was properly helpless!
Being properly helpless - now I'm comfortable with this set-up, including the TENS settings, I need to replace the easy (ha!) escape with a proper timed release.
Enjoy

The free version of Davinci Resolve is very likely overkill for your use case, but it's easily the best free video editing software available.

That's really good quality for a video from 1972!
Do I need to look into getting a TENS thingy for myself?
I hope your back gets better, mine hurts for years but lately it's improving by doing exercises I learned from a therapist.
Also: I second kdenlive, I use it for all my videos

This looks good! Rope hogtie with cinching, ballgag, some 'stimulation', and some cute heeled boots is a fun session, I've always wondered about tens units and how they'd feel-
You were nice and squirmy too!
I use Microsoft Clipchamp for my videos (normie alert but it works nicely!)

I do too, but it won't handle the 4k format of my latest camera, at least not without me contributing to Mr Gates vast pension!
I'm trying some of the new software suggested by forum - watch this space.
