Self-bondage Solo in a Straight Jacket - Marcus - 10 Feb 2012

I bought a leather straight jacket a couple of years ago and it must be one of the coolest items for self-bondage. After reading and experimenting a bit thought I’d have a go at an illustrated how to guide.

1) First put on something slippery, Lycra is good in summer but you may need something warmer in winter. The last thing you want is the jacket to bind on your skin/body, this will make it impossible to remove later and it can make the session painful quite quickly. You need to be able to wiggle freely in the jacket in order to position limbs and joints so they don’t pull on tendons – this is cause the pain that is often written about in relation to straight jackets.

The buckle of the clinch strap needs a rubber band around it so that it will close without help; this only needs to be about half way up. Best to experiment first.

2) Do up the jacket zip and straps except for the neck area. Put the jacket on over the head and pull up the zip and fasten the collar about the neck with your free hands, this area is very hard to reach and feel once your arms and hands are in the sleeves.

3) Then slid your arms up into the sleeves and pull the jacket down.

4) Do up the crotch straps. These are difficult to feel through the sleeves but you can still see the buckles, which does help a lot. Once this is done the jacket is firmly attached to you and isn’t going anywhere without being undone first.

5) Now for the arm or clinch strap. The arm with the long strap needs to thread under the front strap and around the body under all the loops… to do this you will need to roll around a little on the bed till you work it back round the other side and through the last loop …
The other arm is then put under the front strap and you grab the buckle and work it over the strap. Once it’s started and down a few notches from the strap end, push it back through the side loop.

6) Push the end you have through the buckle into the door jam and close the door so it grabs the strap. Move forward and twist and your all tightened up, this will also give you enough slack to open the door. At the point you close the door your actually trapped as you can’t open it again without clinching your arm strap. Don’t over tighten the strap… it’s so very tempting but it can make it harder to escape and induce pain in your elbows or wrists.

So now you’re trapped… heart pounding you can fight and wriggle excitedly to check that you are hopelessly bound and then err do whatever followed by maybe a little sleep …

So when your finally ready for release you will need to pull the clinch strap tight then on an angle .. this will stop the buckles pin from slipping back in the hole (this is why you use a loose rubber band). If you want more reliability you can tie a string to the rubber band so you can pull it back and guarantee release. I prefer the not knowing if I can get out but there is always someone to let me out (eventually) if I get stuck.
Alternatively you can wriggle the clinch buckle around till you can reach it and just undo it (aka the standard straight jacket escape method) however this involves a LOT of effort. The first time that I managed to get out like this it took me about 45 minutes. So have a drink of water ready, as it’s to late to get some once you’re strapped in 😉

Remember to play safe; straight jackets are designed to be an “industrial strength” restraint. I would have to say that the first time I had one put on me it was definitely the most intimidating restraint I had ever tried, the shear weight and strength of it impressed that it wasn’t designed to be removed by the wearer. Having said that I’m very used to sleeping in it now… it’s just cuddly warm and gives me a big hug all night long ….

Oh yeah – A big thank you to my wife for operating the camera.

Congratulations to your success and the good explanation!

I do have a latex straight jacket without the extra strap to keep the arms in place and with a simply zipper on the back, but it has got a crotch and short legs, so I can't take it off without freeing my arms first.

Getting into that straight jacket is much easier of course. I get in and through the latex, it is fairly easy to pull a string to close the back zipper (I am afraid to cut into the latex mittens when I operate it manually). Then I tighten the strap between both arms - experience and trial-and-error for the length. Finally, I make a loop of that strap, step inside it and work it upwards, until it sits in the right position. This also works with arms to the back, you only need to think hard about how to place the strap first. I do prefer that position. The result is pretty tight, I can't bring my hands together at all, hardly can move the arms anyway. Of course, this only works, because latex can stretch. Getting out works the same way as getting in. By the way, it is hard to keep the strap straight, it tends to roll and gets all twisted if I am not careful.

PS: I had the same idea on a buckle for a single glove. It works only so so, because I cannot change the angle of the strap easily. But usually, the pin of the buckle eventually gets caught in the (very soft) strap and it takes some patience to open it later. I would need some sort of trapping mechanism as well. The door, that I have, won't work, it opens the wrong way - I aeady tried that.

She is not really "into" bondage herself but actually had lots of fun doing the photos (it would have made a very funny video)... she even mentioned doing another one... I Just have to work out on what ?
She does like me in lycra ( our method of birth control ) so maybe we should do something in that direction ? I'm open to idea's !
