Re: Hard No’s

Seems like I'm on the more "extreme" side for this thread, although I wouldn't normally think of myself as such. Obviously the total illegal/immoral stuff is out. But while it doesn't have to be sexual for me, it definitely can be and there's some other kinks I'm also willing to explore. T...

Re: What Makes An Image Stand Out?

Facial expression, as some others have said, can definitely make a big impression, as well as body language. I enjoy the combination of a good gag with pleading eyes looking at the camera. I've also encountered a few with the tied person having a good cheeky smile, which is a very different vibe but...

Re: where to meet people?

Finding people for bondage play can be hard, moreso for specifically non-sexual. If you're man looking to meet with other men, Grindr or Recon technically could work but those are very much sexual so you'd have to get quite lucky about finding the right person. People looking for non-sexual play on ...

Re: Is this rope any good

It might do the job alright but it's not ideal. Material-wise, nylon is kind of stretchy and slippery so it can be harder to get knots to keep properly. I prefer hemp or jute, but cotton tends to be cheaper and can be pretty god. Size-wise, the width is alright (6mm is probably the most common diame...

Re: Dress clothes in m/m stories

I do enjoy guys tied in formal clothes, though I haven't written any stories featuring that, nor done it myself IRL. I think there's something in the aesthetic, a lot of guys look good in formal wear so it can make a nice "package". It can also present a sort of neat opposition; a guy's we...

Re: No-sex TUGs between Adults

Yeah, I think part of this is just a categorisation thing. The different labels are "for adults" and "for everyone" which, to me at least, implies that any story in the former contains some sort of mature element that isn't suitable for under-18s. A story featuring only adult par...

Hi everyone Had to eventually jump in... I'm based in the UK (North Wales), 26M.

Self-Bondage (NB)

Haven't shared any pics in a long while, so thought I'd do some self-bondage. The ropework is fairly poor, but you'll have to forgive that. https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/514699aa-5e42-4e7a-8e0e-14fb640ffe1a/dh6vxl7-b7fa5339-959a-48a3-b338-01221ba1331a.png/v1/fill/w_1104,h...

Re: "How Would..." Threads

I assume because they do not really add as much to the site. Stories have always been the main focus, and the community forums can be interesting, but roleplay/how would threads may not be of any real interest to anyone except the few users posting in them

Re: If you're lightly sick

I generally try to be careful about such things, you don't want to risk making anything worse or maybe infecting the other person. Some minor stuff like bruises or whatever is fine though and if need be you can conciously adapt what you're doing to make it safer / more comfortable.

They're kind of interesting, but I do prefer more complete ties. That said, they can be quite good for if you want to move a captive around a bit.

They look kinda nice, but most still feel "off" to me. Well, as long as they're all labelled and kept to certain websites that's alright. Yes, they're using work-arounds and being more imaginative with the prompts. It's also something of a cat-and-mouse game, as the content filters also ge...

Re: Have you ever wanted to be suspended?

I have been suspended, though unfortunately only once (I'd certainly like to again). Basically, I was tied with a very complex rope harness, my hands tied to my chest. A ring was connected to the suspension point, and several ropes where each connected to my legs or back to hold me up. Although I wa...

Re: Bondage media that actually made you feel uncomfortable.

I can certainly agree with that; I don't like scenes where the character gets seriously hurt. Some peril if they're ultimately fine can be alright, but it depends. Very obvious mortal peril is definitely an issue.

Re: Age group

I do prefer around my age, but I have a reasonable range for that. I would also never go below 18 for obvious reasons. I'd be hesitant to tie someone significantly older, but I'd go for it if we had a particularly good dynamic together. Conversely when I'm being tied, I'm a lot less picky. I have be...

A and B, which seems fairly common here. I enjoy being tied up, and to a lesser extent tying other people up. I enjoy the physical sensation, and the... dynamics? interactions? when I do it with the right person. That definitely can be sexual for me, but it also absolutely doesn't have to be. Perhap...

Re: Resist or relax?

Similar to what nitronovice said, I relax because I prefer a neater, more thorough tie and that can sometimes take a while, especially if going for elaborate ropework. I have tried resisting while tying before, and while it is kind of a fun vibe it generally seems to result in a messier tie. I might...

Re: For those who are Switches, what type are you?

I'm definitely sub-leaning. I prefer to be tied. However, I can still enjoy the dom role. It also depends a bit on my mood, and the other person. It seems like when I come across opportunities, they're almost always subs or also sub-leaning, which means I end up domming more than I'd probably like. ...
