Re: Self bondage at the workplace.

This feels fun in theory, but is too risky in practice. Though I was talking to a guy the other day who said he'd done... naughty things... in our work building, so maybe it's possible.

Re: who you tied up first?

My answer for this is only an iota more exciting than the other one. When I was young I vaguely remember lightly tying a friend's ankles together as part of some sort of game, but he didn't seem to be feeling it so it didn't go any further. I remember this because I already knew by this point that I...

Re: Who tied you first?

I guess myself, but that doesn't count.

I don't actually have any memory of being tied up in any context other than actual TUG/bondage. Which I guess makes the first other person who tied me up, a guy who I met at a rope bondage class I attended once.

Re: Accidentally meeting someone you know IRL on the forum

Not from this site, but I have encountered people on other websites of a similar vein, that I also know IRL. In some cases I just let it be, as it was someone I was interested in doing stuff with and it seemed far too awkward to bring up. One guy I eventually did bring it up with, and we have since ...

Self-Gag (M)

I was doing some self-bondage earlier and decided to try a layered gag. First, a ball-gag https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51647191382_08b7b1385c_h.jpg Then some socks https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51648021916_f43095fe22_h.jpg And a lot of tape https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5164804920...

Re: University

Though I have met a few other kinky people through university. Good place for experimentation, I suppose. Amusingly, found several while playing...

Re: Bondage media that actually made you feel uncomfortable.

Yeah, generally anything that seems both bad and too real. If it's a scenario that wouldn't be good in real life, I want it to be clear it isn't real, acting quality be damned. I also don't like fictional scenarios which include something really bad happening, hence why horror movie scenes are often...

Re: Bondage Safety

Yeah, method of escape is very important. If you're using rope, you want some good quality scissors/shears Similarly, be very aware of the risk of cutting off somebody's circulation. Other people have written full-on guides on this. If you want to try something particularly new or weird, look it up ...

Re: What hurdle/s stop you from seeking out bondage? (E)

Insecurity is certainly a big one. I want either a reliable TUG partner, or a pool of reasonably reliable people, who wants roughly the same things I want. I also have to trust that person, and they need to trust me - if I want to tie someone up or get tied up, a lot of trust is needed there. I have...

Re: TUG noob here. Curious about what some of the stuff I see online actually does.

Someone else can probably give you better answers, but my general take: In a way, everything helps. The more parts you bind, the less someone can move, the less likely they are to escape. Tying the knees does definitely make movement harder. Now granted as long as you can stand up and keep your bala...

Re: First bondage item bought

Some leather handcuffs. I think I ordered them from Amazon, and was quite worried about being seen; I ordered them to an Amazon locker rather than where I actually lived, and deleted the order from my history as soon as they'd arrived. They were a bit on the cheap end, but they still hold up fine.

Re: Counting the cost?

I've bought a few items, but nothing too extravagant - a ball gag, some nicer rope, etc. Probably goes into the hundreds if you add it all up, but not too much. I'll definitely buy something big at some point in my life though. Probably when I have a permanent place and a lot more disposable income....

Re: Cosplay Tie Ups

It's a really fun idea, I've seen a few pics of it around. Seen some make an active effort to "match" the bondage to the costume, which is especially good. Kind of implying a story to the picture, even if there isn't one actually written. It's not something I've ever tried myself, but I gu...
