Self-bound under the influence...

To the dismay of the bdsm community I'd like to proclaim that I practice self bondage under the influence of both alcohol and marijuana. So I thought I'd let others know what measures I take to ensure (as best as can be done) my personal safety. Let's be honest, bondage is about risk versus reward and intoxicants increase both.

First and foremost I never try a new scene while UI (under the influence) especially one that I've created while UI. I'll write it down and evaluate it later. I've made this mistake a couple times and although they were extremely erotic scenes the results could have been disasterous.

Second, I tone down the scene. Being UI will provide more than enough extra pleasure that I can afford to be a little less elaborate and still enjoy the scene more that without the extra endorphines. No inverted suspension, no tight bindings, nothig that will cause excessive body temperatures.

Third, I don't get too intoxicated. If I'm too drunk or too high I take an extra run through on the scene setup and checklist. This usually takes enought time to come down a little. The last thing you want is the overwhelming urge to vommit with a ball gag in your mouth.

Fourth, no ball gags... ever.

Effects of different drugs pose differnt risks to different people. Halucinogens are a really bad idea for anyone doing self bondage, or supervised bondage for that matter. A false sense of reality and physics does not play well with reality and physics. The same goes for coke ore crystal meth which give the user a false sense of invincibility.

Weed will make you dehydrated quickly and bondage is already a dehydrating activity. But your body can only digest so much water at a time so you risk both excessive water intake (which can be lethal) or you risk pissing your pants if the urge to go comes suddenly which may or may not be your thing. Alcohol affects the body in a similar manner but the hydration is less of an issue over the physical need to urinate frequently.

Regardless of what you do always try to keep the scene as safe as can be. Drugs make activities more interesting but as with anything moderation is key.

Bound By Your Own Erection Part II (Guys Only)

In Part I of this series I discussed how to make a penis clamp out of some tape, paper and string.  In this part you'll learn a new design that is stronger, more comfortable to wear and remove, and can be adjusted to the right fit.  Here is a quick and dirty drawing of the device to help visualize the construction:

You'll need to purchase some industrial strength velcro from a home improvement store.  Usually a pack comes with around 9 feet of each side, so you'll be able to create a few projects with one purchase.  You'll also need fishing line, and obviously some scissors.  You cannot use string or nylon because the velcro will begin to tear the threads apart.  Fishing line works great because it's strong, can be tied in knots and it too is cheap and innocuous. 

Cut a 7 inch strip of the hook sided velcro and peel off the tape on the back side to reveal the adhesive strip.  Be sure to not let anything touch the adhesive as it's extremely tacky and will be difficult to remove.

You'll need to create a lattice of fishing line.  This means one piece of line cut to 7 inches long.  Then you'll want to cut a foot long piece of line and larks head knot it around the center of the 7 inch piece.  This will be your anchor line.  Finally create a series of short 1 inch lark head leads along the 7 inch line, these will help reinforce the lead line between the two pieces of velcro.

Now cut a 7 inch strip of the loop sided velcro and sandwich the fishing line lattice work between the two adhesive sides.  Now you have a self locking velcro loop.  Attach a metal ring to the end of the anchor line using a standard sport fishing knot like so:

You now have a device that can be wrapped around your erect penis.  Adjust the diameter for a comfortable fit that won't slide off your erection.  Choose either the loop side for a comfortable fit, or the hook side for a slightly painful side if you prefer. 

Because the velcro is industrial strength, it's difficult to open the loop once sealed, especially when it's around your sensitive member.  It's also difficult to open around your wrist with only one hand, so you can make a set of these for your wrists and ankles to make a good spread eagle setup.

Be sure to trim off any overlap between the two velcro pieces otherwise you'll have a painful time removing it from your penis.

Christmas came early this year - electronic bondage safe

So I just got to unwrap an early Christmast present and I couldn't wait to blog about it.  My wife found an electronically locked security box.  It was a cheap aisle-displayed gift from Target and so I wasn't able to find a large stash of them online.  It's called a Superex Safe and it's made by Superex Ltd in Canada, but they don't list the product on their website just yet - http://www.superex.com/   However here's a knock-off I found at Office Depot Online - Sentry Safe Security Box

The basic premise is the box is battery operated.  Which is not safe to use as a bondage device because if the batteries died you wouldn't be able to access the case by code.  So instead, you can run an extension cord into the case - which conveniently has a hole for the security cable.  That extension cord can power an electronic timer outlet which when in the on position can power a 6v DC converter to the security box.  When the box has power the system accepts the code, when it does not have power the box is locked shut.

This means you can lock the box with 15 minutes on the electric timer outlet, and your security code is useless until the timer turns on.  As an added bonus the safe comes with two backup keys, which can override the digital code.  Put the keys on an extended duration ice release mechanism and you have a good backup for a power failure.

I went ahead and picked up two boxes, and I'm trying to get in touch with the Superex in hopes I can do a group buy.  I'll post anything I hear on boundforum.

I've checked out a few Targets in the Texas area and they all seem to carry them in Target branded boxes near the holiday section.  T

My Wife's First Suspended Sex Experience

I would just like to appologize to my neighbors and any passer-by's that might have heard the screams of ecstasy a few nights ago.  She screamed so loud when she came that it scared me a little - thought a binding slipped or something.  Unfortunately in an attempt to recreate that night we had to stop the scene quickly because she began to get dizzy.  Turned out to be just nausea from the swinging, but it's always something to be concerned about. 

We're going to try again after the holidays.  After the family members are done stopping by and after our hectic lives are back to normal.  I'll be able to post some more details on the right by then too.  We're guessing the blindfold and dark room were a bit too disorientating, but I won't rule out restricted blood flow.  Nausea is one of the first symptoms people often get when they lock their knees and are about to pass out. 

If anyone is looking for that last minute naughty holiday gift, then I highly recommend installing a suspension rig in a ceiling - a high one if you have it.

Why the long absense?

Well with the holidays and Q4 work all piling on at once I haven't been able to enjoy as much personal time as I'd like.  But I have some good things in the works.  I'm currently working on some video's demonstrating strict and inescapable self bondage, special knots and when to use them, and a variety of examples for tying your wrists together without being able to undo them.  I've got a picture and movie gallery going for content to enjoy while you sit helpless and tied.  And finally I'm working on some software to help discover and share bondage ideas and links.

Anyway, I'll try to keep up with this through the rest of December but I expect that my time will be spent doing vanilla activities with friends and family.

Happy Holidays!
