Re: Bondage Corner

For leather yea there is. I assume there is some sort of oil or other treatment for hemp as well, but like I mentioned, I never actually owned any, just played with it, so I never had to take care of it.

I actually think this is what the guy had:

Re: Bondage Corner

Treat leather like you would your own skin is the best way I could say. Clean with a damp cloth and condition with something lanolin based. Saddle soap would probably be easiest to find.

Re: Bondage Corner

Hah hah, I suppose that IS what she said.... wait....

I am not a big fan of rags because most materials you'd make rags out of stretch. When the typing material stretches, it makes the knots harder to untie.... and if your doing self bondage like I usually do... well.... you know lol

Re: Bondage Corner

Well thankfully I don't have to worry about stretching too much, as I do have a partner to enjoy myself with :)

Chances are I'll try that clothesline though, it sounds like the easiest/cheapest/least conspicuous bet. Now, next question: are there any fairly simple positions that don't require awkward angles or anything? I'm not particularly flexible, and I'd like this to remain on a bed, hopefully ;) I remember chibs posted a link to a chest-pincher thingie, but that tutorial made a reference to another set-up that I couldn't find...

Re: Bondage Corner

I'd start with some type of body harness (shinju or Karada) that you can tie more stuff to.

A couple good sites to start on are here:

Re: Bondage Corner

That second link is the one Chibs posted, and it references the Karada, which I found in the first link, yippee!

Right, well, I'll get some rope in the next few days and tell everyone how it went :)

Re: Bondage Corner

Holy crap Wallpaper's a lesbian and I'm going to her city this weekend!!
XD Damnit, one of my friends also said this tonight! Why is everyone coming here the one weekend of the summer when I'm heading up to Edmonton for Folk Fest? *fist shake*

I personally use 3/16" cotton braided clothes line from Home Depot.
I will have to keep this in mind. My girlfriend and I bought some rope from a toy shop that was quite nice and smooth, but it frayed hella fast (it was all nice and pretty and black, now it looks like we dredged it up from some boggy beach. D: ) and it was relatively expensive, to boot.

You forgot that bisexuality doesn't really exist. Bisexuals are either sluts or in denial.
OMFG U! XDDD I nearly choked on my drink when I read that. Too bad I have to spread more rep around before giving some to you because you nearly made some more off of that tripe. XD

I'm so going to try those on my girlfriend at the next available opportunity. :O~~~ Thanks for the links!

Re: Bondage Corner

Haha, I wouldn't actually have time for a visit, though maybe you should plan to head through Red Deer on your way up, grab some notes for the game, yes?

Anyway, back on topic, how about knots? I know that most of the things don't need 'em, but are there any you would suggest for attaching people to something, so it can be removed rather quickly if needed?

Re: Bondage Corner

So. Here's a serious question. Why do you all enjoy this? BDSM or whatever term you use. What is the psychology behind your enjoyment?

Re: Bondage Corner

Different levels for everyone. As is the case with everything, it's part psychological, it's part physical, and due to individual variances, the level of each of those parts is different for everyone. If you're asking generally, I could answer with how physically, the sensation of it increases the feeling of pleasure more than just rubbing your naughty bits. In terms of psychology, it's based a lot to your personality, as well as sharing vulnerability with someone. It's a trust issue for those who view sex as a physical action, taking it to deeper levels than those practitioners of normal intercourse. Those who are naturally passive people will tend to find themselves flock to someone of a more forward nature, turning their own passiveness to submissiveness in the hands of someone who turns aggression into sado-dominance.

If you're asking specifically, I can only tell you that I personally grew up as a child with ridiculous ideals, ingrained chivalry, and a bit of isolation. So I tend to be independent to a fault, but continuing past that is my tendency to place the women around me on pedestals, granting them the benefit of the doubt in troubled situations and giving them the reins to everything else in my life. The isolation kicks in by me not caring what way they take me or what they do, cuz when my control comes back to me, I can always guide myself back to something positive. That's the psychological, and in terms of physical, I would end up injured a lot as a child, but never hurt. I was skinny and extremely limber, had a high tolerance for pain, fast metabolism, and healed at speeds rivaling comic book characters. Basically, I was invincible, even surviving some incidents where, medically, the odds were against me, without so much as an "ow." For this reason, I found it hard to feel vulnerable in the face of anything and would go out of my way to try and put myself in situations of potential danger/pain/discomfort. Because of these, I lean towards giving women complete control over me and letting them put me into whatever they want because it would never affect me in a major way and I'd find a bit of a thrill to them trying to do anything that would 'scare' or 'intimidate' me. Doesn't even have to be sex, sometimes it can be me just letting a friend of mine drive my car, despite me being in it with them. I'm a sufficient driver and most of my friends are terrible, but I'm not scared that anything major will ever happen and if it does, I have the mindset that I'll just walk away from it like I always do.

*if you wish, I could be more specific with my first paragraph on why people generally enjoy it. Describing why it's completely physical or completely psychological to different people.

Re: Bondage Corner

For me, it's because I like to try new things, to an extent. I've never done anything especially hardcore or painful, but I find that having had one sexual partner for the past six years, doing new things is a pretty important part of keeping the sex drive up... otherwise we both slip into 'comfortably old married couple' mode and do little beyond the snuggling stage, probably because we've already tried X, Y and Z. XD

I can't be too specific about the psychological reasons behind it all because I haven't dug too far into the research and my own reasoning, but I'd say that the submissive side of me is similar to Toxic's: being a pretty damned independent person from a young age, I get a kind of thrill in allowing myself to be the vulnerable, responding one (though I don't get to play that often, given that my girlfriend is like, the ultimate fluffy-cute-kitten-innocent-creature-of-ultimate-submissiveness. XD) For the dominant side, I like being in control sometimes. There's something hawt about standing over a half-naked, prostrate guy who's like twice as tall as me and who could (and has) kicked my ass, letting himself get scratched and flogged and toyed with... On a different note, the way that skin changes colour when it's been scratched or marked is quite lovely to me, and making people make noises, being able to control whether they're very here or whether they're practically drifting off to sleep is very fun. :D

WALL OF TEXT 4 U!

Woah, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I was pegging you in the early 20s ^_^

@ Goldstien: the biggest thrill for ms is the lack of control. For a lot of people, that5 lack of control stares them. For me though, it I am with someone I know and trust (or all by myself, which brings other factors into play), that fear of the unknown turns to anticipation. Plus when you climax, I tend to thrash a bit. Thrashing against the immovable bindings ads to the excitement, and for me at least, adds to the orgasm, making it more powerful IMO.

@ Shrike7: I find the overhand, slip (cinch), and square knots to be all I ever really need.

Re: Bondage Corner

Interesting.

It just bugs me a little that there has been so little actual research into the psychology of sexuality. It seems to be such a very fertile field, and no one ever does anything about it.
