The Basic Position
The basic position is the simplest position.
It is the one that I have been in most. I estimate
that I have been in the basic position about 1000 times.
One time in 1993,
I spent a whole night in the basic position.
I thought that I would spend the time sleeping, but I could not.
This was unpleasant, but for the rest there were no problems.
The basic position is very safe.
It needs little preparation.
It does not cause circulation problems, but it sometimes
leaves marks on the wrists. They always disappear overnight.
Problems are much less if you wash your wrists in advance.
(If somebody asks you where the marks come from, tell
that you have neurodermitis)
The basic position is good if you want to relax for a while.
If you prefer to suffer, try the rack, which I describe
on another page.
The basic position looks as follows.
You lie naked on the ground with your hands tied together
behind your back. In addition, your hands are
fixed to a chain in your crotch, and your ankles are tied together.
For the key release, look in
the section on release methods. I nearly always use
the ice key release, since I do not like to be tied
up longer than 45 minutes, and because it is the simples method.
It is better to tie yourself to something fixed with a chain
around your neck, so that you cannot stand. Otherwise
you might try to stand up and to reach for the keys.
This can be quite dangerous,
since tied up you can fall very hard. It is important
that there exists not the slightest chance of escaping, since only
then you come in the right mood to peacefully accept your situation.
I first describe the building blocks of the basic position,
after that follows the description of the whole scenario.
You must be able to tie your hands behind your back.
Practice this in advance.
You can use any of the three methods listed on my pages,
but I recommend the third method.
Building Blocks
The complete scenario
You are now ready to be tied up:
-
Put both sets of keys in their key dropping mechanisms.
-
Take of your clothes. You will always perform my scenarios naked.
-
Put on the crotch eight. (B on the drawing below)
Don't close the lock yet.
-
Sit down, as indicated in the first drawing below.
Tie your ankles together.
-
If you want, you can connect a chain around your neck
as well. The chain must be not too tight, and you must
be able to reach with your hands the place where the keys
will drop.
-
Tie your hands behind your back.
-
Lie down on your back and dangle the chain from the
crotch eight between your arms. (See second
drawing below). Actually, you first have to throw the chain
between your arms.
Pick it up from the other
side, and put it (as tight as you can) into the lock of the
crotch eight, and close the lock.
-
Now you are caught.
After the keys have come down
The easiest way to get free is to first open the lock of the
crotch eight.
After that you can open either of the locks of your hands.
Then the ankles can be easily freed.
A Simple Hogtie
The basic position can be modified into a hogtie very
easily. Tie your ankles, using Method 2 in the section
on tying the ankles.
When closing the lock of the crotch eight, first put in
the chain that went between your arms. After that bend
your knees, and put in the chain from your ankles as well.
(This is easy when you lie on your side)
Then close the lock and you are hogtied.
Safety of the Basic Position
The basic position is designed in such a way that
failure of one component cannot cause you to get
stuck.
