The Basic Position with Body Harness
The BPBH is my favourite tie. I think that it is the best
existing self bondage scenario.
I developed the BPBH in spring 1992. It is derived from a similar
tie using ropes that I use since 1986. If done well, the BPBH gives
a very good feeling of being completely tied up, without being
uncomfortable. It is very safe. I estimate that I have been in the BPBH
around 500 times.
The basic position with body harness (BPBH)
is obtained from the basic position by tying the
elbows tight to the body, and tying the knees together.
As with the basic position, the BPBH can be modified
into a hogtie, by connecting the ankle chain to the
crotch eight, but I personally like this less.
I prefer to use chains (butterfly chains) for the BPBH,
but most of the chains can be replaced by ropes without problems.
When you try it for the first time, the BPBH is complicated,
but after a couple of times you will be able to tie yourself
in approximaetely 15 minutes + 20 minutes preparation time.
Before you try the BPBH, you should collect enough experience
with the basic position.
First practice the BPBH a couple of times with the keys next to you.
Try to get used to being tied for at least 30 minutes, before you try
out the BPBH for real.
In advance, make marks on the chains
around your ellbows, and on the chest chain, so that you can
quickly find the right lengths when you tie yourself up.
The lenghts should be such that the chains are tight but
comfortable. If you find the right lenghts, the BPBH
does not hurt.
The chains can leave marks on your body, which may remain visible
for up to 48 hours. Don't practice the BPBH, if you
intend to go the beach/swimming pool/sauna or
visit your girl friend within the next 2 days.
When it is hot and your skin is sweaty, the chains on the elbow and
chest can hurt.
The problem is much less if you wash your arms and chest in advance.
In general, it is better to avoid the BPBH when it is hot.
You need quite a few padlocks, to be precise 6 small ones,
(2 for the ankles, 2 for the hands, 2 for the back chain)
and 1 big one (for the crotch eight). You will find it convenient
to put the keys in a fixed order on the key sets, and to
use the padlocks on fixed places, so that you
don't have to try all keys when freeing yourself.
I recommend to put color marks or numbers on the padlocks and keys.
In addition to the locks you need at least 6 keyrings.
(1 for the knees, 1 for the chest and 2 for each of your elbows)
You also need four massive rings for your elbows.
Preparing the ingredients
The complete recipe
Please try it first without time
delay, and make sure that you don't have circulation
problems.
Circulation problems caused by the elbow chains are the
main risk of this scenario! If you have circulation problems
during a session,
then lie down on your side. When you lie on the belly
the back chain is pulled more tight.
The back chain can be pulled fairly tight without problems,
but you need to know where the border is. Circulation problems
are less likely to occur when it is warm in the room.
-
Put both sets of keys in their key dropping mechanisms.
-
Remove your clothes. I expect you to be naked.
-
Put the elbow chains around your elbows, and lock
them with the screwlinks. Make sure
the chain passes twice through each ring!
The screwlinks must be on the outside, so that they
do not interfere with the rings.
-
Put on the crotch eight. Don't close the lock yet.
-
Sit down, as indicated in the first drawing of the
basic position. Tie your ankles together as with the
basic position.
-
Tie your knees together. If you want a hogtie,
then don't tie them too tight.
-
Connect the back chain with a padlock at its end to the
crotch eight on the left side. (See the drawing on
the page about the back chain) The lock
should be within your reach when your hands
are tied.
After that, pull the back chain 3 times through the
rings on your elbow chains, as shown on the drawing
on the page about the back chain.
-
Put the neck-and-chest chain over your head, connect the
chest chain to the elbow chains by means of the key rings.
-
Put a padlock behind you for closing the back chain
at the other side.
-
Pull the back chain reasonably tight, so that you
can reach its end when your hands are tied.
-
Tie your hands behind your back, while
making sure that the back chain is between your right arm
and your back, and that you can reach it.
Pull the back chain tight immediately after you
are finished with tying your hands, because otherwise you might
loose it.
-
Lie down on your back and dangle the chain from the
crotch eight between your arms. (See basic position)
Pick it up from the other
side, put it (as tight as you can) into the lock of the
crotch eight, and close the lock.
-
Turn to your side.
Pull the back chain tight, move your elbows a few times,
pull the chain more tight, etc.
Lock it with a
padlock onto the crotch eight. (Read the safety remarks!)
-
You did it! There is no way out!
After the keys have come down
First open the left or right lock of the back chain.
Then open the lock of the crotch eight.
After that, free your hands.
Now the other locks can be opened easily, and
you are free man/woman again.
Now you can appreciate the value of freedom.
The hogtie
Like the basic position, the BPBH can be modified
into a hogtie very easily. Tie your ankles, using Method 2
(see basic position)
Put the chain that goes between your arms on the lock
of the crotch eight as before. After that, bend
your knees, and put the chain from your ankles in as well.
This is easy when you lie on your side.
After that, close the lock and you are nicely hogtied.
Finally, pull the back chain tight and close its lock.
You will notice that the hogtie becomes quite unpleasant after a while.
You will be quite happy when you are free again.
Safety
The BPBH is designed in such a way that you will
still get out, when one component breaks.
