Tying your own hands: Method 1
The hardest part of self bondage is tying your own hands. Of
course it is possible to use handcuffs, but handcuffs are not good
for serious tying, they are only for fetishists.
Due to the rigidness of the cuffs, all force is concentrated on only
two points at the wrists. That is too painful, and it may cause
damage to the skin, bones or nerves.
Hand cuffs with a chain are not appropriate for my scenarios because
they leave too much space between the arms.
Handcuffs with a hinge force the wrists in a fixed direction.
Every force at the elbow will be multiplied by a factor six at the
wrists, because the arm acts like a lever.
All three ties that I describe, tie the hands closely together,
so that you are unable to move your hands under your body in
front of you, when your hands are tied behind your back.
Still the ties are flexible enough, so that there
is no levering effect on the arms, and that you can sometimes
reposition your hands, in order to keep circulation going.
I now descibe the first tie. I used it until november 2007.
Although, I don't use it anymore, you should still read the
description, because the third tie of which I now believe
that it is the best, is based on it.
You need the following things:
-
Two padlocks + their keys.
I use ABUS N65/20 for this. The body has a size of
2.0 by 2.0 cm.
-
A metal ring. Mine has a diameter of 3.5 cm. Try to be
as close to this as possible, but not larger.
-
A chain with a length of app. 1 meter.
The size of the links of the chain is important.
The padlocks must fit through the links, and the links
must easily fit through the padlocks when they
are closed.
In my chain, the links have a length of 3 cm.
Configure the chain, ring and padlocks as shown on the
drawing.
Put your hands in. Pull the chain tight with right hand through lock A.
(if you are left handed you can reverse the construction)
Stick the other padlock through the chain and close it,
also with the right hand.
Determine in advance the loosest position such that you
cannot free yourself, and mark this position with a
marker pen on the chain. Practice first with the hands in
front of you, and later with the hands behind your back.
After some practicing you will be able to get your hands
tied and untied in total darkness or blindfolded.

The hands are still tied:
Putting the key into one of the padlocks. I could have
used the other lock as well.
Once the lock is open, getting out is easy:
And I am a free man again!
