Find
the centre of the rope and fold it. You now have a bight at one end of
the rope, and two loose ends at the other (see the first picture). Wrap
the rope around the wrists. The wrist area has many veins, arteries and
nerve pathways close to the surface, and you don't want to block the
circulation or compress the nerves. Please read our article on bondage
safety for more information on recognising circulation and nerve
problems.
To prevent nerve compression and
circulation problems, we have a few recommendations:
1. Don't start this bondage at, but somewhat above the wrist joint. The
wrists themselves are more vulnerable than the lower arm bone.
2. Don't make the wraps too tight, but rather somewhat loose. One trick
to make sure that you don't make the wraps too tigh is to position the
wrists next
to eachother, palms down, and only
later let the palms face eachother. This way, there's always some
space. Another guideline is to always make sure you can put one or two
fingers under the wraps, but some people can get their fingers under
anything... But the idea is simple, keep it loosely. Especially at this
point, because the bondage will be tightened further on.
3. The more wraps you use, the more you even out the pressure. And that
means less pressure at any specific place. Thicker ropes also spread
the pressure somewhat more than thinner rope. If you get tingling,
numb, or coloured hands quickly, more wraps might be necessary.
4. Place the wraps neatly next to each other. This is not just to make
it look pretty, but also to even out the pressure.
So, there we have some nice,
not too tight wraps...
Step 2
Now, twist both ends of the
doubled rope (the bight and the two loose ends). The bight goes up, the
other ends down.
Pull the loop behind the wrist wraps
and to the front again. The idea is to make the bondage more tight by
pulling the wraps in the front and the back closer together by the
wraps between the wrists. This technique is called cinching. You van
make multiple cinches to make the bondage tighter. When you use
multiple cinches to tighten the bondage nerve and circulation issues
are less likely than when you make the first wraps too tight or use one
very tight cinch.
After cinching, tie off the
loop and the loose ends with a square knot
Step 3
Most tutorials end here. But we've
noticed that this bondage might still constrict the circulation or
compress nerves, if you tie the wrists to something else, putting
pressure on the bondage. For instance, if you tie off the wrists
overhead. Whst hsppens in that all the "space" left with the cinching
is transferred to the last cinch. So you end up with a hole between th
wrists and the square knot, while the other cinches become
substantially more tight.
Our solution is to pull the
(separated) ends of the ropes under the wrist wraps, one on each side
of the cinches (one left, one right). Now, when theres tension on the
ropes, the ropes actually pull the wrist wraps open instead of causing
them to tighten!
Another security measure is to pull the ends of the rope trought the
loop you created when you tied of the bondage. This way, the square
knot can no longer come undone. However, if don't pull the rope
throuhj, you have the advantage of a more speedy untying procedure. So
each time, consider which is the best option given the circumstances. A
quick release can be important, but it's also important that the
bondage doesn't come undone suddenly and unexpectedly, if that happens
when bottom has adjusted her muscles to some tension, you can seriously
injure those muscles!
