Tying yourself in this position is not easy, but if you know the way, then it is much easier. Always plan how you will untie BEFORE you bind yourself, otherwise you can stay bound forever. Our article is about tying, not untying.

Steps

1. 1 Fasten ropes / handcuffs or chains to four points. If you want to use three chains and one rope, then anchor the rope where your dominant hand will be.
2. 2 Tie your legs to the lower supports tight enough for you. Do not use a slip knot as it can tighten too much when you fight the rope and disrupt circulation. Remember that prolonged standing with your legs apart can become very uncomfortable over time.
3. 3 Tie a slip knot on the rope that will bind your dominant hand, but do not put it on your arm yet.
4. 4 Tie your other hand to an appropriate support.
5. 5 Place your other hand in the loop and tighten. If the knot is on the other side of the palm, you have almost no chance of freeing yourself. Of course, handcuffs are easier to use, but not everyone has them.

Tips

• You can go for the fact that you will not have the opportunity to free yourself, and just ask someone to come by in a couple of hours. Be aware, however, of the risk: what happens if a fire breaks out, or if the ropes cut off the circulation?
• You can add a gag, blindfold, knee brace, or any other device.

Warnings

• Make sure those present are trustworthy. In such a vulnerable position, you can be tickled to death!
• It is always dangerous to bind oneself; it should be done only under supervision. Make sure you can free yourself beforehand and always have another way to go.

What do you need

• A bed with four posts or any four objects that won't move if you pull them.
• Four ropes are about a meter long. Cotton ropes are preferred, but other types will work and will not damage the skin. Three ropes can be substituted with chains with a lock, but you will need one rope for ease of tying. It is possible to replace all the ropes with handcuffs for the arms and legs, but keep in mind that if you fasten them too tight and leave them for too long, you will be in pain.
• Liberation. You can free yourself in different ways, depending on what you are limiting yourself to. You can leave scissors or a knife within reach if you are using ropes, or the key in an ice cube hanging from the ceiling if you have locked chains.
