Using A Fitness Bench For Bondage Sessions

A few years back, I tried out a regular chair by adding hooks and other attachments. It was enjoyable, but there are two main downsides…

• It lacks the stability needed to hold someone who is struggling
• You can’t easily “disarm” it. It needs to be concealed because having hooks on a standard chair would invite awkward questions about them. This led me to choose the bench instead. Image The strings connected to the bench serve as an emergency release, just in case I need to get out IMMEDIATELY due to a fire, intruder, or other issue. The image below demonstrates how two padlocks are secured to the bench such that cutting the string anywhere along its length will free both padlocks simultaneously. Image That provides the emergency exit option. The standard release method uses ice locks. Image Yes, I realize it’s not overly complex. However, self bondage relies on primitive yet dependable techniques. Without body heat warming them, these ice locks will thaw and release the chain after about 3 1/2 to 4 hours. The concept is that the ice locks are attached directly to the bench while my wrist cuffs connect to those same ice locks. Meaning: No need for a key or similar tool - once the ice melts completely, I am free. Currently, each end of the chain from the ice locks passes through padlocks before reaching a combination lock. (I prefer this type because it’s easy to “click” with my hands behind my back). Image [![Image] ( The next set of photos shows the setup with cuffs: Image [![Image] ( The final result: Image Two dog collars secure my upper thighs to the bench, while the ankle cuffs at the bottom are pretty straightforward. The small chain in front holds keys for both the large padlocks and the smaller ones that keep the wrist cuffs from opening. The string holding the scissors also carries these keys. Here is an analysis of potential issues…
• Emergency situations like fire etc.: I simply grab the scissors and cut the string
• Minor mishap during setup where one combination lock gets chained to a padlock: I wait for the other ice lock to melt, retrieve the keys from the chain, and open that specific padlock
• Major mishap during setup where both combination locks get chained together behind my back (rare): The emergency scissors also possess a key capable of opening the small padlock that prevents the cuffs from being unlocked.
• Both hands become numb: No issue - the standard release mechanism will free the wrist cuffs without any effort on my part. Oh, and there is one final escape route…I live in an apartment building and I am not gagged. Also it would be VERY embarrassing if something went wrong while I was tied up here; I’d likely consider moving out. And regarding what actually happened…the pictures above come from two separate sessions (one “unmanned” test and one with me sitting in the “chair”). The first trial run was successful, confirming that the ice would melt within 4 hours (even quicker thanks to body heat). So, I set everything up again, waited for 2 1/2 hours (leaving 1 hour remaining), sat down in it…and realized through struggling that I could open one of the spring links with my ankle cuffs. With a bit more effort, I managed to get hold of the chain containing the keys. After tossing the chain around several times until it landed in my left hand and spending just over 30 minutes working on it, I was able to unlock one of the padlocks.
