Home-made sensual flogger
October 28, 2008
Ok it’s not really a flogger because you don’t use it like a flogger – it just looks like one because it has a handle with a bunch of tails.
I made this from about 5 feet of bead chain cut into 6 pieces, an irrigation pipe joiner piece and some silicone. Tied the pieces of chain together with some wire, inserted it into the pipe and siliconed it up from both ends.
Works best with the subject blind-folded :)
Home bondage setup
October 19, 2008
You don’t need to have a full-on basement dungeon setup with flogging wall at home to play – although if I had the space and permission from my landlord to sink masonry bolts in the wall I would certainly do so.
However with a few lengths of chain and some accessories you can convert your bed into a handy bondage platform that’s easy to get someone tied down and versatile enough to give you sufficient positioning options for either spanking, sensual or sexual play.
Here’s our setup; first we have chains around each T-intersection of vertical upright and horizontal bar at the bed head:

With this configuration once you have your sub (me) or bottom (her, when I’m Top) cuffed it’s then quite easy to drag them to the bed, retrieve the chains dangling next to the bed head and attach the spring-loaded clips to the D-ring on their cuffs.
This way you can have them lying face down or on their back, or as I did with her a few weeks ago kneeling facing the wall … which was a little tricky for flogging as I had to stand on the bed (or stand to the side and use the tawse which she hates) but it can work.
Then down the other end of the bed we have some chain loops with D-bolts:

As we don’t have ankle cuffs (yet) these D-bolts are pretty much just for running rope through them. Makes it easier to secure and tighten ropes without having to tie knots around the angular frame and then have to re-tie them to adjust. It works a bit like a pulley.
By the way, as I learned last time when spreading her legs and securing her ankles with rope. If you have a correctly stored rope and you’re trying to manage the situation and continue making it interesting for your bottom/sub while unravelling the rope and all of a sudden it jams and you panic and then spend the next 15 minutes manually untying each loop … stop. As I realised later while trying to figure out what went wrong, all I had to do was stick the end I was working with back through the loop and then pull the whole loop through and then it was all working and unravelling correctly.
If you’re going to play with ropes, learn to tie suitable knots and be always concious of blood circulation and monitor their skin colour during play. Don’t do single loops around any part of the body if there’s going to be strain put on that rope. Don’t use thin ropes that can cut into the body or stretchy ropes that tighten like an elastic band.
