A couple of months ago I thought I'd try doing a straight forward self-mummification wrap around my arms and chest.
I started off by unscrewing the door handle of my cupboard (which can then screw back on again) and putting half a roll of electrical tape on the handle which I then screwed back onto the cupboard door. This makes it easy to just unroll the tape around and around.
So off I go unwrapping the tape around my chest with my arms pinned to my side. While doing all of this I had on a pair of gorgeous black strappy faux leather heels
just to keep things a little bit more exciting. After all the electrical tape has has been wrapped around my chest and arms I decide to take this self-mummification to a completely different level. At this point I could probably get out quite easily as there isn't really that much tape keeping me restricted and electrical tape is generally pretty stretchy. I decided to wiggle my hands around to use my escape tool (scissors) as a screwdriver mechanism to undo the door handle from the cupboard to attach the very small amount of duct that's left onto the door handle.
The duct tape is now attached to the door handle of my cupboard and you already know what is going to happen next.
I estimated that I'll be able to wrap my chest and arms once or twice at the most with the remaining duct tape. After the third time and the last of the duct had gone around my arms the true reality and non-resistance of duct tape set it. I was so focused on trying to get the duct around my body that I completely forgot that duct tape doesn't have much flexibility.
After 10 minutes of wiggling my hands and arms around my respect for such a small amount of duct tape set in. It was sticking very well! At this point I was already starting to sweat and started to think of ways as to how I was going to get out of this sticky situation. My main problem at this point was because I had wrapped a couple of layers of electrical and duct tape on top of my wrists and just above my elbows my movement was very restricted. Problem number 2 was that I found it very difficult to maneuver my hands in a way to cut the tape with the scissors.
After around 20 minutes I finally managed to cut some of the electrical tape that was attached close to the middle of arm. Unfortunately because I had used duct tape as well it didn't really do much since all I really did was cut a piece of electrical tape. It may have created a slight bit of room to maneuver but I was still in a predicament.
After 30 minutes I was now really starting to stress so much so that I could feel a bit of numbness in my fingers and a slight bit of purple starting to appear. It was at this point I decided the only way I could really get out was wiggle like crazy and use brute force. After around 1 or 2 minutes I had managed to get my one hand free somehow and then free myself.
I was exceptionally relieved that I could finally get out. I really did underestimate the strength of duct tape when it is wrapped around something even if it is a small quantity. This certainly taught me a lesson and I definitely think twice now before doing self-bondage.
For anyone out there experimenting in self-bondage make sure you have at least 2 ways that you can free yourself. It could have potentially cost me my life as I only had 1 backup plan which barely worked at all!
Thanks everyone for listening and be safe out there!
