Your favorite way to be tied up

[Amordaza]

Whether it's fantasy or real life, what is your favorite way to be rendered helpless?

You know, I never really thought about it. There are so many good choices!

In real life, I like to have my torso bound with a variation of the "G-string" harness in which the rope that goes through my crotch is brought behind my back and then circled around my waist. I then like my legs bound and cinched at the ankles, below the knees, above the knees, and sometimes at the thighs. If my thighs are bound, rope connects it to to waist rope to keep the thigh ropes from riding down my legs and loosening.

My hands, of course, are bound and cinched behind my back to prevent escape. Half of a white sack cloth towel, cut along its diagonal, serves as a thick knotted cleave gag that is bound tightly into my mouth. The other half is sprayed lightly with perfume and used as a blindfold, so that I can imagine that I'm being forced to smell my captor as I struggle in my bonds.

On occasion, I prefer my legs frog-tied. It renders me immobile and unable to move, and the pull of the rope on my thighs and ankles when I naturally want to straighten up frustrates me to no end. I hate it, so I...kinda love it?

As for my fantasy tie, I'll have to give that some further thought.

Okay, I thought of a fantasy tie.

Sorry about the length, but...my imagination ran away from me.

I am an escape artist who has accepted a challenge to escape from an asylum. After arriving to the asylum, I am escorted to a check-in area. A group of nurses methodically remove my clothes until I am wearing nothing but a black thong. They slip a canvas straitjacket over my arms and begin to strap me in. The jacket is fitted to my size, and the arms taper down so that they feel tight. The ends of the arms have leather pads to prevent me from manipulating objects with my hands. In addition to the two crotch straps, the jacket has a strap in front that will be wrapped around my forearms and buckled into place to prevent me from lifting my arms over my head. While two of the nurses secure me in the jacket, another wraps leather cuffs around my ankles and connects them with a short chain. She locks them into place.

I am not worried. Despite the tightness of the jacket, I am flexible, and I have hidden lock picks in my mouth.

Restrained, the nurses lead me to my cell. We pass by rows of cells until we get to one with a shiny new nameplate with my name on it. A chart on the door has a check-in date of today. The checkout date is marked as TBD.

A nurse unlocks the door, opens it, and I am led inside.

Upon entering the 6x8 foot cell, the nurses push me to the center of the room. There, bolted into the floor, are three D-rings. Using heavy chains, the nurses lock my ankle cuffs to two of the D-rings. They then lock a chain around my neck with one padlock and secure it to the third D-ring with another padlock. I am now triply locked to the floor.

I stand for a moment considering my situation. This will be a difficult escape, but with the lock picks hidden in my mouth, I think I have a chance.

The nurses flank me, reviewing their work. One of the nurses approaches me and begins to brush my hair. Her hand is soft and warm, and given my restraints, the sensation pleases me. She smiles and slowly begins to kiss me. I close my eyes, relax my arms and shoulders, and enjoy this good luck gift.

I feel her lips withdraw, and before I can open my eyes, I taste rubber in my mouth followed by leather against my face. Startled, I open my eyes to see that the other nurses are securing a leather muzzle on me. It covers my nose, cheeks, and chin, and as they secure the straps, I begin to feel my jaw pushed against the rubber ball attached to the muzzle that is now filling my mouth. I want to protest, but there is no point.

The nurses conclude their work by applying small padlocks to every strap: those on the straitjacket, those on the leather ankle cuffs, and those securing my gag and muzzle in place. They each look over their work with smug smiles.

I watch as they file out, close the cell door, and lock it.

Some great ideas here.
Sadly, mine is a bit basic. Of the many ways I enjoy bondage, possibly including some I will never do or never do again, I would have to go with the hog tie.
Crossed ankles or toes tied to prevent crossing, something about the isometric resistance seems to get me going. A pain or strain position that forces you to bear the stress on either the knees or shoulders. Of course, no bondage play can be complete without proper gag, to prevent you from calling for help, or chewing at the knots. A ball gag does nicely, but a throat filling shaft gag can add a mental challenge.
This one looks comfortable, yet restrictive

This seems cozy and snug. Plus I love nice column work, really demonstrates the versatility of rope. Gives me some hope I may achieve sleeping hog tied someday.

Bit of a back breaker

Kind of scares and excites me at the same time, but probably will never try, plus it is not really what I meant in toe tying

Using hand cuffs behind the back in general, let alone in a hog tie seems like a no-no. Of course, it does force you to hold the position as best you can.Never a better time to sport 6 inch heels. (Heck, why not 12 inch heels)

I've had so many favorites over the years and unfortunately have been in those favorites so many times that I'm at the point that novel / news ways of being tied up are my favorites now.

Although I seem to be running out of permutations and my partner and I are getting less energetic about exploring those. We had a young third party involved for a while and that was exhilarating seeing that relationship grow but a third wheel brings challenges as well.

My fantasy (shared with my partner) at this point is to be permanently restrained and able to do life without consequence. Maybe in a hundred years or so but not sadly in my lifetime.

It's the hogtie for me (almost!) every time. Over long years I have now just about perfected the tie, using plenty of rope and always gagged (bit-style is my favourite). With plenteous rope all secured and tightly snug, I can really drift away for absolutely ages! I love to take my time with the ropes as I love the look as well as the feel of neat, secure column-ties.

My abiding fantasy: To be kept as a stay-at-home "house-slave", who would be rewarded/punished for my efforts by an owner who would keep me variously bound/stored/encased in their well-stocked basement dungeon for very long stretches of time.....honestly, there's a long series of kinky novellas in my head-bound fantasy world. Meanwhile....a nice self-applied hogtie will suffice!!

I like to be helpless but mobile, bound so I cannot run or use my hands to free myself or reach anything stimulating (and gagged, so I cannot call for help),with no possibility of escape unless a third party frees me.

I have been thinking about this and I thought I knew but now I am not sure I do know.

My mood has A LOT to do with how I feel and what I want. It's easier to say what I do not like I think for example breast bondage.
I like the feel and the look of those rope bras and the body rope but those pictures of wrote tightly wrapped around a woman's breasts just make me wince it looks horrible.
A friend I use to talk a lot with online she hated it in fact those kind of pictures use to make her angry.

But back to the question, sitting here now in front of my computer I don't have that feeling of oh yes I would love to be tied up like this right now.
Its probably quite a girlie answer and sorry to disappoint those who want to read lots of details but sometimes a little is as good as a lot, like I said it all depends on my mood and feelings.

The reason I asked the question about blindfolds is I like the feel and the aesthetic of bondage. Sometimes it is fun to be blindfolded and enjoy that anticipation of what happens next, I can't help but smile and giggle.
When I am on my own and that seems to be all the time these days, I want to see how I look. In my bedroom I have a tall dress mirror and a dressing table mirror. I have sat at my dressing table and tied myself up so I can look at myself in the three way mirror. But the one I like to do the most is to put my dress mirror next to my bed or at the bottom of my bed and then tie myself up while I am on my bed and then I can look at myself. LOL sounds terribly self indulgent but then is that not the point of self love and self bondage?
I remember the first time I tried this I put the mirror at the bottom of my bed. Its heavy and of course because its full length the bottom part is to low to see. That was before I realised it could be adjusted
Anyway lol I dressed up in some nice lingerie and did my best to tie some rope around my body and I used a scarf as a gag I also had a pair of heels on and even makeup. Now the idea I had was to do all of this without looking a mirror first them get onto my bed and see myself for the first time all tied up. What I didn't think about is that the bed frame of my bed plus the mattress is quite tall. I managed to flop onto the bed rather than climb on in a sexy lady like way so when I fell and rolled over I was laughing a lot into my scarf gag and looking at myself just made me giggle even more. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed squirming around and pretending to be a damsel in distress and all that. So the mirror was a must!

What I didn't think about was all the fun squirming and struggling around smeared my makeup and messed up my hair, well hair can be brushed of course but makeup especially deep red lipstick despite my scarf gag got all over my duvet cover along with blusher and other things. So I thought next time I will not use my really nice posh bedding and use a simple cheaper cover or sheet instead.

So I know that did not answer the question. Well I suppose things I like are the classic spread-eagle on my bed, tied to a chair love that. tied with my ankles together and my wrists together but arms above my head on my bed love that too. Tied to the post at the bottom of my stair case, that was better in my old house. I have mentioned before I have always wanted to be strapped down on one of those massage tables face down or on my back happy to try both. Oh and lots of others. I am not a huge fan of hogties however I find that uncomfortable but I have some back pain and a problem with my right shoulder so perhaps thats why. There are other things to I want to try or like.
Still I really do not know what my favourite is....

It’s not self-indulgent at all, but I too love to be tied up in front of my mirror. As much as I enjoy being blindfolded, being able to see myself in an impossible predicament is hot

You might talk to Cerena sometime. She has quite a set up for self voyeurism with mirrors and cameras.
