How did you Figure out you like being tied up?

[lj]

I was banned from visiting a school friend's house when I was 11. Apparently the parents were concerned that I was instigating lots of tying-up games with my friend (male) and his 9 year old sister, and had a word with my parents (who failed to explain to me why I was no longer welcome there - I worked it out by talking to my friend and putting two and two together)

Speaking of parents brings back additional memories. When I first discovered who Irving Klaw was, I KNEW I heard that name before. I'm convinced my parents sometimes mentioned him, but at the time I was too young to pay attention.

One more odd thing- they always seemed to have numerous Detective magazines lying about. Maybe something about those covers subtly affected me before Mrs. Peel came along.

I can thank Emma Peel in the Avengers for corrupting me.

Oooohhh yesss!! I really liked her. And she really looked good when tied up...

Not to mention her appearance as The Queen Of Sin... a definite inspiration for me!

Irving Klaw

Ah, the master of tasteful erotica. A real photographic genius.

You also know about John Willie?

Tasteful erotica is a great description of Klaw's work. Or vintage glamour? Even though he didn't specialize in bondage, he did help Betty Page become famous.

As for John Willie- how can I NOT know about 'The Adventures of Sweet Gwendoline"? He was a writer, photographer and artist who did specialize in bondage with tighter ropework, functional gags and occasionally corsets as well.

And it's a good thing some cable/satellite channels show those Avengers classics- even Mrs. Peel's successor Tara King found herself in a few trussed up predicaments!

I've always had a taste for some kind of restraint - I'm told that when I was little (before we moved when I was 4), I cut holes in the fitted sheet on the mattress so that I could squirm in under it and still had space to breathe. (Needless to say, my parents were somewhat less than impressed with my improvisational skills.) All the way up to grade 12, my fantasies tended to incorporate some kind of full body restraint. (I was even inspired by a scene in one of the New Jedi Order Star Wars books in which a character disguises himself using one of the freaky biotech aliens with unpronouncible names's uniforms...which, being as how they're creepy biotech aliens, is a living pad shaped thing that forms into a uniform around you when you step on it. Or at least, that's how I invisioned it. Yes, my brain is a very strange place.)

In grade 12, it switched over to more targeted restraint with ropes for 2 reasons: first, my high school grad present was my first personal computer which gave me unprecedented freedom to use the internet and find ways to amuse myself...and well arranged rope bondage really does look gorgeous. And second, about the same time i developed asthma and spent about 3 hours in the emergency waiting room having an asthma attack - effectively annihilating any sexual connotations to anything that disrupts my ability to breathe. (That sensation of being unable to breathe adequately, knowing it was caused by my own body (and not something external to lash out against) and having no idea when or if it would ease up is the single most terrifying experience of my life (which is admittedly lacking in other forms of mortal peril with which to compare.))

So now instead of mummification, it's ropes that do it for me (or metal restraints of a similar nature.)

Always enjoyed playing games like cops and robbers when I was younger. And I'd always want to be the robber and would "accidentally" get caught because I liked being handcuffed (at the time with the plastic toy cuffs that came with a halloween costume). And pretty much as soon as I hit puberty that became associated with sexual scenarios. Have loved getting tied up ever since and luckily have found a girlfriend after looking long and far that had never tried any bondage, but all it took was her seeing my leather collar and she instantly wanted to lock it arould my neck and have her way with me. Let's just say we've had endless fun since then

You just made a lot of guys in here green with envy.

My first memory of liking bondage must have been when I was 4. I had a blanket, and the piece of fabric that wen around the border of the blanket (don't know what its called) was coming off. I remember tying it around my neck and getting a thrill. Even more of a thrill was trying to sleep with it like that. I also remember around the age of 5 or 6 I would take a bath and try to tie the chain that went to the drain stopper around my parts. As I got a little older I was thrilled to get a pair of play handcuffs. I somehow was able to snip the safety release off to make them stricter.
Maybe at 6 or 7 I was taking a bath with a shower sprayer and I innocently put it under my butt. I was surprised and thrilled when the water pressure reached the point when it squirted up inside me. I was not expecting that. I've been thrilled with anal play ever since.
I don't know why I love bondage, I'm not submissive to anyone. When I watch bondage porn I get more of a thrill pretending I'm the person in the bondage rather than the person administering the bondage. (But not always, sometimes I like to imagine my self as the person in control abusing the hell out of the bottom.)

If I could clone myself, I would never leave the house.

I figured out I liked being tied up when I was 13-14. I was at a boyscout summer of all places doing the lifesaving merit badge. One of the tasks was you had to learn how to strap someone onto a rescue board and I was voted on being the one who was going to get strapped down to the board. At first I didn't like it all but within a few seconds I found myself getting hard ever since that I learn all that I can on selfbondage so I can tie myself down more securely.

9-10, I was crossdressing and thought that since I was dressed like a girl, I should try tying myself up and acting like a damsel in distress. My fantasies were pretty simple at first, like I was just a waitress at a diner who had just been robbed or some rival schoolmates had jumped me but as I got older the fantasies got more and more risque and I started making an effort to look as dishevelled and objectified as possible (pulling my shirt up so my chest was exposed, wearing super short pencil skirts that rode up quickly to expose my underwear, stuff like that)when I hit 19.

I always liked bondage, as far as I can remember. Even as a little kid I was fascinated and enticed by the idea of being bound. No idea where it came from - my brain just must have been wired like that, or I don't know. But even as a kid, I knew there was something naughty to it and I always experimented strictly in secret. I really wished for those plastic toy handcuffs, but I was too afraid to ask for them, afraid of having to explain why I would want them.

I even remember having my first orgasm as a kid, way before puberty, from tying up my legs and thighs with a skipping rope. I had no idea what the feeling was and I was pretty spooked by it. I thought I had peed myself, but of course nothing came out as I was too young for ejaculation. So I thought I had hurt myself somehow.

During puberty and sex education (or what passed as sex education back then) I discovered that I was a "deviant" - I found "masochism" in a list of sexual deviations and it described me. I was quite shocked and distrubed by this finding and it left me in a dark place for a while, but I eventually came to terms with it and embraced it as a part of myself.

Like a lot of responses for me it was playing games like Cowboys and Indians (or should that be Cowboys and Native Americans theses days). Somebody would usually get captured and tied up or tied to a stake over a pretend fire. I gradually found that I was hoping it would be me as I was enjoying it so much especially as I grew a bit older and it would give me an erection as well and before long I found I was having to masturbate as soon as possible after the game finished. Oh, the joys of puberty and discovering what turned me on. I'm now a lot, lot older and it still turns me on.

I just hope you're using cap guns, foam arrows, and fake fire when you do it today. Real rope is ok.
