Rain DeGrey tells us that sex is a reliable tool for consciousness-altering, at least when you do it her way:
Sex is, to me, an art form. It is my religion, my passion, a guaranteed and reliable path to altered consciousness.
…
I found out years ago how with the right partner under the right circumstances I could lose my fucking mind. This was an incredible revelation. I could literally use sex as an effective tool to lessen and even shut off the pain of existence. Minds. They can be a right pain in the ass most of the time. Are you telling me there are reliable tools and techniques that make me forget my name and see other realities? Why the fuck isn’t everyone doing this all the time?

Word has reached me that, at long last, some of the old and fondly-remembered Insex.com videos are being re-released in the United States as special bonus material for members of Infernal Restraints. The old Insex movies no longer bear that famous brand name, though, nor are they locked in those unloved and unlamented tiny square RealMovie files. Now the movies are in 2xHD .mp4s, with a modern widescreen aspect ratio and the Infernal Restraints watermark. But these are the original goods, all right! Remember Marina? (Who could forget Marina?)
The images here are cropped from stills released with the April 20 bonus update movie Worthless Cunt, Part 1 at Infernal Restraints. Other Insex.com videos are said to be scheduled for re-issue as bonus updates “approximately every month or two”.

Sometimes there’s no getting around it: her clothing is getting in the way of your fun. But there’s no need to untie her, not when you can grab your handy safety scissors and just cut some access ports:
Yes, very handy.
From Hogtied.

An 1800s account at Spanking Blog about an official administration of bastinado or falaka (for selling tobacco mixed with camel shit) includes this description of a bondage device (called a felek) for holding the punished person’s feet immobile:
“You shall receive as many strokes on your feet as you have received shakies for your pipes. Bring the felek,” said he to his officers, “and lay on till his nails drop off.”
The felek is long pole, with a noose in the middle, through which the feet of him who is to be bastinadoed are passed, whilst its extremities are held up by two men for the two others who strike. My feet were instantly inserted into the dreaded noose, and the blows fell upon them so thick…
There’s even an engraving that shows the felek in use, although this detail seems more fanciful than representational:

I have seen these heavy gleaming beauties on a few European fetish sites, but this is the first time I’ve seen them for sale at a place like The Stockroom. They’re not cheap, but the Stainless Steel Right-Angle Cuffs look secure, comfortable, and really awesome:
For even more restrictive wrist restraints, Rapture’s Right Angle Cuffs hold wrists together, reducing wiggles and twists from the few inches of leeway that typical cuffs allow. These extra heavy stainless steel cuffs are welded together as a single unit that secures both wrists at a comfortable 90 degree angle from each other either in front or back of the body.
The highly polished finish and smooth closures with integrated screw locks create a clean look, while the extra thick steel signifies serious business. And its excessive 2.4 pounds of weight easily add to the restriction of your submissive subject, a bewitching bonus to add new dimensions to your bondage play.
