“Stress positions” aren’t for interrogation, no matter what the bastard liars in government TLAs (Three Letter Agencies) may claim. No, they are purely a matter of sadistic aesthetics (which is fine when the victim is a volunteer, not so much when he’s some random terrified schmo). But some of the aesthetics are very fine indeed, as Samantha Sin demonstrates here:
Via Hogtied, of course.

Don’t worry, it was for science:
30 volunteers, 15 men and 15 women, … allowed themselves to be “hog-tied” and then have heavy, lead-shot-filled canvas bags thumped on their backs.
The hogtying study was aimed at investigating whether employing the “prone maximal restraint position,” as law enforcement types refer to it, may cause asphyxiation. Hogtying someone, for any of our readers who haven’t been arrested lately, involves placing an individual, as the study puts it, “prone with his/her wrists secured behind the back, ankles bound together, and wrists and ankles tied together using handcuffs, cords, chains, or hobble devices.”
…
Perhaps unsurprisingly, not a lot of research has been done on the health effects of hogties. Enter the 30 volunteers, who after being tested for healthy hearts and non-drug use, enjoyed at least two bouts of being hogtied and having varying amounts of weight placed on their backs to simulate a policeman’s boot.
…
But wait, there’s more. To partly simulate the joy of being a captured criminal, the volunteers were strapped to a sealed breathing mask, hogtied and yelled at for one minute as they attempted with “maximal struggle” to escape the bindings.
…
Perhaps the most surprising thing about the study was only two volunteers bailed “because they were psychologically unable to tolerate restraint.”
All kidding aside, this sounds like a serious study in a very good cause, as is clear if you read the whole article instead of just reading my excerpted “good bits”. But (kidding again) who knew science was so much fun?
Is this how the jolly old elf unwinds after the holidays?
Merry Christmas!
Did you catch the Saving Grace episode in which Holly Hunter was handcuffed (nude) to her bed for an extended scene? It was hot as hell and a lot of fun, especially after her special friend Earl showed up.
I mention this because Chross’ Guide to the Spanking Internet has a currently functioning download link for the scene in question.
Irrelevant aside: I’ve loved Holly Hunter since Raising Arizona. To me, that’s a movie about voices; the narration makes the movie, and her drawl as the cop named “Edwina” is the perfect complement. So I laughed, long and hard, during the recent episode of Saving Grace when she asks a woman trapped in rubble “What’s your name?” Upon hearing the answer (“Edwina”) she says something like: “That’s a pretty name — I haven’t heard that name in a long time.”

Isn’t this a most inviting bondage position?
I don’t think it takes much imagination to figure out exactly what Calico (or the man who put her in steel restraints) is inviting…

Tied in a doorway? It’s a creative whipping position, you have to admit that:
