I’ve always enjoyed the sub-tradition in Japanese bondage of mixing rope bondage with many bamboo sticks to further constrain the movement of the subject. This bondage pic from Water Bondage makes good use of that trope, and then they turn on the water hoses:
It’s raining, it’s pouring, the sub girl is saturated!
Elsewhere on Bondage Blog:
Here’s a post ( entitled Begging For Bondage) from a lady whose bondage needs are clearly not being met. She’s included some nice self-bondage photos, too:
I enjoy being tied up. I like how it brings out the hidden submissive in me. My husband isn’t a natural Dom so it becomes an odd case of me having to ask him to tie me up. For today’s photos I tied my wrists together with a silk scarf. It was pretty challenging moving stuff around and taking photos while being constricted, I liked it. I tried to look submissive in the shots but in the end I preferred the more alert, dynamic poses. I especially like the one with my open, waiting mouth.
I’d like to experiment more with bondage. The idea of being tied up so tightly that I am totally unable to move, maybe even a bit uncomfortable, excites me. Because I’m so dominant in other areas of my life the idea of being helpless, of giving myself over completely to my lover really turns me on. The elements of trust, lack of control, anticipation, surprise and suspense intrigue me.
I love the worried look on this pretty blonde’s face, and the way it’s framed by the unforgiving steel of the whipping stand she’s locked into:
And it’s not like she isn’t right to be worried. Is he going to cane her breasts?
Er, that would be yes. There are welts to prove it later in the photoset.

You always knew all that fancy decorative rope bondage was good for something.
No, not bondage fucking, you quick-pricked horndog! (Although it is good for that.)
What it’s really good for is improvising a flower arrangement centerpiece.

Spanking Blog quotes a spanking blogger who got duct taped to a stool for a spanking. What’s nifty about this is the technique — duct tape on skin is difficult and painful to remove, so this fellow applied it over leather cuffs. Hard on the cuffs, but easy on the skin:
Once I was in position, Randy produced my leather cuffs and slipped them onto my two wrists and two ankles. Designed as they are for restraint, each cuff has a small ring to allow attachment of a cord. Randy, of course, had other ideas. He grabbed a roll of grey duct tape from the top of his dresser (now, is that the sign of a real man or what?). He proceeded to fasten each cuff to a leg of the step stool by winding the tape around both cuff and leg. This had to have been the hard way, but it was effective enough. I was bound in place, fully exposed, and unable to move.
Need a bondage girl, to go? They’ve got ’em, at Whipped Ass:
Nothing like soft-sided luggage for moving a slavegirl.
Steph from Cunting Linguist has written an excellent “Bondage For Beginners” guide in two parts:
Most of the twenty zillion Bondage 101 articles on the net focus too much on the mechanics (how to tie the knots) or too much on safety. (Yes, I said “too much on safety.” Safety is vital, but bondage safety info is neck-deep on the internet. Anybody who is googling sees that first. You don’t need to repeat it endlessly. That’s why I tend to delete comments from the safety nazis who come through this blog and feel the need to “supplement” my content with their own safety views and advice.)
Whoops, mini-rant, now safely over. Anyway, Steph’s bondage guide doesn’t try to re-do the copious practical and safety information that’s out there. Instead, it’s a guide to making bondage fun and erotic, and it’s chock full of practical tips for that:
You’re bringing food into the equation because a) they’re at your mercy and b) if you’re doing it right, they’ll be blindfolded for a while. The fruit is practical and sensual at the same time. When the bondage play begins, and they’re blindfolded, feeding them a mystery fruit will have to force them to turn their senses on. It’s a pleasure trigger. They’ll need to figure out what they’re eating, thus making them sensually more alert for when you begin playing.
Or:
When you’re making your way up their body, be it with kisses or with drizzled syrup, going in a straight line doesn’t work as effectively as zig-zagging will. Why not? Because nerves like surprises, and if you’re working in a straight line, the body knows what’s coming next. This is always, always about surprising the senses.
Good stuff!
