Are zipties or handcuffs sufficient?

IT'S FETISH SHIT! I LIKE TO BIND AND BE BOUND!!!

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Only if your sub is cool with it, but they need to know going in that either option is likely to chafe and dig into the sensitive skin around their wrists, possibly even causing bleeding depending on how much they strain against them. Definitely not recommended for a first time if you don't know what your own responses to stimuli are likely to be.

Much better to use a soft hemp rope, around a quarter inch thick or more, and make sure you're binding with safe knots. You can't just go in with any old naval knot or whatever; there are specific bindings that are safe for use on people; look them up. Always check your bindings to ensure a safe amount of slack (you should be able to easily slide a finger around any part of the wrist or ankle for proper circulation) and always make sure you have a set of EMT clothing shears handy in case something goes wrong. No, kitchen scissors are not good enough; EMT shears have serration, and specially shaped blades, in order to cut through heavy fabric or bindings easily.

Also please don't use duct tape, there's literally no way to have it bind but also have sufficient slack. You will impede circulation. Just a terrible idea.

There are padded, even fuzzy, handcuffs. Zip ties are never going to be comfortable. The sign doesn't say anything about consent, though. It merely specifies "must."

It's not my bag, baby, so I know very little about that subculture... but FWIW "only if your sub is cool with it" should be a universally understood given, right? In the "goes without saying" way.

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

It should go without saying, but unfortunately there's a lot in the kink space that should go without saying, but still has to be said, over and and over, because a lot of people come into the scene via entry points like 50 Shades that are almost antithetical to the idea of safe consensual kink.

Also, fair warning, the "padding" on most padded cuffs won't do shit to stop them from digging in. Fabric compresses against metal, with the result that you still have an unyielding and relatively small point of contact. A good safe bondage knot will spread the point of restraint across several inches of skin, so the pressure at any one point is minimal.

Shibari You Can Use has some excellent guides to safe restraint, if you want to learn more.

Or does there need to be a metal bikini and giant slug involved?

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Tentacles. There need to be tentacles.

Damn fun, police!

[-] argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 44 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So, a man with long hair doesn’t need to be tied up (neither the man nor his hair).

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 75 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

A good friend liked to go to these kind of rhetorical legal battles with the school and the dress code. It was hilarious. She used neon green hair for three months due to a weird wording on some rule or another about colored hair. Then they would change it to something more restrictive but she would find the loopholes and challenge them again. She once got us to loan her our watches and wore over 20 wrist watches due to a stupid rule about bracelets. Wore all sorts of ridiculous clothes colors and patterns, and queues, horns and bunny ears. Went as a clown when they tried to regulate makeup. After two years of madness the school board called her to negotiate a truce. They removed the ancillary dress code, uniform was still mandatory but anything beyond the basic four pieces of clothing students would be free as long as it wasn't nudity or disrupted other students. Skirts were made optional, the origin of the whole conflict. In return she was just asked to stop trying to give the poor principal a heart attack (an old conservative religious hag).

She still wore colorful stuff and accessories after that. But at least she wasn't in heated arguments during detention everyday anymore. She wanted to abolish uniform altogether but in a way she sort of won.

Your friend sounds like an awesome person to hang out with.

[-] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

Maybe I'm just dumb but what does queue mean here? I thought it was like a line for people to wait in

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Oops, sorry. Not a native English speaker. Braids, rows, queues? I'm not sure which one is the correct word now. It was an extravagant haircut with lots of braids queued on the back.

[-] Rinox@feddit.it 4 points 1 year ago

Also not native, but I don't think you can't use the word queue or line for hair. You can use braids, you can use tail or you can say tied back.

I get it though cause in Italian we too have the same word for line of people and hair tail (coda)

Me, who hasn't cut my hair in very close to a decade now: can boys be included too? 🥺👉👈

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 20 points 1 year ago

Me neither! It reaches from my nostrils down past my lips.

[-] Akasazh@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

The old nosetache!

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 34 points 1 year ago

Look, I don't make the rules.

Just the signs 😉

Just settled all my lawsuits, fuck-you, Debbie!

[-] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Damn Debbie.

[-] BynaD@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

I have long hair, but thankfully this is not applicable as I am a man.

[-] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Who said guys couldn't be tired up.😉😉

[-] BynaD@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

The sign, but i'm listening😏

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If they’re a company that deals in exposed machinery where hair can be caught in running, then good for them. It’s protective. Being essentially called isn’t fun for anyone.

If they’re not- then fuck them.

EDIT: I get it now. Thanks! I’m not good at this type of humor. So I took it literally. Thanks even for the explanations.

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I feel like tying people up just for having long hair is a bit much, but I am also into rope play so whatever

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

I didn’t even catch that! Damn you ASD!

But then it applies to everyone with long hair.

[-] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm a metal dude who works in a chemistry lab. We exist.

[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

That's not what it says though. It says that the girl must be tied up if they have long hair.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah. That was explained to me. I’m not good at subtle humor. So I didn’t get it at first.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Food service as well.

Got to keep your hair out of the spinning mavhinery like a lathe those can scalp you or just suck you in and if it can cut metal it rarely cares about flesh and bone

[-] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Not as kinky

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

We get it lemmy, there's a lot of dudes here with long hair. I think we all already knew that, but it's nice to confirm? Anyway, you can stop now.
