A Device for Self-Bondage

By Marknorth

I thought I would share my personal best bondage story and self-bondage technique. Here’s the problem: I live in a rural area and there aren’t too many bondage buddies to be found, making it difficult to be kept as a prisoner on a regular basis. Well, self-bondage is the only option. I am, however, continually frustrated by the fact that I do need to be able to get out of the bonds; making the “scene” somewhat less than “real” for me.

It seems that no matter what I came up with there was always a way to get out earlier than I really would want. As is common, once I cum I usually want the scene to be over — with most of the tricks of self-bondage there is usually a “safe way out” just in case. Knowing that lessens the fun for me.

 

[[Warning: self-bondage is dangerous. Be sure you have an exit strategy in place before attempting something like this.]]

 

I have tried other self-bondage tricks, but I just never feel that I am truly detained. There is, of course, the fact that I do eventually need to get out!

So, what’s a bondage slave to do to heighten the reality of self-bondage?

The solution: This certainly isn’t an original idea as I have seen it referenced by others, but I have cobbled together a relatively inexpensive electronic timer that controls an electromagnet — it acts as my “key holder,” placed well out of reach. All of the components are hardware store finds. The programmable timer is actually one used for outdoor lights (i.e., Christmas lights, spotlights, etc.) and the electromagnet is the kind that is used to hold doors open in public buildings. It runs on 120 volts and shuts off as soon as the power is cut. Wiring the timer to the electromagnet is a snap — I used an electrical box that I had laying around to mount the electromagnet and timer to and mounted the whole contraption between the joists in an unfinished area of my lower level. Before I play, I put any ladders, step stools, etc., in a locking storage room so that I cannot get to the keys, and I typically lock my ankles pretty close together so that climbing on something would be tough anyway.

Close-up

The timer has numerous settings — so there are plenty of options. The timer can be set to shut off at the same time every day (24 hours), shut off in 1 to 8 hours, or shut off in a random amount of time.

As mentioned above, the need to make the scene more realistic means that I do not leave myself an out; once the timer is set and the keys are hanging there I am “stuck.” I do not recommend this for anyone, but it works for me! The only safety factors I use are never locking myself to anything fixed (well, more on that later) and I do not lock my hands behind my back — so I could always shuffle over to the neighbors if needed!

The set-up: The first time I used this set-up I wanted it to last for quite awhile, but was a little cautious, so I set the timer to release in 4 hours. I set out all of the locks (unlocked), restraints, etc., and lock all of the keys in a lockbox — the key to unlock the box is on the electromagnet out of reach.

From Below

I love leather restraints so I locked on wrist and ankle restraints, connected a short chain between the ankles (just enough to allow a slow shuffle ) .  I have a comfortable leather hood (only nose holes) that I pulled on and locked (before I chickened out — remember no keys to the locks are accessible . )  I connected a length of chain from the ankle chain to the D-ring on the collar of the hood and locked the wrist cuffs to that chain. I was locked in for the duration! I don’t know how long it was before I couldn’t help myself and jacked off — I was so hard from being really stuck in bondage. Afterward, though, I had no way to free myself and the frustration mounted. The hood was restrictive and the chains made even little movements tough — in other words, I was at the mercy of that damned timer! Four hours passed in what seemed like 10 hours, but I eventually was freed. It was great!

I use it all the time now by myself and have recently had it used on me. A buddy of mine visited for a few days — he’s into bondage, so we had a lot of fun together. I showed him the timer and told him that when he left he should lock me up and set it to whatever time he wanted up to eight hours. He was leaving on a Friday afternoon, so I had the whole weekend ahead of me.

I let him pick the gear — a one-piece leather motorcycle racing suit that fits like a glove and he used the most severe hood that I have (it’s a sensory deprivation hood with three sets of locking straps, a locking collar, and a small grommet mouth) and strapped it on pretty damn tight. When it was locked on I could barely mumble and the straps were tight enough to limit my hearing quite a bit. He used the leather ankle restraints, but locked them together with a large lock that he also attached a chain up to the collar of the hood. My wrists were locked together with a short length of chain that was locked to the vertical chain at waist level. I could shuffle slowly, reach my dick (so I could at least piss), and that was about it. He used the chain on the collar to pull me around the basement to get me heated up and he kept playing with my dick to keep me hard as hell. It was, however, time for him to leave.

He led me back to where I had an old cot (so I had somewhere to rest) and let me know that there were several bottles of water and a straw there (the straw fits through the grommet in the hood). I could barely hear him through the hood, but he said he had to go. He said, loudly enough: “You are definitely one screwed boy now. I set the timer like you wanted, but I didn’t think it fair to leave you for eight hours. So I set it for 24 — have fun fucker!” And he pushed me down on the cot.

Through the hood I really didn’t hear him leave, but I knew he had gone after a while. I knew he was kidding about the timer to mess with me, but as time went on I started to really wonder if he had been serious. I don’t know how long it took for the hood to start to become uncomfortable, but the more I thought about it the worse it got. My jaw was held pretty tightly closed and couldn’t hear anything, the straps held it tight to my head so it was very warm. I had no concept of the passage of time, the more uncomfortable I became the harder I seemed to get — I tried to rest, maybe I slept, I shuffled around to the bathroom. I couldn’t climb the stairs if I wanted to — I really was screwed. What if he really didn’t set the timer and didn’t leave a key at all? I panicked several times and had to force myself to calm down, as it was hard to breathe in the hood. It became apparent that I had to trust that he did set the timer (he was a buddy, after all), but the bastard definitely set it for 24 hours. I was alone and helpless — but I guess I got what I had wanted.

I had never spent that much time in bondage. The timer was for 24 hours, and I eventually found the key on the floor and was able to let myself out. My jaw was aching, my head hurt, my wrists and ankles were sore, but I was still hard as hell! The bastard did call the next day to make sure that I was out and laughed his ass off at the predicament he left me in — I threatened revenge, but I knew it wouldn’t happen, as I was the slave boy who wanted what he got.

I am trying to build up the courage to lock myself in again for another 24 hour stint — maybe this weekend?

  1. Hot, nice story. ;)

    Planning to set up something like this myself when I get the time – I’m in the same situation re: play buddies.

    I’d like to point out that running it off of a battery will improve the safety, because no matter what kind of electrical failure you get, the battery will drain in the end (do some tests). Also, if you depend on seeing what you’re doing to unlock, ensure you have a flashlight on hand in case of a power outage (… yup, that was fun. :/)

  2. Two other safe means to release yourself: Ice always melts and the sun always comes up.

    An ice sock is a 2nd way of having a safe way out. Simply fill a tube sock with ice cubes, the more cubes the longer the delay. Put a solid 2″ diameter Brass or Stainless Steel ring over the sock, then hang the sock to the ceiling. I use a tarp clip to clip the sock to an eye-bolt screwed into my ceiling. Attach your key(s) to the ring. When the ice fully melts, the ring will fall to the floor, and you have access to your key. Make sure nothing will snag the ring or your keys to the sock, and prevent them from dropping to the floor.

    A 3rd way is to put your key(s) in a safe with a combination lock, where the dial can be viewed when the sun comes up. Just in case other means keep you locked down, by morning you can free yourself. The danger of this method is in order to insure you don’t have access to a light source, you have to remove light bulbs, and/or restrict your movement to the room your confined in. I have even attached a combination lock (like a gym lock) to a chain wrapped around my closet rod. The key attached to that lock unlocks a chain that tethers my leg irons to the bed post. While standing up, I can reach the lock with my hands, but it’s too short to reach the tether chain on the floor.

    The cool thing about both of these, is they pack up really quick so if friends don’t about your fetish, they have no clue.

  3. I removed a ceiling fan and installed a magnetic lock in its place. The only way to cut the power is with the circuit breaker on the back of the house. I use a digital 7 day timer and program each day of the week with a different off (release) time. Currently it is set for 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 10 hours. At the start of the session I set the actual clock time to midnight (00:00), cover the display window and hold down the buttons to set the day of the week for at least 30 seconds. The
    day of the week cycles until the buttons are released. I now have an unknown release time between 6 and 10 hours. You can program release times of over 24 hours, but so far I haven’t had the desire.

    It is really easy to make a mistake when programming this timer. As a backup I use a 24 mechanical timer with levers for every 30 minutes. I set this timer for a little over the maximum time and place it in series with the digital timer. This has saved me on several occasions. A
    power failure will cause the magnetic lock to drop the key.

  4. Mark,
    Like the self bondage idea. Could you tell me how to build this contraption or could I pay you to do it for me?

    Thanks,
    Rob

  5. Great story and very hepful information!
    For those who don’t want to construct such a self-bondage kit on their own I’d recommend a similar device at www . selfbondage – shop . com
    The principle with an electro magnet and timer is the same – the difference is that it is not connected to the normal power by socket but to a power bar. Once the power bar is empty the electro magnet opens. That’s an additional safety feature and it depends on the loaded power after which duration the default opening happens
