 |
| My bondage chair features an assortment
of leather straps - strategically positioned to restrain
every part of the human body. I have always fantasized
about being restrained in bizarre and extreme bondage
devices, so a few years ago I set out to build a bondage
chair to fulfill my secret fantasies. Building this chair
took more than a year, and the chair has been through
many revisions since it's inception. |
|
| I
asked my friends Darren and Michelle to
meet me at the store and take a few pictures.
When they arrived, Darren was wearing his
latex suit which he had purchased from Mister
S a few weeks before. So, I suggested that
we strap Darren into the chair as the first demonstration
of the day. |
|
| I had a latex hood with me,
and knew that combining Darren's suit
with the hood and bondage chair would make
an exciting scene for the Mister S customers. |
|
| The hood
is made by maxcita.com in Canada, and as you can see it conforms to Darren's head
and facial features. This is |
|
|
|
an anatomical hood, made of one piece
of latex which was dip-molded around a form. There
are are no openings in the hood except for
two small breathing holes under Darren's nose - and
a zipper up the back of the head. Darren is completely
blind while wearing this hood, which is a fantastic
sensory depravation and bondage experience in itself.
Needless to say, this is a very intense hood to wear,
as well as to be seen by others. |
|
|
|
Darren
stood motionless as I pulled the hood over
his head and adjusted it's contours to his
face. I then tucked the wide latex collar of
the hood into Darren's suit, which completely |
enclosed
his head, neck and shoulders with overlapping
latex. We were striving for the maximum visual
impact, so it was necessary to avoid showing
Darren's skin at all costs! Without skipping
a beat, Michelle applied a coat of latex polish
to Darren's entire suit. The two of us were
like a kinky bondage SWAT team, highly trained
in the art of restraint in the shortest amount
of time! |
|
|
|
|
| Darren
could feel the gradual restriction of the
straps, which was certainly an erotic turn-on
for him, as well as for the rest of us.
Once I had Darren secured in the chair,
I grabbed a leather muzzle from a display
rack in the store, which I pulled over
his head and buckled in place. The muzzle
increases Darren's sense of confinement
and restriction, and allows his head to
be secured to the top of the chair - as
you will soon see. In addition, the muzzle creates
a more intense and bizarre visual image
for the rest of us, which is a lot of fun! |
|
| I secured the muzzle's
neck collar to the back of the chair with
a small metal clip (behind Darren's head),
and connect the "D" ring at the
top of the muzzle to the top of the chair
with a short chain (see small overhead
perspective photo - below right). |

|
|
|
| Clearly,
this is the stuff nightmares and bondage
fantasies are made of. Which one do you think
of when you look at these photos, a nightmare
or a fantasy? If you had a chance to experience
this chair in a safe setting, among people
you trust, would you be inclined to give
it a try? Under the right conditions, this
chair might change from a nightmare to a
fantasy. |
|
| Ya know, we forgot to bring ear plugs for
Darren. Damn. The ultimate in bondage and
sensory depravation can be achieved with
ear plugs! Oh well, I'll remember to bring
them next time. |
|
| Darren's wrists are pinned to the arms of
the chair by 4 foot long leather "U" straps.
Each strap starts at the bottom of the chair,
loops up and around each wrist, then ducks
back down to the bottom of the chair again.
The two ends of each "U" strap
are connected together, and secured with
a large buckle on each side of the chair.
To make this explanation a little clearer,
the "U" strap arrangement allows
the |
|
wrist straps
to be cinched down tightly by pulling equally
on both sides of the straps from the bottom
of the chair. |
|
| This allows the wrist straps to be very
efficient and effective - and in addition,
they look really scary! It's my opinion that
both functionality and the visual image are important
while creating serious bondage scenarios. Don't you agree? Click to enlarge the images to the left or right to see what I mean. Intense indeed! |
|
|
|
|
|
| Darren's
lower torso is secured by an extra-heavy four inch
strap around his waist, and a pair of smaller straps
that pass between his legs. This prevents him from
moving, wiggling, or stimulating himself. Hummm...
why would he want to do that? |
|
| At this point Michelle checked
in with Darren to confirmed that he can both hear
and talk fairly easily. Care should always be taken
to check with the person in bondage, especially
if they're in a hood and their mouth and eyes are
covered. It's the responsibility of the person
doing the tying to make sure the person in bondage
is both physically and emotionally OK. Remember,
safety is always first. |
|
|
| After
we pulled his hood off, Darren was surprised
to see a line of people who waiting to
try the chair. We should of charged $20
per person and donated the proceeds to
the Folsom AIDS fundraising! |
|
| Darren enjoyed his experience
in the chair, and attracted a lot of attention
from customers who were shopping in the store.
As time passed, Darren discovered that the bondage
chair was actually quite comfortable, and he was
somewhat disappointed when it was time to release
him. All told, Darren was in the chair for around
90 minutes. |

|
| The
photos below, the owner of the
Mister S store (Richard Hunter)
couldn't resist the good photo
opportunity, so he climbed up
on top of the bondage chair to
get an overhead shot! Richard
loved the chair, and was going
to publish a photo of the chair
in his next catalog supplement!
All right! |

|
|
 |
|
|
| All
in all, a good time was had by everyone
at the Mister S store during the 2001 Folsom
Street Fair. It was a chance to show off
my bondage chair, but more importantly
it was an opportunity for people to see
and experience serious bondage in a safe
and fun environment. |
|
|
| We are lucky to be living
in an age where alternative sexual interests
are starting to be shared and calibrated
in public settings. In San Francisco, this
openness comes in the wake of the Gay movement
which spent years challenging the suppression
of alternative sexual lifestyles. |
|
| Thank you to Richard Hunter
and his Mister-S store for providing a safe
place to make this bondage chair demonstration
a success! |
