crossed or pressed together wrists through this loop. Now test the tension between your bent legs and wrists. If the rope is too long, wrap it around your ankles for another turn. You really cannot take too many turns around you feet, so use this method as the way to get the proper length, remembering that in doing so, you further inhibit freeing your feet. By bending your knees, you should be able to have enough rope for the final double loop for your hands. As always, test and experiment with this method BEFORE you tighten up, making sure that the tension between feet and hands is not so great as to lock the wrist loop to a point where you cannot release it. Note also that even though you have used a sheet bend to make the initial long loop, releasing this knot may not, in an emergency, allow you to free your hands if the hands loop is too tight or otherwise restricted. In the best case, you get out of this by arching your body a bit more, bringing your ankles close to your hands and slipping the doubled loop off your wrists.
           Is it better to cross your wrists or place them side my side in the double loop? I don't know. Sometimes one way works better than another. Nevertheless, what you do not want to do is place a cinch on both loops. The function of cinching any rope is to make it stay tight and in this case, you want to be able to release the wrist loop, so do not cinch it...ever.
    Variations on the hogtie
           Experienced self-bondagers will tell and show you a tremendous range of hogtie situations. One common interest position is, as I mentioned before, pulling the arms back and getting the elbows close together. This is not easy and often not safe. Perfecting such a position takes a lot of planning and testing, but it can be done. The real problem is not getting your elbows bound; it's getting out of it. As many BDSM practitioners know, the combination of a chest harness, a hair tie, elbow bondage and hogtie can render even the most enthusiastic captive nearly immobile. Attempts to use the same arrangement in auto bondage can be very challenging. Since this survey asked for specifics of my own experience, I can tell you how I have, on a few occasions, managed to achieve this or part of this position. Once in it, I experienced the very strong, somewhat claustrophobic need to escape at once, the position was so strict. That back-of-the-brain fear of being abandoned for a long period in such a strict situation quickly came to the front of my head and I wanted out, quite desperately. Here's a summary of how I did this initially:
           First of all, I decided not to use rope or some other flexible media. I elected cuffs and chain for reasons that I will explain as we go along. My first move was to put on a stainless steel, rubber-lined, shaped collar that has several D rings on its outside circumference. I locked it and attached a two-foot long, light chain with snap hooks at each end. These snap hooks are very small and it took some time to get them into the D rings on each side of the collar. Sliding free on the chain was a two-inch brass ring with a large double snap hook attached to it. This ring slides along the chain and the snap hook makes a good attachment point for the elbow cuffs once the chain is behind me and the hooks reach down my back. In this case, the chain was not quite long enough, so I added another double snap hook to the sliding one and this brought the hook close enough to connect it with the elbow cuffs, which were not yet ready.
           Then I locked a pair of closely connected leg irons on my ankles. A single link of chain connected the twin cuffs and brought my ankles close together. This meant that the side-by-side ankle position was going to be used. I knew I could set this up for crossed ankles, but the side-by-side seemed stricter. I closed the security lock on the cuffs to hold them in this one setting and not tighten further. [Note: security locking any
