What are hogtie restraints?
“What are hogtie restraints?” was written for BDSMforyou.nl by Mistress Moriah.
Perhaps I should first explain what hogtie bondage is. A hogtie is the binding of the hands and feet behind the sub’s back. Often, he lies on his stomach so that you can tie him up properly. Hogtie is an English expression from the days of the cowboys. They tied the cattle’s legs together so that they couldn’t run away. A beautiful and, above all, effective form of bondage.
Hogtie restraints
The sub is tied up in a position where their ankles and wrists are bound behind their back. This can be done with a regular rope, but if you’re not very skilled at this, there are also special restraints available. Hogtie restraints. The middle section, which connects the restraints, is what makes these restraints different from other restraints.
Look at your sub lying there, defenseless. He can’t go anywhere, even if he wanted to. What a beautiful sight… completely at the mercy of your whims and passion.
Frogtie
You can choose to combine a hogtie with a frogtie. A frogtie is a bondage technique in which the heels are tied to the upper legs. This makes him look a bit like a frog, which is where the name ‘frogtie’ comes from. If you tie the forearms at the elbow, the big toes together, and put a gag in his mouth, then you have a ‘pretzel’. .
But whatever you do, or however you do it, these restraints can help you. You can also combine the restraints with rope or other fun toys. Some will experience this form of bondage as ‘exciting’, for others it is pure punishment.
Hogtie restraints
Hogtie restraints are designed to make things easy for you. Especially if you are less skilled at tying knots and still want to hogtie your sub, these restraints are the perfect solution. It’s child’s play and your sub will be just as securely restrained as if you had tied him with ropes.
Different designs
Like most toys, hogtie cuffs are available in different designs. A standard set consists of 5 pieces: four cuffs (2x wrist, 2x ankle) and a center piece, which you can use to connect all the cuffs. But there are also more extensive sets available. Or just a separate center piece, which is handy if you already have the rest of the cuffs. Most sets are black, but hogtie restraints are available in different colors, such as white and pink. Whatever you like.
Other names
This type of restraint is mainly known as hogtie restraints, but you will also come across names such as: ‘keep still bondage set’, ‘leather cross with ring’ or ‘Frisky Stay Put Cross Tie Restraints’.
Use
If you limit yourself to the hogtie restraint set, it is very easy to use. You lay your partner on their stomach and attach the restraints to each other on their back using the connecting piece. The wrist restraints go around the wrists and the ankle restraints around the ankles. The middle piece ensures that the hands and feet are now nice and close together. Is it comfortable? No, of course not. But does it have to be?
Make sure that your sub can continue to breathe properly and that the muscles are not under tension for too long. Even if the mouth and nose are free, it can be difficult to breathe properly. Especially when the head is tied back and there is a lot of tension on the chest muscles. It is therefore important to keep observing your sub or to agree on a ‘safe word or code word’. Fortunately, the cuffs can be removed just as quickly as they are put on.
Also, keep in mind that blood circulation should not be restricted for too long. Of course, this applies to any form of bondage.
Cleaning
The cuffs are easy to clean with a special toycleaner.
