the serenity of shackles (7)

BDSM and my submission fulfills two areas for me. One is sexual, the other is in terms of inner peace and silencing the roars in my mind.

Bondage was always something that I knew about, years before I knew I had a *name*, years before knowing I wasn't the freak I always believed myself to be. I had been tied to the bed by ex boyfriends, even Mr V and I had tried it in our early days. It never clicked fully until fairly recently.

Last year a planned weekend away was aborted and I ended up unexpectedly in London and Hades. I was incredibly stressed out. I was restless. A good friend tied me up and for the first time I spaced out just from bondage. I say *just* like it's nothing special, just a bit of rope, just a few boy scout learned knots. But it isn't.

One of my favourite things about rope bondage is watching the person who is tying me's face. The look of concentration. The look of creativity. The look of imagination run wild. I adore that moment when they discover a new avenue to travel down. A new place to take us both.

The rope starts to wrap around me. I concentrate, my breath slows, my heart beats. I stare into his eyes, I watch as he no longer sees anything but rope, flesh and possibilities. The rope slides behind my neck leaving goosebumps in its wake. It tightens around my wrists, it pulls my limbs to his will.

A particular favourite is asymetric bondage. Bent, positioned, atoned. Angular, lying like a broken twisted rag doll. Chalk a white line around me and whisper goodbye...

Rope is a treasure and takes me to a very special, serene place, but chain, chain trancends all bonds.

After an hour or so in rope a degree of give occurs. If one wriggles and burrows enough the rope slackens slightly. Heat from your skin softens it a touch. There is always the possibility of teeth finding an end and slowly uncoiling knots. Even if you never escape and never wish to, a part of you knows you *could*.

Steel is unyielding. Nothing loosens this imprisonment. No amount of acrobatics releases the captive. Different weights of chain and padlock. Heavy thick and harsh around your neck. The padlock resting in the hollow of your throat. Its mass a burden on your soft skin. Waist wrapped in more chain, wrists shackled. Thin chains crisscrossed over black spike stilletos and padlocked into place.

There is the initial shiver of cold as the chain first meets hot skin. It warms into you. But when you move, after hours held subjugated, links left lonely are now ice cold again and brush your skin once more. The enticing shiver returns.

Chain cuts into your skin, padlocks pull, shackles resist every movement.

Chained in a corner. Neck collared to steel pinned to bolt in the wall. Way out of your reach even if you desired to make the change. Which you don't. Enthralled by the confinement.

Positioned and captured on the bed, his precious detainee. He disapears from the room, leaving you incarcerated yet so free. White bed, cold metal, curtain breezing onto your loose hair. He brings you lunch, sets it down on the table as he steps closer with key in hand. Enslavement is over. Or not. He unlocks one padlock only, so you can half sit up. He places your carefully prepared lunch just that little bit too far in front of you. He sits in his chair and silently watches as you struggle to find balance, to find a path. Head must bob, arm must search for a bend, neck turns to swallow, lifts to chew. Robotic almost as the chain remains so solid despite movement.

Lunch is over and back to the beguiling imprisonment.

Such exquisite freedom in such restriction. Perfect.

You can be immobilised with a pair of shoe laces! Double jointed or not.

can you escape from a neck shackle bolted to the wall? you can colour me impressed if you can!
it's obviously different strokes etc as escaping isn't my desire.

I can't nope (well...depending how its attached to the wall/secured) and nor do I want to escape, but it still needs to be real for me.
I like metal restraints too, but only the high quality/expensive stuff is usually good enough to be classed as inescapable.

I seem to remember a few simple chains keeping you in place just fine.

That's because chains are more flexible/adjustable than solid wrist cuff type things =] plus it was only because I let you do my wrists uncomfortably tight, hence me giving up so quick =P
