If your partner is new to hogtying, have them lay on their back and then bind their wrists and ankles in front of them to make it easier on their body.
Use a rope that’s about 8 ft (2. 4 m) long so you have plenty to work with once you fold it in half.
If you have lots of excess rope, make a third loop around your partner’s wrist.
Pull both ends so they extend parallel with your partner’s arms, perpendicular to the loops of rope underneath. It doesn’t matter which direction the bight or ends point (they can go either way, depending on which end lays on top when you cross them).
Wrap the loose ends around at least one fun time.
Your partner’s wrists are now securely tied, but not so tightly bound that they’re in pain or losing circulation. If the rope is too tight or too loose, undo it and start again. Practice makes perfect! If you’re struggling to rope their wrists or are concerned about circulation issues, try substituting handcuffs (they’re easier to adjust and remove).
Lay each coil of rope next to the one before it instead of layering the coils on top of each other. Wrap firmly, but leave enough slack that you can easily slide 2 fingers between the rope and your partner’s skin so they don’t lose circulation.
Pull both ends so they extend parallel with your partner’s legs.
The bight can point up or down, depending on which way you tie it. If the rope is too tight or too loose, undo your tie and start again to make sure your partner is comfortable. If you’re struggling to tie up their ankles or are worried about circulation, try experimenting with handcuffs (they’re faster to adjust and remove).
Once the bight is through, feed the working end of the rope through it and cinch it tight to secure it around the wrist cuff.
Loop the rope at least once to hold the ankles in place. Add as many additional loops as you can, but leave enough spare rope to tie your finishing knot.
Ask your partner if they’re comfortable with the slack between their ankles and wrists. Make sure your partner can breathe comfortably once their wrists and ankles are connected. If their breath is labored, increase the slack on the binding rope. If there’s not enough slack, undo your knot and lengthen the amount of rope between their ankles and wrists. Then, re-tie the final knot to finish the hogtie.
Stay away from nylons, scarves, or low-quality handcuffs. These could cut off circulation or even cause nerve damage. If you’re new to bondage, try using handcuffs around the wrists and ankles instead of rope. They’re easier to remove in case your partner needs a break.
If your partner experiences any of these symptoms, stop immediately and untie or cut the ropes so they can recover.
Consider a second safe word ti indicate your partner is close to their limit, but not there yet. This lets you know to ease off or try something else.
