Want to make a Suspension Tripod? Here’s how!

Portable, easily concealable Suspension Tripods are a goal sought by many a Kink! There’s a Great discussion going on over at Fetlife about them.

If you are willing to spend a bit of cash (not much, really) and take the time to learn, here’s the basics you’ll need to know.

BondageLessons.com has a rundown on the materials and techniques. See the page Here.

YouTube has a great video showing us all how to tie a tripod. I’ve included it below.

This really is a cool bit of technique for anyone interested in building a basic, portable suspension rig.

Just remember…BE CAREFUL!! And you do this at your own risk. Any suspension is dangerous and DungeonPlace.com takes no responsibility for your actions.

Have fun!

MindnBody – What’s in your bag?

MindnBody is one of my favorites, and I’m proud to call him my friend. DarlingEvil and I have done several scenes with him, photographed several. His specialty (although, it’s only one skill in a vast arsenal) is Rope.

I asked him to share with us what he carries in his Rope Bag. Most of his rope comes from the notorious Twisted Monk (That man really needs to sponsor this Site…)

Needles, floating beds and the firey twists

The very first play party I attended was in a community house. Each room had been converted into an encapsulated playspace.

Terror play, needle play, flogging, rigging, fisting, sounds, electical play, knife play…. From Thud to Snap to Edge it was there and I was in overdrive.

The scene that I remember most was done on a bed suspended from the ceiling. The sub had at least a hundred needles running through his body. Each needle was carefully tied with delicate line which was fastened to various points above the bed. The needle portion alone was hypnotic, but I laughed aloud when the sadistic fun really started.

The Domme gently began swinging the bed back and forth, each line pulled on each needle.

The sub groaned – deep, low, long. Skin pulled along his frame as the bed tensioned various bits.

Scenes like those make impressions. They define. They make us either run or grin.

This one made me think, drove me to learn and propelled me forward.

Finding the New

357

There’s always a whole lot going on.  Wander between rooms to see the various works. Listen to the sounds of play.

It’s always interesting to see the takes on ropes, needles, fire, floggers, single tails. And I retrospect on what I do and wonder…”where’s the new?”

So I look deep. I eye common things sideways and wonder how they’d bend. Inspiration could come from anywhere and I want it. I want to see and do something new.

And I want to ask…

Where do you get your inspiration for Scene work?

Lew Rubens Does it right

DarlingEvil and I are very fortunate. We live in an area with an active BDSM community that strives to educate its members. Through the years I’ve seen many presenters come in to share their knowledge. A very, very few have left me with so much as Lew Rubens.

Some of you may be familiar with Lew’s work. He currently operates the Site www.boundndetermined.com where his amazing and innovative rope work is on display.

Earlier I mentioned that Rope was never a big priority in my play; for DarlingEvil it’s a passion.  She loves the feel of rope, she loves tying people, suspending them and playing with her helpless victims.

Imagine how she felt when Lew taught her how easy it was to suspend someone my size…or larger?

It’s an experience I look forward to seeing her post. But imagine…a whisp of a woman easily suspending a person twice her weight and nearly a foot taller?

We had been studying rope for a few months prior to the class and had learned enough to boggle our brains.

What Lew taught us in those 16 hours simply blew our minds. Amazing. We’re still processing it.

Thank you Lew.
