Elbows

What is your experience with being tied by the/tieing someone's elbows in TUGs? In any configuration, together behind the back is the first one that comes to mind, but also together in front, as part of a chair tie, etc., etc. I think its a near necessity when coming up with something difficult to escape, as free elbows allow for the victim to move their arms apart or over their legs.

But, it is often uncomfortable, even painful, and from my experience a lot of people aren't really able to do it (when it comes to behind their back). My only experience typing someone's elbows was my sister's as described in my story with her, but even for her some practise was required beforehand (assuming the position every so often so that she could rotate her shoulders all the way) and she's pretty flexible.

There is also the case for binding elbows that are not necessarily touching, which I think is a good middle ground.

What's everyone's thoughts?

I usually don't tie (or get tied) elbows. My wife's arms are rather short to begin with, and I'm not so flexible either. If my elbows were pulled together behind the back, my arms would get numb quickly, and that might be dangerous. But it's true that with persistent training, they become more flexible!

But a chest harness always includes the elbows, too. In some shibari images, you might think: What, the wrists are tied so loosely, and not even cinched, she can slip out of that easily! No, she can't, because she cannot move her elbows...

Another position involving elbows is overhead, specifically a triceps stretch applied to both at same time (putting arms overhead and touching opposing elbows). Something can be used to lock arms in place, choice of material up to person. It frames head while moving arms out of way, allowing back access if desired.

I've had my elbows tied one time. It makes trying to get out your hands really hard . I remember it hurt trying to get out so I lay still.

Having elbows tied sounds fun.

I'd love to have my elbows tied, would make it harder to escape and much more restrictive :D but I don't think I'm flexible enough to have them touching behind my back sadly.

I'd love to be tied up like this (not my image): https://64.media.tumblr.com/1ae170f1d38 ... 39b90a.jpg I think it's called a box tie? Elbows tied to sides of my body and then wrists stacked with hands pointing opposite eachother. I think it would be inescapable if done right :D

Having my elbows tied is definitely a "fantasy vs reality" thing for me. Thinking about it in a general sense, I would love to be in a JJ Plush style hogtie with my elbows touvhing, gagged heavy, pulled together in a package so tight I look like I could be just picked up and carried like a suitcase.

Realistically, first thing I think of is something that's difficult to escape becoming borderline impossible if my arms go numb. And from someone who's been stuck a few times once the intrusive thoughts set in of passing out while gagged or other complications from being tightly bound long term my fun didn't stay fun. Thankfully my wife knows of my extracurricular activity so explaining what happened wouldn't be as awkward as her being horrified of my safety.

Ideally it'd be nice if she would try to tie(or tape ) my elbows. I'd be fine with a nice armbinder, though what I REALLY need invented is a self bondage armbinder made with a electronic tine locking/tightening and release mechanism.

I've seen people use zip up armbinders for selfbondage. Just attach a ring to the end of the zip then hook it on something e.g. a drawer handle and you can zip and unzip it behind your back. Not something I've tried cause I worry I'll get stuck lol but if I had someone to release me I defo would :D
