Self bondage for the budget minded.

[si****]

I blame this one on my wife/Senpai. That stupid scene in Free Guy with the inflatable thingy. Well you can't buy one, you can buy something similar but it costs like 900 bucks. Oh hell no!

So I tried pool rings, but they were not practical. Then I saw a deal on a twin size air mattress for 80% off on Amazon (cost was 16 or 17 bucks) and I ordered 2. I used some LePage flexible plastic contact adhesive to glue them together, leaving a gap for me to fit in. Using a remote controlled plug (I have a bunch in my camping supplies to turn on/off different appliances), some silicone tubing that I had from an old project I can inflate the mattresses from inside via a shopvac. Added some straps with quick connections that I had extras of from camping (cost 8 bucks) so no wriggling out and a strap around both mattresses near where my arms/hands are. Toss in some 3 foot lengths of pool noodles (cost 1.99) and it worked quite well.

But how to get out? I had a bunch of old solenoid valves left over from irrigation jobs that run on 12 volts and rigged one to a timer. Well I failed to check the CFM (cubic feet per minute) capacity and spent an unhappy hour waiting for enough air to evacuate. Switched to a 1/2 inch and voila, it worked (about 3-5 minutes to release air).

Now, I just can't leave well enough alone, it turns out that the straps at the front caused too much pressure on my jaw and head in general making breathing difficult (and potentially dangerous). So I found an old mop bucket outside (cleaned it up and insulated it's interior with foam) and it is placed inside, providing a space for my entire head and allowing movement from the neck up (no restrictions).

So I first tried a large ball gag and then the hood with the open mouth gag (unplugged) and happily drooled into the bucket for the 5-10 minutes of each experiment. Well last night I set the timer for 30 minutes and because of the near complete sensory deprivation I lost track of time. I began to panic a little (and then more) that the timer had failed, or the solenoid had. It seemed much, much longer than 30 minutes (actually about 25 minutes as it takes that long to get in, set myself and to inflate fully) and having no means of escape, held completely incapacitated, unable to move was very intense. Possibly the most intense I have ever experienced.

Even though the air leaked out (minutely, as no system is truly closed) it would have taken several hours (6?, 8?, maybe longer) before escape was possible. It was at this point that I realized that I should probably have let my wife know what I was doing. Oops, my bad. And so, as I was beginning to panic and the *** thundered in my ears I vowed to not experiment without her at least knowing (if not observing/supervising). Believe it or not, I do not want to die.

I want to try it again (for longer) with ear plugs (or earbuds. White noise? or Hypnosis?) and wearing a thick neoprene wetsuit, but I am afraid to try it alone. Plus I ordered a pair of inflatable pool noodles from Temu that will make using the remote near impossible (when they eventually get here). Also going to add a partially inflated yoga ball between my legs. When everything is inflated, every single square inch of me should be held firm, like being held by flexible cement. The goal is for complete restriction of movement, no escape possible.

Stupid question, but, does anyone of you have any ideas how to make this even more restrictive, more intense, any ideas on how to really up the game?

This sounds like such a cool, DIY bondage idea. But you should really try make it a bit more safe and make sure your wife knows and maybe at least checks up on you every now and then. Also, I've seen Free Guy three times I'm pretty sure but I have no idea which scene you mean with an inflatable thingy??

The scene near the beginning of the film when Ryan Reynolds is falling from the building after attempting (and missing) to leap upon a wreaking ball. He selects an inflatable suit (like a big bag filled with air) and he in the middle of it. It of course bounces and saves him (LoL, saves a fictional character from a video game) and as it deflates he manages to wriggle out and run away.

 

And I agree with you on the observer (wife/Senpai) who is usually watching me via two security cameras and can at anytime turn off/on the plugs controlling the electronics via her phone. As she is fond of pointing out, I still need adult supervision and if she hasn't heard from me in a bit, I am probably getting into trouble.

One of my first DIY self bondage scenarios involved a vacbed made from a mattress vacuum bag, some PVC pipe, a little tubing, one way vales, etc. and utilizing a small vacuum pump capable of -75KPa (about -25 inHg) which is close to a perfect vacuum. I at least did extensive testing before using this one as the pressure was so low it would rupture even protected eardrums. So I made a neck gasket from a 36in latex rubber balloon. The results were spectacular with one exception. I did too good of a job in sealing the system and had to wait almost 2 hours (with my wife laughing at me) before enough air entered to allow me to move my hand to the seal. Oops. Timers, solenoids and valves were quickly added.

So it was a logical (at least in my addled mind) leap from vacuum to inflation as the principle means of incapacitation.

I am currently working on a design using ropes, pulleys and miniature block and tackle to do a perfect chair bondage scene by distribution (hopefully uniformly) to each bondage point (e.g. ankles, thighs, knees, waist, chest and arms behind with wrists and elbows pulled together and then pulled down.

Who says a degree in engineering is useless!
