Ever been tied up?

In My Humble Opinion
1

And I don’t mean as part of some kinky sexual act.
I reckon this is an interesting enough question to be worthwhile asking. (I hate having to defend my threads these days to the tards that run the SDMB)

Anyway. I was once tied up by a bully (and future serial law-breaker I have no doubt). I think I was somewhere about ten years old give or take 3 years. I remember it because I feared for my life. This person had gained my trust, and then tied me up.

That’s almost all I can remember. I can’t remember who untied me. I can’t remember what they did while I was tied. I can remember exactly where it was (I could probably find the place quite easilly even now). I can’t remember much else.
So, have you ever been tied up for non fetish reasons?

Way to take all the fun out of a potentially awesome thread.

If you can’t remember what happened while you were tied up, how do you know your example was “for non fetish reasons”?

4

Yes. I played enemy force during an Urban Warfare Ex. I was a coward and threw my rifle away as soon as it was empty.

I was zip-tied and taken prisoner.

Oh come on. If this was about sexual fetishes it would be way more common and way more ‘meh’.

To be tied up for non-sexual reasons is like fiction, and if it happens IRL it is bound to be an interesting story to tell.

Some people have a one-track mind. Not me. I abhor vulgarity and I find interesting other aspects of existence.

Well maybe it was. But I am dubious about the idea that a person represses traumatic experiences without there being some clue within themselves that it happened. I happen to think I’ve not repressed anything that’s happened in my life. I’m not innocent enough to have done so.

Yeah, but being tied up as part of sex play is fuuuuuun!

Actually, when I was maybe 5 or 6, my brother and sister tied me up for fun. I consented. Then I fell off the couch and hit the floor face-first. I think I got a bloody nose and maybe lost a tooth. That was a game we were no longer allowed to play.

I still remember the feeling of helplessness when I fell.

My husband was abducted, duct-taped, hog-tied, and thrown into the back of a trunk, where he was driven to his surprise 18th birthday party. He said he knew it was his friends because they couldn’t stop from laughing, but it seriously creeped him out how utterly helpless he was to prevent any of it from happening.

There was a big weeping willow in the garden of a hotel where we stayed when I was about 5. My older brother preferred playing with two other boys than me but one day they all agreed to let me play cowboys and indians. Almost immediately they declared I had been “captured” tied me to the tree and abandoned me. Of course no one could see I was there past the curtain of leaves. I was found at lunchtime when my Dad came looking and he was righteously angry with my brother. The funny thing is that I was so absorbed in playing the part of the captive that I hadn’t realised it was just a trick nor how long I’d been there.

Wow, your name isn’t Matt is it? This is just about exactly what happened to a college friend’s middle brother - when he came home from playing alone her oldest brother stuck to his story of not knowing where middle bro was for more than an hour before their parents eventually found him tied to a tree.

I haven’t been on the receiving end, but tying up other people was one of my childhood “signature moves”.

I had a couple of particularly noteworthy tie-ups. Tying up my sister (playing Maid Marian in our Robin Hood game), not rescuing her, and going to play Nintendo for hours until my mom rescued her is a pretty frequently recounted story, as is the time I convinced a local boy who was babysitting for us to let me tie him up and then leaving him tied up (and putting girl clothes on him) all night until my parents got home.

I was pretty good with knots, I guess. I also found it hilarious that people would actually let me tie them up without a fight. People are dumb.

12

Not me, but when I was about eight and my sister was two, she was annoying me so much I tied her to a chair. My mom found her about ten minutes later, and had to stick her head out the door because she couldn’t stop laughing.

Johnny Taylor said it:

You tied up you better stay tied up. It’s cheaper to keep her.

We didn’t tie her up, but my brother and I stapled our little sister (aged about 3) face-first to a wall once. (We were nice: we just put the staples through her t-shirt, not her skin!) I don’t remember getting in trouble for that stunt. The family was in the midst of remodeling a house, and my sister (four years younger than me, five younger than my brother,) was being a royal pest. I don’t remember whether my mother or my father found her, but they were probably laughing too hard to punish us very effectively…

Domingo Montoya once told me a story about when he was playing Heretics & Inquisitors with his brothers. One of the Heretics was tied to a tree upside down. The dinner bell rang shortly thereafter. After a quick headcount The Mamma sent them back out to find the Heretic. I guess he’d been like that for 15-20 minutes all told.

16

As an aside, I know how to tie someone to a tree without using rope (it’s like a leg lock).

17

The four grandkids on my mom’s side of the family used to play what I think we coined The Tie-Up Game–it was sort of a variation on Hide and Go Seek. The person who was “it” would sit down in a chair, and then the other three would use anything and everything they could think of to immobilize the person (blankets, hair ties, rope, shoelaces…). They’d then set a timer (for five minutes?) and retreat to a bedroom with the door closed. The person who’d been tied had until the timer went off to free themself **and **find someplace to hide.

That sounds like fun. We used to play a game called Hide and Go Seek in the Dark.
