Week 18: Neck Restriction Ties
Many variations of arm positions add the challenge of restricting the neck as well. This increases the sensations and the risks of the tie significantly. That said, with controlled ties creating indirect restriction, it is possible to explore some of those sensations progressively in a safer way.
We recommend reviewing the chapters on the anatomy of breathing and the neck before jumping into these ties to be more knowledgeable about the risks. Negotiate the boundaries thoroughly and plan some non-verbal communication strategies. Keep your cutting tool close and be ready to untie quickly. It is recommended to avoid a tight rope fixed around the neck. Never explore with those ties alone; this is how people die from bondage.
The goal of this week is to explore with indirect restriction of the neck with the upper body and discover what sensation can be experienced with those ties.
