Positions — what each one is good for

118 positions, each with a diagram and the facts the planner uses when it deals that card. They are grouped by what the shape does to a body rather than by what it is called, because that is the question people are actually asking: this one presents the ass, that one takes the hands away, this other one cannot be held for more than five minutes.

If you have never tied anybody, start with these

Intensity one or two, nothing to buy beyond shears, and one from each shape so the first handful is not six versions of the same wrist tie.

Arms held in a cross Arms held straight out in a cross. Nothing looks easier and nothing gets heavier faster — a good demonstration that you do not need equipment to make somebody suffer. EasyNothing to buyWorks alone
Bondage-tape arm wrap Bondage tape wrapped along the arms. It sticks only to itself, so it never pulls hair or skin, and it is the cheapest way to find out whether being wrapped does anything for you. EasyNot past 15 minWorks alone
Seated and secure Wrists to the arms and ankles to the legs of an ordinary chair. Sitting is comfortable for a long time, so this is the position for interrogation, teasing and anything slow. EasyNot past 25 min
Folded and held Folded at the waist with the wrists bound. The plainest presented position — the ass is up, the head is down, and the strain in the back is what ends it. MediumNot past 12 min
Hobbled with a belt It takes the stride rather than the limbs, so somebody can still walk, kneel, fetch and serve — a whole evening of ordinary tasks made visibly difficult, with one belt. EasyNot past 20 minNothing to buy
Face down, spread to the corners Face down, spread to the corners. The back, the ass and the soles are open, and being unable to see what is coming does half the work. MediumNot past 20 min

By shape

Held, nothing tied 24 A posture someone is told to take and hold. Nothing is fastened, so it ends the second they decide to end it — which is exactly why it is the honest place to start. The whole difficulty is obedience and the clock, and both of those are free.
The tie travels with them 19 Wrists, arms or torso are bound, but nothing is anchored to furniture, so the body can still stand, kneel or lie down. The most forgiving kind of bondage: it takes the hands away without deciding anything else, and it is the first tie most people should learn.
Seated and held 6 A chair does most of the work. Sitting is a position a body can stay in for a long time without strain, which makes it the shape for anything slow — teasing, questions, waiting, a long build. Sit in the chair and rock it hard yourself before anyone else is fastened into it.
Bent over 4 Folded at the waist over an edge, a pole or their own thighs. This is the shape for impact and for access from behind: the target is presented and the person cannot see the swing coming. Hard on the lower back, so it is a shape for minutes rather than for an evening.
On their feet 24 Standing, spread, at a pole or in a doorway. Upright leaves somebody open on every side and keeps their own legs doing work, so time in it costs them something. It is also the shape that ends worst if they faint — never leave a standing tie alone, and take it down at the first sign of grey.
Kneeling 8 Knees down, hips somewhere between the heels and upright. Kneeling reads as submission before anything else happens, which is why it does so much work for so little effort — and it is the resting shape for oral, for waiting and for being spoken to. Knees want padding after a few minutes.
On all fours 4 Hands or forearms and knees on the floor. Opens the ass and the cunt at once, keeps the head low, and is the natural shape for pet play and for being led. Wrists and shoulders tire faster than people expect — forearms down is the version that lasts.
Lying down 19 On the back, face down, on the side, or folded up. Nothing has to be held up, so lying ties last the longest and strain the least — with one exception: face-down folded ties like the hogtie and the shrimp load the chest and the shoulders, and are the shortest ties in this app for exactly that reason.
Held by gear 10 Clamps, a bar, a plug or a chain doing the holding instead of rope. The point is that the person keeps their freedom and gives it up again every second: move, and the thing they are wearing answers the movement. This is where predicament play lives.
