Bent over
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.
Bent over, wrists tied to the thighs
Bent over with the wrists tied to their own thighs. Self-contained: no furniture, no anchor, and their own legs stop them standing back up.
Medium Not past 12 min Works alone
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.
Medium Not past 12 min
Chest on the bed edge, arms drawn up behind
Chest resting on the edge of the bed with the arms drawn up behind. The bed carries the weight, so it holds a hard shape for far longer than the standing version.
Hard Not past 12 min
Deep fold at the pole, arms and elbows bound to it
Folded deep at a pole with the arms and elbows bound to it. A severe, elegant shape for impact — and one where the shoulders, not the clock, decide when it ends.
Hard Not past 7 min
Every time, whatever is being used Shears in reach before the first wrap, every time. Check fingers and toes for colour and warmth every few minutes. Anything cold, white, numb or tingling comes off immediately — and you cut it, you do not pick at the knot.
