cuffs and chains - 3/29/2012 9:15:00 AM

Hi

Does anyone have to wear wrist and ankle cuffs when at home? Are the wrist cuffs connected together with chains, like wise for ankle cuffs? How practical is this. My Master wants me to explore this idea.

Thanks

We don't do it, but depending on the length of the chains it could be either impractical or just dandy. Is the idea to use shorter chains to limit your movement, thereby limiting what you can get done in the house? Or is the idea to give you longer chains so that you can still get things out of cupboards, reach the remote, wipe your butt, etc?

To use shorter chains to remind me of my place- we are long distance. But not so short that I can't wipe my ass.

I've tried it, and it's really not very practical for more than a few hours at a time. Even if you have the chains long enough so that you can accomplish tasks like cleaning yourself after using the toilet, the chains get caught on things and tangle and just generally get in the way. It's very difficult to cook while wearing wrist chains, the chains tend to drag stuff off the stove and counter as well as get into hot pans on the stove and close enough to the heat sources to cause burns. As far as ankle chains go, again they tend to get caught on things and tangle. If you have stairs or any raised areas in your home you're putting yourself at a high risk of tripping as you try to step up or (even more so) down. Just cuffs work fine as 'a reminder of your place' in my experience. The bulkiness of most cuffs and the rings dangling from them make them pretty much impossible to ignore or forget, but they don't get in way nearly so much.

If you need reminding, you might want to rethink. I'd suggest chains aren't going to do it, not to mention how impractical it is. Besides, if Iwere to do such a thing, I'd like to be there to watch -- where's the fun in not seeing it?

perhaps some rituals? quiet time? affirmations? maybe some writing? these seem much more useful to me.. but that's me...

Just during a Scene or while masturbating. Otherwise - impractical.

I dont see what the point of doing that is - sounds like fantasyland shit. Or watching to much porn.

Becareful what metal you use, prolonged exposure to certain metals can lead to adverse reactions, get something lined with leather, or at the least plated with a non-toxic layer that will protect you and your skin.

Agreed. No harm in trying especially if both people like the idea.

This is a BDSM site and yes some of us do actually talk BDSM and even practice it :)

Once in a rare while I'll cuff Carol at home. The cuffs we use were made by her. They're soft leather with two D rings. The chain can either clip between the two cuffs or go up through her collar ring. Short chains are impractical for anything like housework, typing, etc. Longer ones are simply annoying.

edited to add
Since you'll be alone, I'd make sure whatever you used had some sort of quick release. The chains have gotten caught on doorknobs and random other things. A serious cuff/chain would not have broken loose and could've been a problem. I also wouldn't allow Carol to wear a chain which dragged under her feet (tripping potential) without me being there.

Like a lot of Doms, in my House my submissives aren't allowed to wear clothes, only wrist & ankle cuffs & collar. In the past, I've usually left the cuffs unconnected except when I was playing with her and when I put her to bed. Now, in bed, my submissives have always had their wrist cuffs connected together. Usually that's in front, then leashed to the headboard with a 6" to 16" chain. Sometimes her hands are cuffed behind her, and then her collar's leashed to the headboard; sometimes her ankles are cuffed together and leashed to the footboard. Note, though, some submissives have trouble sleeping that way. Friends of mine keep their girls naked but without cuffs, but in bed lock one ankle to a chain attached to the bed. Length of the chain varies.
With my last 24/7 slave, princess, I changed the rule to have her wrists cuffed together in front, usually with a 12" chain, all the time unless we were going out or she needed her hands, for example to take a shower. It worked out great; she got used to serving me that way really quickly and enjoyed it for the five months we were together.
I also have two sets of Kajira chains; for those who don't already know, that setup has locking wrist and ankle cuffs, waist chain, and collar; there's a vertical chain that locks to a ring on the collar, and drops in front or behind, through a ring on the waist chain, to end in a ring just below her knees. Her ankles are connected with an anklechain that's a couple of inches less than her normal stride, usually about 2', and it runs from one ankle up and through the ring at the lower end of the vertical chain, then to the other ankle; that keeps the anklechain mostly off the floor, preventing tripping and toes getting caught in the chain. The wristchain runs through the ring on the waist chain. My sets are made with a chain for the collar and cuff, lined with leather for comfort. That way, she can't get them off without the key or power tools. Cutting through the leather doesn't work.
If I want minimal restriction, I have the vertical chain and her cuffs in front, with relatively long connecting chains - (less than 2', usually). She can do most things, and walk easily with practice, but not run. If she wants to reach forward, she has to reach out with one hand while holding the other hand against the ring in the waist chain that the wristchain goes through; she can't reach out more than a foot with both hands.
If I want them more restrictive, I run the vertical chain down her back, so her cuffs are behind her back, and/or shorten the anklechain to a foot or less. What I usually use is a 2' wristchain; to make it more restrictive I just double it up, making it a one' foot chain (the wristchain locks to her left wrist, goes through the ring on the waist chain, then the midpoint of the wristchain locks to her right cuff; the rest of the wristchain then goes back through the ring to lock on her left wrist. I can also triple it up, or just use a 6" chain. I can do the same thing with her ankles; I can also run her wristchain through the ring on the neck chain(collar), or lock her directly wrists to the waist chain ring.

I can make her completely helpless in a variety of ways, for example:
Shorten the vertical chain by half, so she can't stand up;
Lock her wrists directly to her ankles;
Lock her wrists directly to the waist chain, and lock her ankles directly together;
Lock her wrists directly to the neck chain;
The possibilities are endless

I've met a lot of D-types, and I have never met one who did that. Interesting.

Yup, me too.

I'd be extremely uncomfortable exposing my tender bits to the things that make a household run. Seriously, when I spray the countertops down with bleach, I wear gloves to protect my hands. Why would I do that with my hoo-ha exposed?

I've tried wearing cuffs when I was owned. They were leather cuffs with D rings, comfortable to be worn for long periods - but they still proved impractcle for housework. Getting them wet was damaging to them - and those things aren't cheap - plus the wet leather chaffed the skin. chains were an unimaginable bruden to trying to do the simpliest jobs, short chains and long chains are just differant burdens. As has been said, watch for tripping with leg chains, esp. if you have stairs. I liked being chained while in bed, can you wear a chain to sleep? will that serve the same purpose? I wore a chain through the ring on my collar so I could scratch my nose but not reach much further than that. Keep a key by the bed in case of fire.
