Safety is a huge aspect of self bondage, do not engage in the activity if you have no backup plan and no partner. People die this way. It’s not fun.

Self bondage deaths

Make sure you have a

• Release method
• Backup plan

A key in a pot of motor oil, or something else sticky that you dont want to have to clean up.

• COMMON SENSE!

Release methods

• The ice release.

  Ice will melt at room temperature, so unless you live on the south pole this is a very safe release method. Freeze the key in a block of ice and wait until you can get to it. The bigger the block of ice, the longer the wait… experiment with sizes before biting off more than you can chew.

• The lots-of-hard-work release

  This one will take as long as it takes you to get to your key or scissors.
  You tie/cuff youself in such a way that it is very difficult to move around the house (for example, tie your hands and feet together). They scissors/key is planted in a far-away location, for example the bathroom or some closet.
  It can not work if you tie yourself to a fixed point because you need to be able to move around (however uncomfortably). The plus side on this method is that it’s really easy to set up and execute, but then again you won’t be fully immobile. Ideal for a quick fix of selfbondage!
