>>6512081I've told this story on a /bdsmg/ thread before:
When I was but a youthful sadist learning the ropes (literally) I too was living with my oblivious and judgemental family...
Having covertly purchased rope I tried out the ties alone in the desperate privacy of my room, but sadly had no submissive to try these ties out upon...
I tried tying the pillow but with no success, as pillows are all formless fluff. So how could I learn? I had only one body to test the knots on. My own...
Just as I twisted around to knot the last line behind my own back, completing a very fine first effort at the tortoise shell configuration, my mother screamed out; "DINER!!" ...
I spent the next 30 minutes of my life nervously eating an early diner infront of my hypercritical and hateful family, wearing a longsleeve sweater, sitting with perfect posture, and with a slow horrified realization that the harsh burning pinching bite of the rope meant I had tied the tie too tight.
In the end I had to cut my rope off.
