If you have ever wondered about self-bondage, who does it, how they do it and why, this book provides graphic and detailed stories about women who practice it. In thirty-four chapters, Jurgen von Stuka, who brought you SUMMER SCHOOL, AFTER SCHOOL, DESPERATE, BONDAGE BROKERS and other twisted tales from the BDSM scene, explores the secret, private world of women who find erotic release in tying, gagging, strapping and chaining themselves. You will enter their private worlds of luxury or everyday living to learn from first hand narratives, how they bind, chain and lock themselves in strenuous, sexually gratifying positions and why they do it. This is not partner sex. These practitioners of auto-bondage share their experiences with no one. More than one woman tells how she at first fantasized about being spanked and whipped while hanging in chains, only to eventually design an arrangement that allowed her to carry out her desires by herself! The thrill of self-bondage, von Stuka reveals, comes from the complex combination of strict restraint, exotic apparel, (or lack of it), and the combined fear of discovery mixed with the back of the mind anxiety of not being able to get freeÉever. This elite group of women invited von Stuka to their annual gathering in a remote European location. You won't see it reviewed in the local newspaper or even in Scene publications. He interviewed and recorded their stories, then compiled the best into this unique book. The 34 chapters reveal what no one is going to tell you at some cocktail party. The techniques, materials, secret hiding places for paraphernalia and the safe rooms where these women lock themselves in for sometimes days at a time while they indulge in their erotic pastime, are all revealed here. Everything, every nuance, from what knots to use so you can eventually get free to elaborate safety practices, is discussed frankly and with complete anonymity.
