The founding father of modern day western style bondage is John Willie, a gifted bondagist, photographer and sketch-artist, as well as the first one ever to publish a BDSM-magazine: “Bizarre”. Willie was active in the pre and post WW2 era and is probably best known for his “Sweet Gwendoline” BDSM-comic books.
Minimal Bondage
The essence of Willie style bondage is in using as little rope as possible to create maximum dramatic effect and impact. The above frontal hog tie is one of the best examples of this technique, using only two short (3 meter/yards) ropes to fully restrain her.
This bondage is not only an excellent novice bondage, it is also one of the very few bandages that is suitable for subs, suffering from back problems such as a hernia (be aware that every hernia is different and that you should still experiment very carefully).
Technical Description: Have your slave sit in the required position and proceed to tie her wrists and ankles with one rope. Wrap the rope twice around her wrists and ankles, leaving one long end. This long end is used to tighten the bondage. What you do is to slip the long end in between the individual limbs and wrap it around the first windings two or three times, so that the entire bondage tightens. Finally, simply tie the two ends together.
You could leave it at this if you like, since your slave is now completely helpless and unable to free herself or go anywhere. Roll her on one side and her private parts will be easily and readily accessible for inspection or other use, for example.
To complete this hog tie, simply repeat the above process just under her knees (hence above the elbows) in order to interconnect the lower arms and lower legs.
Yet another example of the fact, that you do not need a lot of rope, is the basic hog tie. For this bondage only one 3 meter/yard rope has been used to fully restrain the slave and render her helpless. Be aware that this (like any other) backfaced hog tie is very demanding, especially if the bondage is maintained for several hours. The bondage makes an excellent punishment tool, for example through having her spend the night in this hog tie.
Technical Description: Have her lay down on her tummy and tie her wrists behind her back in the following manner (for novices it might be easier to tie the wrists, while she is still standing upright). Have her wrists behind her back, palms facing each other. Double up your rope and wrap it around her wrists (above the joints!!!) twice. Next wrap the ends of the rope around the windings in between her wrists once or twice (depending on what tightness you are looking for). There will be no knot at this stage.
Next, fold her legs to a ninety degree (or slightly steeper) angle. Lead the two ends of the rope in between her ankles, wrap the ends around the ankles (again: above the joints!!!) once or twice, use the remaining rope to wrap it around these windings and tie rope to the connecting part between ankles and wrists. Notice this is a one-knot-bondage, hence very easy to untie, yet extremely effective!
In the event you are are looking for more mental impact, you may want to opt for a finger hog tie.
Technical Description: For this bondage you will want to use a thin (3 milimeter) 1 meter/yard rope. The process of tying the bondage is similar to the hog tie, described above. Only, instead op tying the wrists and ankles, you only tie the thumbs and toes. That makes any attempt to try and find relief MUCH more painful and it is extremely frustrating for the slave to know that she has been rendered completely helpless using only this short and thin rope. Besides, being able to move her remaining fingers makes things complicated for her.
