This is a very simple and popular harness and a good first layer upon which to build additional bondage. It is very similar to the Shinju, but it puts the twist in the front at a different place and does not lock each strap. This makes it fast to put on and a fine choice for floor work (non-suspension bondage), but this is not a good choice for suspensions. Look to the Shinju or Suspension Shinju for something with a very similar look, but that *is* locked off so can be used for suspensions.
Pros: You can make this quite tight without significant a risk
Cons: Be sure to check our Safety page for important information about tight chest harnesses when combined with tight waist restraints
Version 2 provides better distribution of the knots in the back, in case you lay your partner down.
Version 1 can be cinched down on breasts more tightly for breast bondage.
For this tutorial, I used one 30′ (~9m) piece of Natural 6mm provided by my affiliate Twisted Monk. But my model is quite small and you may need more.
Check them out for some amazing hemp rope!
Prerequisites:
My model has a slightly larger than average frame, I used about 50ft of rope. Thanks for the tutorial!
Version 1 starts with wraps above the breasts and version 2 starts below. What is the best way to start?
I usually use version 2, building from the bottom up. It tends to generate less overall bulk as it doesn’t concentrate as many cords in one location.
Version 1 can be helpful if you *want* the cords concentrated. Perhaps you are planning to cinch the cords tight in the front as well for some breast bondage, for example.
I can understand how version 2 makes it less concentrated on the back, But why does version 1 start the wraps above the breast then?
Could version 1 just as well have started wrapping below the breasts with no implication?
What do you meen by your last comment about version 1 and tightness for breast bondage? 🙂
Hi very nice
Lazarus I just bought a posable mannequin for practice. This is the first tie I did on it. Thanks for all your work
Where do you get the mannequin to practice on?
I have an article on that! My “Model”
Thank you. I have since gotten a dress form mannequin with posable arms and it does a decent job for practicing ties that require more patience and looking at my laptop than any human I know would put up with
I was going to leave a comment asking about concerns around suspensions, then I remembered a conversation on the Discord server. I’m just going over to the suspension course.
A good note. This version is fast and smooth … but that means that it is not locked off at each band. Therefore, this version is not suitable for suspensions. Look to the Shinju for something very similar that *is* locked off.
I’m curious…any way to have the lower rope under the breast to be straight and not bent upwards by the tension of the rope between the breasts,
Sort of yes, sort of no. That shape is dictated by the tension of the two. If the lower chest strap is quite tight and the shoulder strap is not vary tight, it will not cause that change in shape. …However, the harness will also not feel the same to your partner. You can do it either way, but talk with your partner about how they feel in the tie one way vs the other…
