Resourceful Restraints

All ties and control moves focus on quick, functional, unquestionable compliance. Subjects covered include: the principles of escape proof bondage, mind and body submission, handling ‘bratty’ and squirmy bottoms, the concepts of ‘pre-action’ versus ‘reaction’ based dominance, the creation of a ‘safe container’, the mindset of dominance, and (of course) lots of firm, functional ties!
