I have had this itch since as long as I can remember. I did my share of self bondage, tied people up, and always I was trying to imagine myself as the damsel in distress and envied those who were confident wearing female attire and braving the outside. So I was single for a while with no real good bondage prospects, made a few mistakes and visited a few mistresses, but really it was more awkward than satisfying. I only wanted to dress up when I was in bondage, after wearing women’s clothing for a while, the thrill leaves and it is like wearing any type of clothing, so I guessed I am not a transvestite, only a crossdresser for the purposes of bondage. I have tried to talk to a therapist about my bondage and crossdressing proclivities, but even breaching the topic was met with astonishment and started to feel “labeled” as a pervert; something I have been called for a great deal of my life with rejection of dates or bondage partners.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>True Story of my Reluctant Bondage Experience</title><link>/stories/2015/03/09/true-story-of-my-reluctant-bondage-experience/</link><pubDate>Mon, 09 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/03/09/true-story-of-my-reluctant-bondage-experience/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;I have been doing bondage, self-bondage and cross-dressing since I was a teen. I have always kept it hidden and felt uncomfortable talking about my fetishes for years. I only wear women’s clothing when I do bondage because I want to put myself in the role of damsel in distress and get the point of view from the woman’s experience. I was teaching a woman (call her Jane) about bondage and she was aware of my experience with self-bondage, but I never went into any great detail. We had a professional, non-communicative relationship as I was teaching her some rigging and she was talking about her boyfriend and other women.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>SB Experienced Checked off this Year</title><link>/stories/2013/01/04/sb-experienced-checked-off-this-year/</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/01/04/sb-experienced-checked-off-this-year/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Okay, let me first start this story by saying this is 100% true. This is also a dangerous precedent I have started but the reward was the best experience I have ever had in this lifestyle hands down. I am usually into self-bondage but it has gotten stale, I am able to successfully tie myself up for any amount of time without any trepidation, always with a way out, no more challenges can hold me, it is just a waiting game. Being a dominant male, I usually only resort to self-bondage between willing bondage participants, so it is like a booby prize for me, sadly. I have put my participants into some intricate rope and wanted the same done to me, but without a way to get out, a true challenge where I have to wait for the ice timer and not manage to chicken out because of boredom or shoddy cinch nooses.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Dressed Up, Tied Up &amp; Nowhere to Go</title><link>/stories/2012/08/07/dressed-up-tied-up-nowhere-to-go/</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/08/07/dressed-up-tied-up-nowhere-to-go/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;I have been a fan of bondage and self bondage since I was a teenager, even as far back as nocturnal emissions, I knew this would be my life path, but finding a partner in this lifestyle is awkward and complicated. The first time I touched a pair of pantyhose, I immediately had a discharge, so I think it was a biological indicator I had a fetish. I spent years trying to keep this side of my life safe, I had enough guts one time to actually wear the pantyhose and try to tie myself up. I came then the power went out. I realized I was stuck and could not escape. I had to hop out of the bathroom, as I tied my ankles and had a silk scarf over my mouth. I found my door wide open and all my neighbors out because of the power outage, I was in plain view of all my neighbors all trussed up.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
