Thoughts on Duct Tape Bondage Wrestling for 2013

Even though it is February already, I still feel like we're still just kicking off the new year for 2013.

December was a big month for bondage wrestling, as VeVe Lane and Keri Spectrum went at it with the ropes for their Rematch and Hogtie Race.  The VeVe vs Keri Rematch was released in December, and it was very well received and definitely much anticipated.  The Hogtie Race was released in January, and this video proved to be quite popular in its own right!

Duct Tape Bondage Wrestling?

VeVe and Keri were so amp'ed up on bondage wrestling, that they entered into discussions to meet for a duct tape bondage wrestling match in January.  However, before the ladies could clash again, Keri discovered that she was pregnant, so rough rolling got set aside for a while for her.

Nonetheless, I am still set on producing a competitive duct tape bondage wrestling match.  And sooner rather than later!

VeVe is definitely up for the idea as well, and we are frequently discussing the possibilities.  Most importantly, we are specifically discussing possible opponents.  VeVe herself started getting into duct tape work with her various "Bondage Breakout Challenges" throughout 2012 (these appeared in VeVe's Petite Powerhouse clips4sale studio).  Speaking of which, and for the sake of visual aids, some of her break out attempts have been from the following positions:

Now, not all of these break out attempts were successful, but the duct tape did prove to be a popular choice.  Furthermore, it is quick, simple, and hard to break.  So tape seems like a great option to try for bondage wrestling.

But with whom?  Again, the question remains...

Should it be a mixed match?
Should it be a female vs female match?

We do have Indra coming back over to visit later this month, and she seems like a natural choice for bondage wrestling.  But duct tape bondage - especially with struggle and wrestling involved - seems pretty punishing.  Can Indra handle it?

Or perhaps Orlandoe is a good opponent?

She and VeVe have quite a bit of bad blood brewing on the bondage wrestling front, and I am sure she'd like to restore her honor following her horrendous defeat in the latest Escape & Attack Challenge.

But then again, Orlandoe and VeVe have fought quite a bit in the bondage arena lately...

Or, to the first question again, should it be a mixed match?

More conferencing necessary.

More thoughts on duct tape bondage wrestling....

Certainly, duct tape wrestling requires a slightly different skill set than does rope-tie wrestling.  For one, there is no need for tying loops and knots, but still a definite need for fast hands for winding the tape.  Surely, in order to tape up a struggling opponent, one must be able to exert good positional control but must also be able to maneuver the tape roll and tear the tape without letting it get too stuck to itself.

You don't need to have vast knot-tying knowledge, but you do need to have gentle hands; if the tape tears and the loose end falls back on to stick to the roll, you could lose a lot of time in trying to get it started again.

Or maybe you don't tear it at all?  Maybe you just keep winding it and winding it.  But surely you would need to tear and restart it again at some point?  Getting the legs bound with continual winding is do-able, but getting the arms bound might require approaching from some different angles.

Leg binding: easy.  Start at the feet, even if they are kicking, lock the legs together, perhaps using a figure-4 with your own legs, and wind the tape to bind the legs together.  Basically the same as with rope, though I think this step would be easier with duct tape.

But what happens from there?  Now it gets a little harder.

A hogtie with tape in this situation would be quite difficult, if not impossible.  So, I predict that the immobilization would be just in binding the limbs to the body, perhaps in quasi-mummy style.  A "ball tie" with the tape would be neat, but surely tough to achieve.

So, once the legs are bound, you would need to get to work on the upper body.  Do you start by binding the arms to the body up around the shoulder / upper arm?  Do you try to bind the wrist together first?  Do you work asymmetrically, binding only one arm to the body before the other?  .... don't forget that the other person is trying to do the same thing to you!

Clearly, this is something that we need to see in action.  We'll get it out there for 2013, absolutely.  But there is the question of the opponent...
