Anna Speaks of the Hogtie

I have posted an essay Anna wrote for me some time back on her thoughts of being hogtied.  Interesting read.

What can I say about the hogtie?  Besides “mmmm… my favorite”, that is.  This tie is by far the most comfortable for me, in part because lying down means less circulation problems as the blood does not need to travel up for great distances, and in part because I enjoy lying down during a photo shoot to sitting or standing.  Hogties, I find, also allows for the most natural posing, perhaps because the comfortableness of the position makes model relax more than chair ties or other ties that involve either standing or sitting.       

Like the chair tie, hog ties vary greatly depending on the surface the tie takes place on.  On my first shoot, my first hog tie was a western-themed cowgirl tie, which involved me being tied on a fairly hard mat with hemp rope.  My second hogtie that same day took place first on a leather sofa, which made for a very sticky and somewhat uncomfortable tie, especially since I am not too fond personally of leather sofa.  From there on, I was transferred by one of the helpers onto a wooden surface, which was surprisingly more comfortable than the squishy sofa.  At another shoot, I was tied with my calves and feet up a short pole while lying on a wooden plank cart, which was very comfortable, especially with a pillow under my chest to alleviate some of the stress from the stiff surface.  Then, very recently, I was hog tied on a fairly supportive bed mattress, which, of course, was very comfortable and easy to work with.  I think in general the surface for a hogtie does not have to be particularly soft for the tie to be as comfortable as possible, but that the surface must provide adequate support for the model, just as the chair or stool where the model is seated for a chair tie must support both the weight and the upper torso and back of the model for the tie to be comfortable. 

Another thing I love about the hog tie is that it leaves a lot of creativity for the model, the bondage artist, and the photographer.  Because the surface upon which the model lies upon for a hog tie is generally large, the bondage artist has a lot leeway with how to tie the model, whether it be to the surface that the model lies upon, such as a plank, or to simply tie the model separately from the surface and allow the surface to merely act as a gorgeous background for the photograph.  The model tends to have a lot more things to play with in a hog tie, as she can arch back and try to untie her feet (in vain, of course – this is Uncle M’s ties we are talking about here), or merely lazily pick at the knots at her wrists.  There is also a lot more room for struggling, which always seem to make the photographer happy.  After all, even though I, and many other models for Pinup Bondage, are happy to just be tied up and stay still, the struggle must happen for those who are not present at the photo shoots to believe the bondage is real.
