Elbow Harness

All you need to know about elbow harness

For kinky people into bondage

Bondage aficionados often love to learn new ties, and the elbow harness is a great addition to anyone's bondage arsenal. It's a reasonably simple and straightforward tie, and there are plenty of guides available online that will walk you through it step by step. The elbow harness can be combined with other ties for full-body immobilisation, making it a fantastic choice for those who like their bondage to be as comprehensive as possible. Just make sure you practice loosely a few times before relying on it, and keep your rope shears handy in case you need to make a quick release.

What is an elbow harness?

This is a type of tie used in rigging. Rope is passed around a person who is touching their wrists together behind their back. It creates a harness that runs around the person’s elbows holding their top half immobile.

How do you tie an elbow harness safely?

Whenever you play with rope be sure to have some safety shears close by. If the tied person (bunny) is in any discomfort at all, or passes out, the rope should be cut away immediately. You need to be sure not to run rope over any pressure points/nerves and keep checking the rope bunny’s circulation all through the tie.

How easy is an elbow harness to tie?

It is a fairly simple and intuitive tie and there are several tutorial videos online to practise from. The best way to learn a new tie though is to attend a rope workshop where someone can show you step by step how to do it.

What rope is best for an elbow harness?

This is a personal preference, but you will want to use something that isn’t too thick or too thin. Rope between 6mm-12mm is regularly quoted as being the best for rigging. Natural fibres such as jute, hemp and cotton are favourites but if your sub loves pain, try a bit of itchy coconut.

In the sleek, modern office, the air is charged with a subtle tension that only adds to the electric atmosphere. The sun has set, leaving the room bathed in the soft glow of desk lamps and the city lights from the windows, creating a professional yet intimate setting.

As the boss, she sits confidently behind her expansive, tidy desk, reviewing documents with a sharp eye. The click of her pen is rhythmic, punctuating the silence in the office, a sound that has become both a warning and an allure to you as her secretary.

Dressed impeccably in your professional attire, your skirt perhaps a bit too snug and your blouse straining slightly at the buttons, you stand by the photocopier just across her line of sight. You're fully aware of her glances lifting from her work to linger on you every so often, a smirk playing at the corners of her lips.

You bend over the copier, unnecessarily adjusting the papers in the feed tray, presenting a view you know she can't resist. The deliberate arch of your back accentuates your form, inviting her gaze to explore. The machine hums and whirs, but it’s the charged silence between you that fills the space with unspoken words.

Finally, she sets her pen down with a definitive clink and leans back in her chair, her eyes fixed on you. “I think you’ve done enough copying for now, don’t you?” she calls out, her voice smooth yet commanding. “Why don’t you come here and help me with something a bit more... hands-on?”

You straighten up, smoothing down your skirt as you approach her desk with a measured stride, your heels clicking authoritatively against the hardwood floor. Standing before her, you ask in a voice laced with feigned innocence, “What do you need me to do, ma’am?”

She stands, closing the distance between you with a few purposeful steps. “Let’s start by reorganizing these files,” she says, her hand brushing against yours as she hands over a stack of documents. But her intentions are clear as her other hand finds its way to your waist, pulling you slightly closer.

“Actually, why don’t we make this a bit more interesting?” she whispers, her breath warm against your ear. She guides your hands behind your back, holding them with one of her own. “Try to sort these without your hands. Use your... initiative.”

You lean forward, attempting to move the files from one side of the desk to the other using your elbows, your body bending at her command. She watches amusedly, her free hand occasionally correcting your stance or 'accidentally' brushing against you in a manner that sends shivers down your spine.

Every accidental touch and whispered command increases the tension, the playfulness of the task at hand veiling the palpable desire. The game continues, each movement and correction a dance of dominance and submission, until she finally releases your hands, her fingers lingering just a moment longer than necessary.

“You’re very good at following instructions,” she remarks with a satisfied smile, her hand resting possessively on the small of your back. “I think it’s time for your next task.”

In this scene, the blend of professionalism, command, and undeniable attraction creates a charged environment where every command from the boss is a thrill to obey, pushing boundaries within the thrilling confines of the office walls.

Similar to Elbow Harness

Bondage is one of the most famous and best known aspects of S&M and BDSM play, and not without reason. Being tied up is a glorious sensation for the right person, and the control inherent in being the person doing the tying can give a dominant partner a heady rush. Ball gags are also commonly used. Sometimes bondage is there primarily to enhance a roleplay scenario; sometimes it's almost an art form, especially when it comes to rope bondage. Other times it's just to make clear the dynamic and have some fun with each other. Whatever your reasons for indulging, make sure you're doing so safely. Learn some knots that don't tighten under pressure and always keep a pair of shears to hand in case you need to release your partner in a hurry.
Bondage comes in many forms, and shackling is one of the most iconic. Metal shackles are attached to the walls of many dungeons, playrooms and party spaces--and they can take a bit of a pounding, making them a great choice for keeping stronger and more feisty submissives under control! They can be used on the wrists or the ankles, and in some cases are suitable for extended periods of confinement--assuming, of course, you're communicating with the person you've got locked up all the time, and you know how they're doing. If you get a chance to try shackling, it can be well worth it for the aesthetic potential alone.
For bondage in a hurry, you can't go wrong with a bit of bondage tape. It comes in rolls a little like duct tape, and it's made of a flexible plastic that adheres only to itself. This means it's perfect for quick and dirty binding, tying and gagging! Bondage tape comes in all manner of colours and thicknesses, and is a fantastic addition to any BDSM travel kit. Just make sure you pack some scissors along with it - safety is paramount, and it's vital that you're able to get the tape off in a hurry if needs be. Bondage tape is available from almost all kink stores and sex shops, and it's also an affordable way to try bondage out for yourself for the first time.
