If you're new to the Hogtied category, we recommend starting with some of the softer bondage scenes. These videos will give you a taste of what the category has to offer without being too intense or hardcore. As you become more familiar with the category, you can start exploring more intense content. The Effect of the Prone Maximal Restraint Position with and without Weight Force on Cardiac Output and Other Hemodynamic Measures (2013)

One of the main benefits of the Hogtied category is that it provides a safe and consensual way to explore your kinks and fetishes. Watching other people engage in BDSM activities can be incredibly arousing, and this category allows you to do just that without having to engage in any real-life BDSM activities yourself. We’v also rounded up a few more cute and comfortable sets of sex cuffs great for beginners and experienced players. I’m a little freaked out by the idea of restraints. How can I make sure my partner and I both stay safe? Demonstrators gather outside City Hall in Greensboro, N.C., on May 3, 2021 to protest the death of Marcus Smith after police hogtied him in September 2018. Travis Dove for The Marshall Project Marcus’ mother, Mary Smith, said she does not believe police intended to kill her son. They were negligent, treated her son like a throwaway, she said, and should be convicted of manslaughter.The Single Limb Cuff in this video was done in a single 10 foot piece of 8mm. The Basic Chest Harness supports the chest and creates an ideal anchor point. That’s how my brother died,” said Kimberly Smith, his younger sister, who watched the video later. “He died like an animal.” With reference to the current COVID-19 pandemic, some have drawn attention to the medical management of these patients and how it relates to the physiology of prone restraint. Recent recommendations for the management of ventilated COVID-19 patients with moderate to severe ARDS have suggested the implementation of prone positioning. 30 Prone positioning has been shown to improve ventilation through a number of ways, namely by the reduction of the ventral-dorsal transpulmonary difference and through improved perfusion to the dependent portions of the lung. It has been suggested by some that these physiologic benefits add further evidence to the contradiction of positional asphyxia, arguing that prone positioning at the very least is not detrimental from a V/Q perspective.

It should only be used when you have a situation where a person is violently combative [and] you have a lawful reason to take them into custody,” said Manger. “What you're trying to do is make sure they don't hurt themselves, or hurt someone else.”

Materials/comfort – You can get hogtie restraints made of all kinds of materials, but the best kind of material is one that feels natural and comfortable while being used. Leather for example feels amazing while at the same time being durable and strong. Measured pulmonary parameters in sitting, prone, supine, and restraint positions before and after exercise. Subjects were exercised on a bicycle before parameters were measured during recovery in the restraint position. There were statistical changes in O2 sat but thought to be very small and likely not clinically relevant*. The feet are a very powerful weapon and the legs are a very powerful weapon, especially if you have someone that is in an excited state,” DeVane said. In 2008, Krauskopf examined IVC diameter via ultrasound in prone subjects with weight up to 25kg placed on the lower torso. 24 The study showed that weight force applied to the lower torso leads to significant decreases in diameter and maximum blood flow in the IVC and minimal decreases in cardiac index and output. Other cardiac parameters were not affected, and the authors suggested that increased weight, which would be more likely to be encountered during an active restraint, could lead to more clinically significant outcomes. Ho et al. performed a similar experiment in 2011 with weights of 45kg and 67kg applied to the upper torso of prone patients. 25 The study showed significant decreases in IVC diameter with addition of weight, but no changes in vital signs. The authors inferred that cardiac output may be decreased, presuming decreased venous return, but did not measure these values directly.

You can also incorporate the stoplight system (red, yellow and green) to let your partner know what’s good, what you may want to pause and talk about or slow down with and what’s a no-no. This is a great way for feeling out boundaries and comfort levels and keeping communication going. An internal investigation found no violation of policy and Scott returned all the officers to active duty. The hobble carries many risks, according to Keith Taylor, a 23-year veteran of the NYPD and now a professor at John Jay School of Criminal Justice. Officers know next to nothing about a person’s health, and there are serious outcomes when police immobilize an unhealthy person in a high-stress situation. Obesity, heart conditions, and drugs all can raise the chances of death. Then-Interim Chief of Police Vanessa Wilson, who is now chief, called the incident "egregious" and fired the officer.As more scrutiny has been placed on Aurora’s use of the hobble in recent years, the directives in the department’s manual have changed and become more detailed. An easy and effective hogtie achieved by combining a chest harness, one column, and two column ties. The Twisted Monk is dedicated to providing welcoming, friendly, and practical information and educational material. Our Getting Started videos cover a variety of basic ties to provide you with a myriad of possibilities. We are proud to provide not only great rope but also engaging, clear, and easy to follow instructions. From there, try kissing your partner on the lips, then slowly moving down, stopping to nibble and tease the nipples.

Of the examined papers, fourteen experiments measured oxygen saturation as an outcome. All fourteen demonstrated no clinically significant drops in oxygen saturation in the restraint position. Three studies analyzed effects with weight applied to a subject. The study demonstrated a decline in spirometry performance across several variations of prone positioning, although the values were not considered clinically relevant.

Vanessa Peoples poses for a portrait with her sons Tamaj (7), Mahjae (6) and Zamari (11 months) outside her home in Aurora, CO, May 13, 2021. Kevin Mohatt/NBC News NBC News and The Marshall Project reviewed use-of-force data from the Aurora Police Department obtained via a state open records request and found the agency used the hobble on roughly 350 people over the past five years.
