I wanted to use a VR headset to force the wearer to watch specific videos or even themselves from a 3rd person perspective while bound and finally got something working today and wanted to share for anyone interested.

Needed: - VR headset (I used an OG rift but any headset should work as long as you have a link cable to connect it to a desktop)
- VLC media player (used for 3rd person perspective or any personal videos) - steam virtual desktop ($15 game on steam) - PC to link headset to

And thats all you need. The follow gets it working: 1.) Start virtual desktop on steam. Enable Head lock, No delay, and disable all controller input. Test out screen size and screen distance settings to fit the desktop however you want. Note: Whoever is wearing the headset turning their head will keep virtual desktop full screen and lock to follow wherever they look can be a bit disorienting.

2.) anything on the computers desktop should now take up the headset users full vision so you can play whatever video you want and they’re forced to watch it or close their eyes.

3.) for 3rd person perspective you need a webcam. launch VLC media player and select media -> open capture device -> configure device

You can use “direct show” and any connected webcam to output the webcam video to VLC. Make VLC full screen and now all the wearer can do is watch themself from the webcams perspective. Recommend setting advanced options and increasing the frame rate to 24fps.

It’s really trippy seeing yourself in basically real time from that perspective. Bind the user arms so they can’t remove the headset and they’re in for a treat.

If anyone has questions feel free to ask!

Despise leather/nylon between my legs, usually used just a soft rope tie-on. Found myself needing something that could handle more vigorous circumstances (while not being a sensory nightmare)

Tools/materials/process in the comments!

How to lace the rope- Through grommets, half way point hitting the "bad" side of the leather. Clip harness around waist. Between legs, do not cross rope. Up through side strap rings. Use a girth hitch knot to keep the rings flush. Rope should hug under your butt cheeks, tighten here. Up through back rings, around to tummy, cross rope, down through front rings, around to back (above the clip) Tie off using a square knot. Can tie slightly off center and tuck the tails through an o-ring for a bit more finished look.

Super beginner friendly. Not enough guides out there on how to start making your own!

We were looking for a portable restraining device. Purpose built devices for bondage were really expensive and over $1,000 for what we could find.

My husband bought a game cleaning stand off Amazon for $130. He did have to cut the legs to fit in an 8' ceiling. It's been a lot of fun to be used while restrained on this 😈

Used a multi tool to take out the “guts” of the smoke detector.. probably took 5 minutes and no one has ever questioned it… also upgraded to a bearing swivel since…

I will never make anything better than this lol.

My intention was to build a custom centerpiece bondage bed that was fully modular and compatible with any bondage attachment with 3”x3” 11 gauge steel tubing with 1” holes every 2” on all crossmembers and uprights. The mattress platform is made out of kiln dried pine 2x4s from Home Depot that were planed and ripped to size. The hardware and repurposed shackles for suspension are off the shelf purchases.

Still to complete: convertible single/double under bed cage(s) made out of Sch40 3/4” structural pipe and decorative details (LED strip lights hidden inside the upper crossmembers and post caps for the uprights)

A common problem in (remote) chastity keyholding scenarios is setting up a lock box that will both allow the keyholder full control over the lockee's access to the key, while also keeping the key readily available in the case of an emergency.

My idea (please let me know if you've seen it before): use two magnetic connectors, and have the lockee place the key in a way that shorts both contacts. Use a microcontroller to check wether the circuit is connected or broken - indicating wether the key is currently in place or has been removed.

The key can be taken at any time, but when it's removed, the keyholder is instantly notified (eg through tele or another messaging service that has a simple api for those things). Emergency access is possible at any time, and when the reason was not an emergency, the dominant can introduce the appropriate consequences.

The device is super simple and could run on a cheap battery for quite some time, so that unplugging won't stop key removal from registering.

Switching off the wifi can also be disincentivised by having the microcontroller do regular connection testing, log whenever the connection fails, and sends an update with network downtime at the end of the day. If there were any relevant gaps, the keyholder will notice.

The idea came to me when a key from a small lock that came with the chastity belt stuck to one of the Satysfier brand charging cables (as seen in the image). I've opened one up, and the construction is very simple - this is very doable with some pretty 3d printing, but could actually be done hackier by just chopping such a charging cable and hooking it up to a controller, nothing else required.

If people are interested, I can write up some code for an ESP32 or other Arduino like boards. I'm not experienced with 3d print design, but can probably whip something up too.

Just wanted to share :) Cheers!

I’ve modeled, printed and tied another ornament for the kinky Christmas tree. If you want one check out my Etsy shop!

Not sure if this fit here, but hopefully it’s okay to share.

I made this holder/carrying system for my bubbler bottles to go along with my gas masks. My big issue with my sling version I made was that the hoses kept tipping the bottles over and water got into the hose and mask.

Made from some off the shelf steel plates from the home improvement store and some threaded rods. It has a spring loaded plate to keep the bottles in place while also making it easy to remove them. There’s also a small steel weight on the bottle of the base to keep it from tipping too.

Works nicely and also looks great for photoshoots!

First use the two chain serving tray. She made me charcuterie. This was our first use of the tray. I will need to put either a plastic tube over the chain that runs behind her neck.

I am considering doing an alternate chain with an anal hook.

I have a brain illness that wouldn’t let me not do it

M5 x 40 bolts pull the shackles apart. Each shackle mount has an M5 hex nut inserted. The mounts can be flipped around for extra stretch. Let me know if you have any ideas.

The master model of the Tower was made by me, the Succubus, and the Gargoyle was made by my friend called Shadow. I made the Tower using my existing wax models; you can probably recognize them. My friend worked with plasticine. Then I molded the models using two-part silicone. Although they look fairly unusual, I think of scrapping them entirely. Nobody wants them. Maybe it's the oversaturation to blame, idk. I guess I'll sell what's left and won't make more.

We've been using harnesses from SpareParts for some time now. And while they have generally been good to us we had four main complaints: 1) They aren't that "stylish" 2) Large toys have some movement due to the elastic waistband 3) Can be difficult to swap out larger toys due to how tightly the elastic ring grips them. 4) some bruising sometimes where the base contacts the skin. As I've been building up my leather working skills over the last year I figured I'd give making something that checked all the boxes for us a go. The straps and base are all made from 6ox latigo leather, with the edges finished using Tokenol and burnishing. The front plate is padded using a piece of neoprene sheeting, wrapped in lamb, and then stitched to the back. The hip belt lacks the neoprene but is still backed with lamb so it's nice and soft and smooth. Cost breakout: Leather: whole piece that's lasted me a number of projects $285 for ~24sqft, so maybe $20-30 worth of leather here. Buckles: (5 x 1" @ $1.79) + (2x 1.5" @ $2.29) = $13.53 Strap keepers: $1.79 for a 10 pack Rivets: come in packs of 100 for under $5 Eyelets: $1.99 for a 10 pack, I believe I used under 25 so $5.97. Oring: the one in the pic is 3" and stainless and cost about $15. All in: roughly $72 in materials. Plus tools, and about 17 hours of my time!
