Chain manacles anyone?

oh yea... I've been looking all over the net, but I can't seem to find any realistically looking medieval shackles, sadly :(
I just love the rough, rusty iron look, from the medieval times. The modified police-cuffs look kinda turns me off. But I do think the leather cuffs are OK. Specially if they are mixed with metal.
 
One reason there aren't many images of such things, is that rusty, rough iron manacles aren't exactly safe to use- they could easily damage delicate wrists or ankles, and how will you get them off, should the intended method of removal fail?

Bondage is great, but damaged tendons, and needing a tetnus shot from a cut caused by rusty metal, isn't.
 
Hehe glad someone else shares my specific craving. Seems strange for me as the more basic and non evident the restraint is, the more of a turn on it is for me. The medievil chain manacles tho just adopt a whole scenario which is sexy to me plus there relativley basic.
 
Oxidised metal sometimes looks rusty and is safe.

The idea of chain mail cuffs instead of leather ones is a really good idea.
I thought I really liked rope and leather until he introduced me to chain. Now given the choice I would choose chain.

If the manacles were of a reasonable width 4-5 inches wide and not too tight it would spport the wrist far more than handcuffs.

Now off to dream.....
 
I dont really see how restraints can be "unsafe" I mean at the worst you'll have friction burns or mild cuts which will heal but as long as there secured correctly and not TOO tightly on then there shouldnt be a problem.
 
well... The reason I like the medieval look so much is more like because it gives that feel of truely being a captive, which is a fantasy of mine. I just love the feel u get when you look at some of those submissive photos of a girl chained up in a real dungeon-prison place and stuff...

Oh, and Shy Slave, have you ever seen places where cuffs made of oxidized metal exist? If so, please do share :p If not... I guess Ill just get the metal and try make some myself, if I ever get the resources needed :p....

Sadly not seen them.

I wear a necklace he bought me made of chain mail, some of the links are oxidised.
It is a reasonable heavy chain. I rarely take it off and always sleep with my finger and thumb wrapped around it
 
Personally I prefer the sound of chains and steel as opposed to leather and rope. But there is the comfort factor to consider.

Try this site for heavy metal

The presense of leather bondage straps/restraints are a reminder its all fantasy which doesnt do it for me.

Theres just something about medievil restraints that make things a whole lot nicer and adds realism.

I have an example picture of what i'm talking about. Its a shame about the tatooo she has and the ballgag but the way she is chained and the chains used as well as the scenaro setting, makes for a niiiiiice turn on. http://img247.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0mq0.jpg
So, are you just talking about thinking about it/photos, because I don't understand how the presence of leather/rope could be "a reminder it's all fantasy" when they're being used in real life to actually restrain someone. How is that fantasy? How can one add realism to something that IS real?

It's more about the mental feeling of the scene. For some of us, real dungeon scenarios is just very appealing :)

I SO want my own dungeon when i have the money and resources :p

Oh and for me, I don't think dressing up in medieval clothes would work very well, cos that would give me a more role play kind of feeling. If I want role play I'll just go play oblivion, and get myself in jail :p

The idea of medievil dungeon manacle chains puts a whole different kind of thought to the scenario in my eyes. Although its possible to probably get hold of them, the normal bondage type restraints are more avaliable which dont do it for me. I think tho to really do it properly both people would have to dress up in old medievil type clothes it would of course be fantasy bondage roleplay.

Milk have you given thoughts instead of chain using wood?? My most regular playmate had done alot of research into medival time period. He has more then several items of wood that are similar to what was used back then.

LOL, you obviously have never experienced such a moment or are thinking of restraints as aesthetic adornments only. I have been in a situation where there was much more damage than a friction burn or cut and which still flares up months later...of course, if I had been able to remain calm and not struggle I would not have received such injuries, but then again, restraints were originally designed to stop the wearer from leaving more so than looking good and creating the right mood. Personally I love chain too, but he uses a variety of types of restraints when he chooses to use them.

LOL, maybe in your world its all fantasy but believe me, if he restrains me (or even doesn't), there is nothing fantasy like about it at all....I still come out of it with some type of mark or mental state, sometimes permanent, sometimes long lasting, all times far from cute and imaginary. You don't have to role play medieval dungeons to make it real, you just have to have someone who is sadistic enough and has the balls to take you there no matter what happens. :D Unfortunately, most of the pics of girls chained to dungeon walls are pure fantasy created for the photoshoot and the profit that can be made from those photos by the sites who use them and have perfectly clean dungeons so no-one is offended by the slime on the walls, the blood, the bits of excrement or urine around, and the thought of filth, real loss of liberty...perish the thought they would make a real dungeon look like a real dungeon in times past would...most modern people couldn't tolerate the thought let alone the reality.

Well Catalina because you live across the pond at least from me you can get an up close and personal view of this. Its too bad that we in the New World don't have such a long standing history. On your comment though I would hope that anyone that likes these scene would have thought up the reality that you have presented in your last two posts. Chain looks good and is really strong and cold to boot for a bit, but it can really do some lasting damnage if your not careful. I know that is one reason that they say you shouldn't use handcuffs for your main restraint, too much pressure in just one are of the wrist.

The pic posted has really put me off this thread.

I really thought it was a person interested in the reality of chain cuffs.
When I saw the pic I remembered similar pics the OP had posted and that it was only ever in there head.

Coffee and a reality dose anyone?

LOL, I missed the pics until you mentioned them, but they just went to prove the point I mentioned that the pics you see are totally set up to pristine perfection to sell memberships etc....nice and clean, perfect gothic architecture...sheeesh, more like staying at the Ritz with a little carefully posed kink thrown in for luck!! :D

I am not a fan of dirt but I do like honesty in a pic.

I love b/w pics still pics. The biggest turn off is the stuff that looks staged.

It doesn't make a case for BDSM any more helpful. It makes vanilla people think we are hiding something.

Andante has a cellar, I have never been in there but from the outside it looks hideously filthy and YUCK, he could rent it out for realistic BDSM photo shoots lol

Your point about illegal activities is a good one.
Using the word 'Master' would raise questions in the UK if it was heard by others.

Recently a white man was in McDonald's with his two daughters. He was asked to step outside by the police and was questioned about why he was with two Asian girls. He had to prove he was their father and their mother was Asian!!

People are always looking to see what others are doing. I would not call Andante 'Master' or 'Sir' or 'Daddy' in public. Why invite problems??

And here I was feeling a bit rude, for thinking the whole thing was style over substance, and attempting to point out the dangers of style over substance... (I'll take tea, please)
