As far back as I can remember I've enjoyed seeing women tied up and loved to play bondage games with the girls in the neighborhood.
Back in 1967 my cousin Penny had just broken up with her boyfriend. The movie "Wait Until Dark" came out that year and Penny had been looking forward to seeing it. It was summer so the natural choice was to go see it at the drive-in theater.
Since Penny didn't have anyone to accompany her to the drive-in she asked me if I would go with her so her parents would let her go see the movie. I was only 15 and couldn't yet legally drive, but Penny had both a driver's license and car. I didn't really want to go, but decided that I would do so as Penny and her brothers were my closest cousins and I knew they wouldn't hesitate to do favors for me.
We loaded up the car with snacks and blankets and headed out to the drive-in to watch the movie. Penny really loved the movie and I thought it was OK, but I was disappointed that the thugs menacing the girl in the story didn't take the time to tie up their victim. Of course since the character was blind I knew that my favorite item, the blindfold, was not going to come into play no matter what.
I had never played tie-up games with Penny, but had often thought about how much fun it would have been. Since the movie got out so late, after the show Penny took me back her parents house to spend the night.
On the way to the house we talked about the movie. I casually turned the conversation toward what I saw as the improbable nature of the way the thugs handled the situation.
Blind or not, leaving their victim free to roam around the house had to be pretty stupid was the opinion I expressed. Penny disagreed, saying that you couldn't really tie someone up that securely anyway. I kind of let the subject drop as we were pulling into the driveway at her house.
They had a really tiny house and as usual when I stayed overnight I got to sleep on the couch in the living room. Laying there that night I couldn't help envisioning how Penny would look all tied-up. Unable to sleep, I started hatching a plan.
The next day, I was supposed to start house sitting for my Grandparents who were leaving on vacation at the crack of dawn. Instead of taking me home Penny was going to take me to my Grandparents house. My mind started whirling on a plan.
I decided that if I could re-engage Penny in the conversation of the previous night then I'd try to talk her into letting me tie her up. If I couldn't get any rise out of her then I'd drop the idea.
After we left her house, I started talking to Penny about the movie. About halfway home I reopened the "should have tied her up" discussion about the movie. Penny bit on it and reiterated her positions.
With my stomach flip-flopping, my palms sweating and I'm sure my voice cracking, I blurted out, "I'll bet even I can tie you up with stuff from around the house so that you can't get loose quickly."
Penny said something to the effect of "OK, if that's what it takes to shut you up you can try it on me." Penny didn't know about my Grandparents vacation plans so I guess that she might have figured that with her small house and my small house there was never going to be a time when she'd have to put up on her end.
After getting the lump in my throat back down and recovering from the shock of having Penny agree to let me tie her up I managed to tell her "Great, we can try out your escape artist abilities when you drop me off." I think it was kind of a surprise to hear that she was about to have to make good on her statement as she sat there kind of quiet for a few moments apparently intent on her driving.
Eventually, she said "Guess you got me there." She then started with the ground rules, reminding me that I said I'd only use items from around the house like the crooks would have been able to find in the movie. I guess Penny didn't consider two things.
First, "household items" really leaves a lot of latitude considering we were living in the days of drying clothes by hanging them on clotheslines in our family. Secondly, I had been up all night thinking about what I would do if Penny actually agreed to let me tie her up.
We got to my Grandparents house and went inside. As soon as we were in the house I closed, locked, deadbolted and chained the front door. I figured all I would need is to have my folks let themselves in and find me tying up Penny. Penny watched as I secured the door and I explained my precautions. She nodded her head and said she thought it was a good idea too.
The previous night I had also decided that I would take Penny to the basement to tie her up. I thought the atmosphere of the basement would add a lot to the feelings of helplessness she might get while bound. As soon I had the front door secured I immediately went to my Grandmother's dresser and got out a bunch of her large square scarves. I folded one into a small rectangle and another on the diagonal into a wide strip. I put the other scarves into my back pocket.
Penny was still standing in the living room and saw me with the two scarves in my hands. I told her to turn around. Seeing the folded scarves, I guess she thought I was going to tie her hands as she instinctively put her hands behind her back and crossed her wrists.
I told her "Not yet, we have to make you like the blind lady in the movie", and proceeded to blindfold her. I put the scarf folded into a small rectangle over her eyes and fastened it in place with the diagonal folded scarf. Penny didn't have a lot to say, but just stood there kind of still while I arranged the scarves to make sure she couldn't see anything.
Satisfied that the scarves were properly placed I proceeded to spin Penny around a number of times to make her dizzy, much as you would when playing blindman's bluff. I steadied her and started walking her to the stairs at the back of the house leading down to the basement. It was great fun having Penny completely dependent upon my help to even move.
I took her to the part of the basement furthest from the stairs (the front of the house), but not before giving her a few more spins at the bottom of the stairs just for good measure. In the front part of the basement there was an old metal chair. I carefully guided Penny into the chair. Playing the part of a crook, I told her to sit there quietly.
Keeping my eyes her, I went back to the part of the basement where they clotheslines were suspended from the ceiling by eye hooks. I took down several 10 foot lengths of the line from the hooks and went back to my captive.
I used one length to tie Penny's wrists behind her back with her arms straight, palms facing one another. With the 10 foot length, I was able to wrap and cinch her wrists rather securely. After I had her wrists tied I kind of stepped back to see the results of my work.
While I was watching, Penny started asking "Is this all? Can I start getting loose now?" I told her that I wasn't quite finished yet. Liking what I saw so far, I decided to tie a rope around Penny's elbows then run it back down to her wrists and finish it off by bringing the ends around her waist and tying it off in front.
As I tied this rope, Penny kind of grunted as I pulled her elbows close together and then tied the rope in front where there was no chance she could reach it. I figured that even if she managed to get her wrists untied she would have a tough time reaching up to untie her elbows. As I finished with this rope, Penny was beginning to squirm around noticeably.
Again she asked if she could start trying to get loose. I told her it was almost time but not quite. I used the next ropes to tie her legs at the knees and ankles. Feeling like she was getting too tied up to get free Penny again asked her favorite question. This time I had a little different answer.
Taking on the character of the crook again I answered that "I'm getting tired of hearing all your mouthy talk." With that I took one of the scarves from my back pocket and began to try to stuff it into Penny's mouth. Feeling what I was trying to do she started to plead her case asking "Why do you need to gag me?" Dropping the character I told her it was because that is what the crooks should have done to the lady in the movie.
I guess she bought it, because with only minor struggles from Penny I got the scarf stuffed into her mouth. Finally, I pulled the last scarf from my pocket and again folded it into a diagonal strip. I pulled this scarf between her lips and teeth as best I could since the scarf stuffed into Penny's mouth was so big that it didn't completely go behind her teeth.
Knotting the gag scarf off behind her head I could hear Penny trying to see just how much the gag would keep her quiet. For the last time, I stepped back to admire my work. By the way, the answer to the how quiet question is real quiet. There were words coming out of her mouth, it's just they all sounded alike.
I could tell that Penny was now asking if she could get loose. Reluctantly, I agreed to let her start trying to get loose. I had to watch her carefully though as her struggles almost caused her to fall off the chair more than a few times.
I started to feel a little guilty about how well Penny was tied so I started asking her if she wanted me to let her go. For quite a while Penny nodded her head no, but finally in exasperation she shook her head yes. I started by pulling the gag out of her mouth so she could breath a little better and talk. She had to admit that you could indeed tie someone up with household stuff well enough that they couldn't get loose.
We never played tie up games again, never evening mentioning the one experience to one another again. For one brief glorious afternoon though I got to securely tie, gag and blindfold my older cousin.
