1. I’m mainly posting this to point out how poor the rigging behind this picture really is. The technique is fine, I admit, sloppy but not horrible. The thing is though, that the ropes at the upper arms of this girl are tied right on top of her elbow joints. This is bad. Here’s why; Direct pressure to the joints themselves may lead to tissue damage, it will also, without a doubt, cut off her circulation, but most importantly it may cause nerve damage. Nerves are at their most vulnerable at the joints of any limb, as they’re not protected by bone, nor muscle tissue. Nerve damage, if it occurs and it’s bad enough, can take years to recover from. If you want to tie your lover’s elbows, don’t do this. Proper rope placement for a tie like this is a bit above the elbows. Still use caution though, as any elbow bondage may lead to some restriction in blood flow.
