At Kink in the Caribbean last year, Ian Rath of FetishNation asked me if Dee and I did predicament bondage...I said, "I guess so". Then looking back through four years of bondage photos, it turns out that we often do.

When "predicaments" won the vote for this week, I found several descriptions of this practice on the web, including:

Fetish Diva Midori uses the same definition of choice (see a description of her predicament bondage class).

So following the dictum that you must first understand the rules before you break them, here are 8 photos of Dee in a classic bondage predicament: tied up and down so she can neither stand nor sit (elapsed time, 20 minutes):

Classic predicament bondage, ankles tied spread	Nipples clamps tied to the ceiling to prevent sitting down	Genitals tied to a heavy weight on a short string to prevent standing straight	Note use of rubber bands as a safety measure to prevent ripping out piercings
She must bend one or both legs to avoid three pounds of pull on her piercings	Hands cuffed behind her back to keep them from interfering	After the torment is over, Mick cuts the strings to the weights	Relief, able to stand at last

Now this is a predicament without choices...just an inexorably increase in the difficulty of the situation that must simply be endured. Here the flow of water from one tank to another causing an increasing pull on Dee's nipple clamps (elapsed time, 20 minutes).

More like an episode of Batman than the classic definition of predicament bondage, this is simply an increasingly "difficult" and "trying" situation. We did this scene four years ago (January 2000).

The Puring Bottle scenario, one water cup drips slowly into the second, which uses a pulley system to add weight

The weight pulls upwards on her nipple clamps, here we see at the start there is little weight

Here we see that most of the water has flowed into the bottom half

Causing a huge pull on the nipples

Here then are 28 examples from our personal photo albums. One common theme is to bind Dee severely with strings or weights so that any movement causes painful results from nipple clamps or piercings, and and then stimulate her clitoris vigorously to induce uncontrolled orgasms. One scene not pictured here includes a sound-activated electrical shock to punish her for making any noise. Mick enjoys watching Dee try to orgasm without moving or making any sounds.

You'll also notice several images from Dee's "Whipped into Shape" exercise program. In preparation for the nude beaches of Jamaica, Dee asked me to make sure she exercised. I assured her enthusiastic participation in her daily workouts by chaining her nipples to the machine.

Hooded and cuffed to her exercise machine	The nipple clamps dance as she walks	Vibrated to orgasm by the Sybian repeatedly, she stares as the key to her cuffs	She got the cuffs loose from their hook, but she can't catch them, and they catch on her wrist cuffs...she can only stare at the keys to her freedom right there but out of reach
Another exercise session, she is belted in her Access Denied chastity belt, and her nipples are clamped and chained to the machine	Watch the chains dangle as she bounces through her workout	Gagged to prevent complaints about exercising	Here's a predicament: vibrated to orgasm, but her nipples are chained so she dare not wiggle as she comes
Annother cruel exercise, she must keep her ankles up or her legs pull on her nipple clamps	Note the leather chastity and vibrator to add distraction to her leg exercise	Note the pull on her nipples when she pulls her legs in closer	Here a lock is used as a weight through a pulley and through her collar. If she jerks her head, it pulls on the needles through her nipples
Now we turn on the Sybian and she if she can orgasm without jerking her head	Gagged, hooded and clamped, she rides the Sybian	Her arms are attached via rope ratchets to 10 pound weights...if she lets her arms out, the ratchets pull up the slack	Here we put a huge steel hook in her pussy
And hang her so she can't relax	Another hook goes into her ass	Now she's truly stuck, with hooks in both holes	Can she take a caning without trying to move her ass?
Here we dangle a vibrator over her pussy, but the "giggle ball" vibrates every 15 seconds, pulling on her nipple piercings	When the giggle ball vibrates, it moves the vibrator off the target	Here she must vibrate herself, but with the mittens, she can't control it easily	She hates sleeping in these mittens, because she can't pull up her covers without use of her fingers
Again, she's tied in the open and must vibrate herself	She may only use the vibrator, not her fingers	Another predicament involving a vibrator and strings through her nipple rings	The strings run from her labia piercings through her nipple rings and tie to her hands. If she moves anything, all her piercings get tugged
