This is definitely one technique you could use if tying someone bigger than you. Another reason you might use a pulley is if you want to lift a whole bondage position all at once as FredHatt demonstrates in a variety of predicament videos such as this one (versus lifting part of the body in one harness and then another part of the body in a different harness, as you would in many typical suspension sequences).

Ignacio Yes! You can suspend this from the back by attaching to the top wrap or the stem between the upper and lower wrap.

Hi! Great question. We wouldn’t recommend just using a quick release half hitch to lock your line, even if you’re building it very close to the U lock. It would be very easy for that to come loose or to accidentally grab the working line and undo your lock. You can however reinforce the quick release with a yuki knot (like Gorgone does here as a bottom lock) and that’s a safe and standard way of locking an upline. Note that this works best on a carabiner or very thin ring, where the lines that you’re closing with your U lock aren't being pulled away from each other under tension. 

Thank you for flagging! We’re fixing this now. 

You can definitely just keep going with your extra rope into the hip support, though what @knottydaddy said is true that you'll want to be careful and communicate with your model about whether or not the placement of your rope join is creating any uncomfortable pressure, especially around the inner thigh. 

Fuoco replying here, and just want to say that I’m so glad to hear that this felt good to your body! 

You could definitely do that. Try it both ways and think about if you like one way better than the other and why!

Thanks for flagging this. They should be working now!

I can totally understand that this is tricky to follow. While I can’t provide a close up, I can tell you that he’s tying a slipped half-hitch around the working line. So imagine that you’re tying a half-hitch with your bight, but rather than pulling the bight all the way through, you only pull it halfway through so that you create a quick release slipknot. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for catching that! We’ve re-categorized it.
