Thanks for that suggestion! I’ve updated the description to link to the specific booty basket that they use, as it’s important to use that specific one for the sequence. And I linked the a calf binder that will work well in this sequence. As for the TK, we suggest you work with your partner to find the one that suits them best.

Hi! Great question! Check out this armbinder pattern from FredHatt and then see about combining elements of this with the additional chest support from Gorgone

Check out our geeking about SCT video series and let us know if that helps!

Great questions. Whether or not this is a stressful position will really depend on the person being tied (not to mention that some people like to be tied in somewhat stressful positions). As for the rope on the elbows, if the bottom was hanging their whole weight on that line that would likely cause nerve problems! In this case, the final position is as shown with the model standing. This means that if the rope starts to bother the elbows it’s easy for the bottom to lift their elbows and the top to adjust the rope. Having the shelf will likely feel like a nice support rather than a problem!

Hi! Great question! The simple answer to this is that it’s a problem for the nerves only if it’s a problem for the nerves. Here since the strappado wraps are holding the arms in place but not loaded, there shouldn’t be so much tension on them, and the little tension added by the upline likely won’t cause a problem. Of course, every body is different and this is why it’s important to practice suspensions with bottoms who also feel ready to explore at this level and communicate to you if they notice anything that feels like a problem.

We’re sorry to hear that and thank you for the feedback! We’re working hard this year to improve the production quality of our lives, including getting more mics to our intstructors. I’ve made a note of your feedback!

You could build them either way! As Gorgone does it here both wraps end up in one big friction. If you build the top wrap fully before the bottom wrap you’ll need to decide if you want to lock them together or lock them independently!

Yes, this version with “added deco” specifically is suitable for partial suspensions!

Definitely. That makes sense. You could try this on yourself starting at your ankle and going high up towards your knee. And then continue to follow along by laying another piece of rope on your leg between your ankle cuff and top pass as Gorgone does lower on the arm.

You could definitely explore that combo!Â
