How to build a bamboo cage
I would never advocate keeping a prisoner against his will, or putting anyone in restraints who does not WANT to be restrained. However, I must admit, many times I have beat off thinking about American prisoners of war in Vietnam, being kept tied up or locked in small, uncomfortable cages. Is that wrong?
A while back, CREUSS sent along a set of instructions on how to build a bamboo cage. Batard4skin writes:
Cages are a sort of cubic box. As you know, in tropical regions, bamboo grows fast, easily and is very solid. You can make many thinks with bamboo.
You cut the bamboo sticks first, and you make a sort of ladder crossing the two main bars with smaller ones, and you tie them all with leaves you pick up on some plants (can’t remember the name now). Those natural ties are really solid and efficient.
To prevent the bars from slipping, you make some cuttings in the bamboo, to keep it in place.
You make four equal panels like this, then two smaller ones. Then you build the box.
When you tie the panels together, they are firmly held. The bamboo is flexible enough not to break easily, or if you have some pressure on it.
As you are normally hands tied up in your back in such a cage, it is really escape-proof.
Thanks for the information, CREUSS!

GMSMA NewsLink
Before I had this website, waaaaaay back a long time ago, I was a member of Gay Male SM Activists (GMSMA), a New York City-based organization. GMSMA aimed to promote safe, sane and consensual SM through three “pillars” — education, activism and social activities. Sadly, GMSMA closed up shop a few years back. (To read about that, click here.)
I was editor of NewsLink, the newsletter for GMSMA, for about five years, and I was recently going through some boxes of old stuff and I came across a bunch of old issues. Here is a sampling:
I did not want to throw my extra copies away, so Hilton over at Purple Passion here in NYC graciously agreed to distribute them. You can stop by Purple Passion, located at 211 West 20th Street just west of 7th Avenues in Manhattan, and pick up a copy.
While you;re at it, you might want to buy something, because they are having a huge sale this week. They also have a very large stock of vintage magazines available for really cheap.

The Vow of a Dominant — a work in progress by begForIt
Sometimes I read the hottest things in Recon profiles. Like the “Vow of a Dominant,” written by begForIt (pictured above). I am sharing this here on Metalbond with his permission. I think it is a good complement to the “Boys Bill of Rights” that is widely circulated.
The Vow of a Dominant — a work in progress by begForIt
When I have taken a submissive into my service, for whatever length of time, for an hour or for a lifetime:
- I vow to keep my body in the best condition possible, so that my submissive has a daily visual reminder of his total abject inferiority.
- I vow to administer discipline in as thorough and ruthless a manner as possible so that my submissive experiences the full depth of my concern that he obey me in everything.
- I vow to be bold and creative in the challenges and lessons I design for my submissive, so that his humility and docility are constantly being renewed.
- I vow that I will stay constantly aware of the need to think for two, in recognition that my submissive has turned his will over to me and effectively no longer has a will of his own.
- I vow to recognize sacrifice and devotion only at the times which I find to be fitting, and only in the manner in which I find to be fitting.
- I vow to refuse any negotiation with or pleading from the submissive once the term of service has begun and limits have been defined, as this would be a sign of weakness and a turning away from my responsibility to be the final word in any and all matters.
- I vow to resist any attempt by the submissive to get attention when I am not interested in providing it.
to be continued…
Thanks, begForIt, for letting me post this!
David Stein has two speaking gigs coming up in California
I had lunch today with NYC-based gay leather activist, writer, publisher and educator David Stein, who is heading to the Bay Area later this month, where he has two speaking engagements booked. See below for details.
HURTS SO FINE: EROTIC ABRASION
San Francisco Leathermen’s Discussion Group Program
The skin is by far the largest organ in the human body, but most SM techniques evoke only a small fraction of its potential for painful pleasure. Abrasion can be exquisitely calibrated from sensuous to excruciating, and a long, patient brushing can leave your bottom’s skin so sensitive that simply breathing on it will make him shriek!

COMMON SENSE PRINCIPLES FOR ETHICAL BDSM (R)
Presentation at Northwest Leather Celebration (May 17-19 in San Jose)
If you want to do “the right thing” in a BDSM play space or a kinky relationship, but aren’t always sure what that is, come to this workshop. It’s not about “imposing rules” or “setting standards” but about ideas you can use to make your play and relationships more fulfilling.

Not a good idea
Here’s an example of an accident waiting to happen:
When the candles burn down just a little farther, those METAL HOLDERS are going to get so HOT that they will cause BURNS on the bound dude’s skin.
If you are going to do something like this, use candles without those metal holders, and also cut the metal wick holder out of the bottom of the candle so THAT does not heat up and cause a nasty burn.
Also avoid expensive beeswax candles, which burn at a much higher temperature. And try not to burn the house down while you are at it.
Now you know (in case you didn’t already).
Reader submission: A homemade bondage fuck bench
Check out the pictures and information from RbbrStorage:
Dear Metal,
I thought you might be interested in the attached. There is a website out there that shows projects people have made by “hacking” IKEA products and using them for a different purpose than they were intended. It inspired me to build my own fuck bench for less than $100, using a $30 IKEA sawhorse/table support, a $60 black leather footrest cushion, and less than $10 in assorted hardware and scrap plywood. The cushion can be raised at the front or back, or both, and it’s surprisingly stable. It took about an hour to build, and we used it for a fun and successful test drive last night.
It includes a holder for a Fun Factory penis massager, made from a drink holder, a pipe support clip and a few eyelets, for hands-free orgasm. It even includes a handy shelf for lube, towels, etc.
The vibrator is a Fun Factory Cobra Libre from Stockroom:
Using this is the only way I’m allowed to cum anymore, and only in bondage. It’s a pretty awesome machine.
I’m planning to add a few more details, like a platform for resting the weight on my knees, and maybe a cushion under the neck to hold the head up.
I’m sure IKEA has something that will work for both of those needs. Maybe if enough of your readers come up with cheap and simple projects like this, we can get IKEA to add a dungeon department.
Cheers,
RbbrStorage
Metal would like to thank RbbrStorage for the pictures and information above.
