Rigid metal cuffs
When I visited Bind of Men In Chains last fall, Louis put me in some rigid metal handcuffs!
These are two different sets.
Metal gets bound by Louis
When visiting the men of Men in Chains and Serious Male Bondage recently on my trip to Iowa, I finally got to meet Louis — who has websites here and here. Louis and I have been in touch via email for ages, and it was great to meet him! He put me in various forms of restraint, including secured with humane restraints to a cot while wearing boxing gloves:
And he also locked me in this box:
Louis shared these and many more pictures to his Tumblr page
This is the same guy who invented a self-bondage system shown HERE
TBT: Jim Stewart and the history of Fetters
I think in all of bondage, my favorite restraints are the “darbies-style” handcuffs and leg cuffs, shown here:
The picture above is from the website of a guy named Louis, who has a site on Tumblr dedicated to “Straitjackets, medical restraints and more.” You can click to see his blog (which has NOT been censored by Tumblr!) by clicking here.
As Louis writes on his site, these cuffs and much more were sold by Jim Stewart (of blessed memory) and his company, Fetters.
You can learn more about Jim and the history of Fetters by clicking here.
Also, be sure to check out Jim’s very extensive website, featuring tons of content — including lots of stories — available here.
