    A belated comment because of delays in finally getting around to look at it…

    The concept sounds like a lot of fun, and it turned out to be a lot of fun in some ways. However… I would have liked it a lot better if the chaining had been something other than wrists-cuffed-behind-the-back. I’ve commented before on how “nude model” + “wrists bound behind” + “model attempting to do things” gives me an irritating, squicky sense of model pulling stuff out of her rear. It’s especially irritating when it involves food or setting the table for a meal. And that fingernails-on-chalkboard-only-with-squick feeling was strong with this one.

    So I’d like to say: Don’t stop the NIM type sets, but please do figure out some alternative chaining for when the models are doing some task or chore. Maybe wrists in front, plus a tether chain to the waist or ankles. Maybe a classic “Gorean Sirik.” Maybe an asymmetric tethering to the waist, with one wrist having a long chain and the other a short one. Maybe a wrist-to-ankle hobble, so that the model has to put one foot up on a chair in order to reach above her waist and deal with things on the table top. Something.

    I know it’s all a matter of personal opinion, which is neither right nor wrong, but I have to say that the nude handcuffed behind the back is my favorite type of bondage. Being cuffed in front, even with waist chains, just doesn’t seem worth the effort. There’s something about hands fastened behind the back that greatly heightens the sense of helplessness and vulnerability that is the whole point of bondage.

    I wasn’t squicked by the food but I’d be fine with her doing something else.

    Hey, it’s also fine if she’s bound so that she can do nothing but struggle.

    I agree that hands-cuffed-behind is great for making the model look helpless and vulnerable – normally. But if the point is to show the model actually doing things despite her restraints, then hands-cuffed-behind, well, backfires.

    Showing the model being able to do stuff (in a cutely limited way) despite her hands being cuffed behind her takes away from the idea that hands-cuffed-behind is such a great way to make the model helpless, in addition to the other factors that annoy me.

    Maybe if those other factors didn’t bother me, I’d see the limitations imposed by hands-behind here as cute and sexy, rather than jarring. Maybe if things were slightly different it wouldn’t bother me so. If the models wore miniskirts rather than being 100% bare-ass nude. Or if the models were manipulating keys, or wrenches, or other tools rather than food and food-prep and party things.

    But as a matter of personal taste, there’s a negative synergy going here that does cause it to bother me.
