Sponsor a Bondage Dream!

First a few notes about The Pound (that’s what I’m calling my new cage). It arrived a few weeks ago. To be honest, when I first knew I was getting it (it was a surprise gift), I was a little skeptical. “What am I going to do with a puppy cage?! And where am I going to put it!?!?” I thought. Then it arrived and …wow. Those of you who’ve visited since its arrival have probably been quite surprised at all the uses I’ve found for it. When my friend Mistress Yin saw the picture on my blog, she talked about what a difference a REAL cage does to the bottom’s headspace. “It’s a whole different mindfuck when they know they can’t get out,” she said.

OMG was she right. Talk about taking the starch out of a man. Whether you’re locked in as tease. Or punishment. Or storage. Or just because that’s where I want ya, dammit. The Pound is irrefutable. And SO HOT. I’ve stuffed a blindfolded man inside and let him think he’d been left alone. I’ve had ’em in there totally unfettered to just watch and wait. I’ve sat on the top bars and let loose a torrent of piss, only to make him soak in it until I was ready to release him.

And that’s just when you’re inside.

Outside, I’ve found it’s an ideal whipping bench. He’s bent over the curved top, hands cuffed and locked into place. So much prime real estate for my whip. Were I into strapon, I could totally see pounding away at him, whether he were face up or face down on that top (another reason for “The Pound”).

It’s just an awesome piece of gear. So much so that after receiving it, I contacted Metalbound and inquired about having more furniture built for Salon d’Orleans. Replacing my bondage bed/cage topped my wishlist, especially since now that I’d seen what a real cage could do to a man, the wooden sleeping cage I’ve got now is a joke.

With Corey’s help (he’s the owner, designer and fabricator at Metalbound), I came up with a slightly lower, aluminum-framed piece that opens from the side so to make it easier to get a fella in and out, particularly when a bodybag is involved. Once finished, the upholstered and Tempurpedic-padded surface will have a back support that can be lifted and lowered, not only for diversity in positions, but to also help the bottom stay in bondage longer. Bondage points along the upper and lower perimeters will make sure that I can employ my whole arsenal of bondage straps, belts, ropes, and other tie-downs to make sure no one’s going anywhere.

I also asked Corey to build me a suspendable metal “backboard,” much like the kind used to tote fallen skiiers down the slopes. Only 17″ wide, this piece will allow me to do super tight, suspended mummifications. I’m so psyched.

The last item on my wish list was a bondage chair. Initially, my instructions were fairly basic and the result was something quite elegant and graceful, but definitely not something that was going to meet my needs. As I started explaining to Corey what I needed this chair to do, I realized that this could be just a valuable a piece of equipment as the bondage bed and The Pound.

The next take nearly got it: Lots of places to tether bondage, a tall back that would facilitate head bondage. Optional rods that would run underneath what would be the upholstered seat with a convenient, removable cutout so that the balls could drop and be tethered, if desired. A few bondage points on the chair bottom to keep the legs still. As soon as I got a good look at it though, I started to see where what was there just wasn’t going to be enough. I called Corey again. I told him that I wanted hinged arms that can be locked into place or moved out of the way. And that I wanted MORE tie down points. Everywhere. On the back of the chair, its sides, undersides … there can just never be too many bondage points. A few colleagues I showed the pictures to also suggested I request a padded backpad to protect the bare spine from the unforgiving rods. Last, I asked for a detachable stockade of sorts to be added to the chair.

I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am about these new additions. I’m already fantasizing about the different kinds of scenes I want to do with them It’s going to be awesome!!!!

The unfortunate thing is, though, is that the stuff ain’t cheap and my kink got a little bigger than my wallet on this occasion. Consequently, if you’re as excited about playing with this new stuff as I am and would like to contribute to the Furniture Fund, I’m currently offering an extra hour of play for every donation over $100. If you’d like information on how to donate, please send me an email and I’ll be happy to give you the details. If you’d like to send something anonymously, you can do so via postal mail to: Troy Orleans, 2753 Broadway $103, New York, NY 10025. Paypal, checks and money orders are all accepted. With any luck, the furniture will be ready for delivery at the end of this month. Please help me turn this fantasy into an amazing reality! Thanks in advance.
