The cage experience

[baloo]

To make things clear: I mean the ones locked around an entire person.
So I am not entirely sure where this goes. This is a bit of DIY, a bit of advice seeking, looking for discussion, and just a teeny little bit of unloding.
I originally planned on making a blog post where I show off the finished design, but instead I opted to let you in on this journey as it is going.

Bondage is a huge kink of mine, in many different forms. One that I have never experienced though actual cages. For some time I have been wondering how it would be to play with them and in the spirit of DIY, finally decided to make one myself.
One? Well not exactly. I have not yet succeeded in completing one, which leaves me a little infuriated with myself. Tried welding one (made from a number of panels that ought to screw together), but my manufacturing skills were not up to the task. The next one, which I am currently working on, is made from pipes and fittings. Mighty sturdy frame, but the walls are still open. Instead of more expensive pipes and fittings, I tried to put in wire fences. They are not strong enough, from inside I could put my full force against them and just break it apart. A strange sensation - combination of pride in my own strength, and disappointment in my design.

So while I am sulking about this setback and evaluating my options, let's discuss!
Some jumping-off points to get it going:

• Have you ever been in a cage, or used it on a bottom? If so, how did it feel?
  • What sort of interaction do you like while you/your partner are in the cage?
• How do you compare cages to other forms of bondage, more restrictive ones like chains, handcuffs, rope?
• Any ideas on how to make the walls cheaply and sturdily?
• Have you ever used a cage alone?
  • How did you set it up? How long were you inside?
  • What did you do in there all alone?
• If you are as inexperienced as me and wondering yourself, stay tuned - I am planning on posting all my experiments.
  • Got ideas to try? Let's hear them!

• Have you ever been in a cage, or used it on a bottom? If so, how did it feel?

I have been in a cage. It started as a joke thing between me and a Dom but than I found I actually kind of enjoyed being in it when I just wanted to be alone. We used a wire dog cage you can get at Walmart and put fairy lights and blankets in it.

• • What sort of interaction do you like while you/your partner are in the cage?

I like it to just be a relaxing place. We lived in kind of a run down shitty place with no real privacy so to me it became almost like a bed room.

• How do you compare cages to other forms of bondage, more restrictive ones like chains, handcuffs, rope?

I feel like a cage is nothing like those at least from how we used it. I would never really compare it to bondage in any form at least in my experiences.

• Any ideas on how to make the walls cheaply and sturdily?

We just bought ours and put it in a corner so it was pretty sturdy.

• Have you ever used a cage alone?

Yes I actually found I liked it so much I do keep one in my closet for when I'm feeling a little anxious or just tired and really want to feel secluded.

• How did you set it up? How long were you inside?

Blankets, stuffed animals and fairy lights. The longest I have been in one is over night.

• What did you do in there all alone?

Just relax. Some times read. Watch Netflix/you tube. Maybe do some journaling and self reflecting.

• If you are as inexperienced as me and wondering yourself, stay tuned - I am planning on posting all my experiments.
  • Got ideas to try? Let's hear them!

Idk much about using them from a actual bondage stand point but they can be nice to be in. Good luck!

Interesting new perspective. I never thought of cages as a place of comfort / seclusion. I do have that with my bunk bed already
For me it is more about confinement, being put on display. With a splash of industrial dehumanization.
Do you lock your cage when you're in it by yourself, how do you release yourself / get released then?

I have not locked my self in it my Dom at the time did occasionally lock me in it just using a pad on the latch but if someone wanted to lock them selves in it you could just put a pad lock on the bars.
