A Dangerous Experiment

I’ve wanted to try this for years, but I couldn’t come up with a safe way to do it. Yesterday’s experiment underscored the danger. It didn’t end in catastrophe, but it easily could have.

What I did different was to tie my ankles together and to a heavy lead weight (about 16kg). The reason this is such a dangerous proposition is that you can’t pump your legs without pulling yourself deeper. Also, in order to get untied, you need to be able to reach your ankles. It’s likely, that if you do manage to reach your ankles, and you have to come up for air, you will have gone deeper and won’t be able to reach the surface again.

So, having my ankles tied to the weight is a scary proposition, but for me, that makes it an erotic proposition. Ever since the first time I considered it, I’ve been mulling it over and pondering how it could be done in a way that would be exciting (i.e. dangerous), but not suicidal. Yesterday, I decided to try it in very thick mud, knowing I wouldn’t suddenly be pulled under.

In the interest of making a video, I started out with my wrists tied behind my back and a ball-gag in my mouth. I knew I’d be able to get my wrists free when I wanted to, and remove the gag. However, the ankle tie was another matter. I added a second rope tied directly to the weight that I would be able to use to pull the weight up, independent of my ankles. I also stowed a bamboo pole in the grass that I could use to lift myself out. Finally, I had my breathing tube nearby, in the event that I had to submerge to reach something.

I sank up to my ears before I decided it was time to end the scene and make an earnest attempt at freeing myself from the muddy trap. As soon as I started pulling at the weight, I realized I was in for a protracted battle. I had been pushing the weight deeper and deeper into very thick mud and I would have to break the suction, in addition to lifting a 16kg weight and withdrawing my ankles at the same time. To be clear, if I was that deep in that mud without the weight, pulling my body out would require lots of wriggling and strenuous tugging.

I used the bamboo pole in multiple ways. I pulled on it in an attempt to drag my body up from the depths, with the weight in tow. I wrapped the rope around it and used it like a winch to pull the weight up, centimeter by centimeter. I also used the breathing tube to reach further down, but I couldn’t reach anywhere near my ankles, much less reach far enough down to untie a knot that would be below my ankles.

The struggle, and the real possibility that I might be stuck there was turning me on, but I didn’t stop to indulge myself until I knew I had gotten the weight out of the thickest mud and would be able to untie my ankles. That effort took easily 20 minutes and it was exhausting. For the most part, I just kept pulling on the rope, tugging with my ankles, and working my body over the bamboo to get the full force of my core strength in play.

Once I was nearly free, I had to address my sexual arousal. While my ankles were still tied to the weight, I tied my genitals to the bamboo pole and went into the mud, face-first. I struggled for a while with my face in the mud, then I untied my ankles, dragged the weight all the way to the surface, tied my genitals to the weight, and went back into the hole, this time with my ankles at the surface and the weight pulling me down butt-first. With the weight closer to the surface, I could easily drag myself back out, so there was no danger, but being tugged down by my balls was just what I needed to relieve some of my sexual energy. I wish I had had more time.

I recorded most of this on video, but I stopped the camera after I untied my ankles because I thought I was done. I left the weight there, so I could return on a future date and repeat that last bit. I had to get out of there, because the tide was coming in fast and it was about to overtake me and all of my gear. I’m going to break the video into two parts. There will be the fantasy story part, then the unedited real escape effort for anyone who wants to watch it. This video will probably be a one-of-a-kind, because I don’t think I can ever do this again. It turned out to be as dangerous as I anticipated. Had anything gone wrong, I’d still be out there.
