A straight jacket looks like a jacket with long arms and buckles on the back. It is designed to strap a person's arms across his body and restrict his movement. Straight jackets have been used throughout history to restrain patients in mental institutions, or as a torture device. Traditionally made of canvas with leather straps, when designed as bondage and fetish gear you can find them in leather, faux leather, latex or PVC.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Put on the jacket by inserting your arms into the sleeves. Next, cross your arms in front of you. Finally, have your dominant pull the sleeves behind you and buckle the straps so you cannot move your torso much.

  2. Step 2

    Use straight jackets in bondage play as punishment devices, forcing your submissives to engage in humiliating acts while wearing them. You can also use them to hold submissives in place during punishment while you whip or spank their buttocks.

  3. Step 3

    Use them for training purposes in bondage. They are handy for teaching new submissives how to submit to your will and training slaves to obey your dominance. Have a submissive or slave wear a straight jacket while you lecture him or force him to perform sexual acts on you.

  4. Step 4

    Get a jacket with rings built into it to keep your submissive in place. Some jackets built for bondage play come with D-rings built into the sides of the arms, the collar or the hips so you can put chains through them. One supplier of these jackets is BDSM Store (see Resources below).

  5. Step 5

    Use straight jackets with crotch straps so your submissives cannot pull the jackets over their heads. The crotch strap wraps around the bottom of the jacket from front to back ensuring that it cannot be lifted off. This adds to the jacket's restraint value, as well as its aesthetics.

  6. Step 6

    Find straight jackets with built-in hoods for an extra confining sensation. If you like to play with sensory deprivation, a hood is a must. Attached to a straight jacket, it becomes a more intense experience for both dominant and submissive.

  7. Step 7

    Test straight jackets made of different fabrics until you find the ones you like to use. Medicaltoys.com sells several types (see Resources below).

Tips & Warnings
  • Dominants must always check on submissives at regular intervals during bondage play especially with straight jackets. Submissives should let dominants know if something is dangerously uncomfortable, painful or restricts their breathing.
  • Only use straight jackets for short-term play. Keeping someone's arms folded for too long can restrict blood flow and the jacket itself might restrict breathing.
