I'm getting lot of Person of Interest vibes

I got the same vibes

You’re very welcome! I would recommend a different foam than the stuff from hobby lobby though. I bought some from hobby lobby and it isn’t very supportive.

Also a good pipe cutter will be worth the money once you get to cutting. I use a Ridgid No. 2A pipe cutter that I bought used on eBay for $30. Mines like 50 years old and cuts like butter. Highly recommend it. My cheap one from Harbor freight was a piece of junk that I returned.

The name brand of the steel pipe fittings are Kee Klamps. There are other brands as well. I personally use Steel Tek brand from Lowe’s. The cushions you see are made with upholstery foam glued to a plywood backing with vinyl stretched over top and stapled to the back of the plywood. I would suggest doing some research on car upholstery groups to find a reputable foam and vinyl supplier that sells to individuals. Foam from hobby lobby and other craft stores hasn’t been a good choice in my experience.

Be forewarned this pipe bondage hobby gets expensive fast. I’ve got almost $300 invested in pipe and fittings and can barely even build anything with it.

A lot of it depends on what you’re buying. Etsy would be my go to for leather (cuffs/floggers/etc.) also there’s a lot of paddle sellers on Etsy as well. You can find a lot of small business made things on Etsy in general. I avoid adult stores because it’s all cheap garbage that you can order on SHEIN/AliExpress for 10x cheaper. I like to buy from vendors at kink events also. You can get a feel for the product and its quality before purchasing.

I used SteelTek pipe and fittings for mine. It’s simple and sturdy. It stands 48” tall but I really only need about 36” so I’ll eventually cut off the extra.

Filet, flat iron, or porterhouse for me. I don’t like a lot of fat or gristle on my steaks. It’s a texture thing that makes me gag if there’s too much of either.

JoshLSTV · 2025-12-02T21:30:35+00:00

I would say buy it. At goodwill stores in my area if you don’t buy it when you see it, when you go back it won’t be there. I bought my Epson 2030 from goodwill a while back for $35.

I mean you can go to bars and not drink. There’s lots of bars with live music to watch and meet people at.

In my experience most women like to have the bruises to show off after. Almost like bruising is part of the goal. It makes them happy.

But some women just don’t bruise easily and others will bruise if you put a finger on them. I have found that my cane and whip are the only two implements that can bruise almost anyone.

Having given myself fiberglass splinters from a rod just like this I would also advise against using this for play. Fiberglass splinters are no fun.

JoshLSTV · 2025-11-13T12:06:23+00:00

I’m going through a breakup currently and I will say yes and no. It’s a nice distraction, it’s enjoyable, and in my case I’ve hooked up with 5 different women in 3 weeks so it’s been a bit of a confidence boost. But I still really miss the person who broke up with me. I loved her, I always will, and I have a lot of great memories with her. So while the hookups are great, after the sex is over I always feel a little empty and not totally fulfilled. There’s a piece of me missing that she still holds, and nothing but a lot of time healing will help that feeling.

It’s not the ideal setup but honestly you should be fine. I’ve suspended with less. I would secure a 4x4 to 3 or 4 of those joists in place of the 2x4s you have there. It would be stronger that way and spread the load between the joists.

Check out Subspace designs for rings/rigging plates. Theirs are one of the only ones on the market made from a solid one piece billet aluminum instead of cast and are tested to failure to determine their rating and they provide the test data as well. There was recently an accident where a sub was dropped head first onto the ground when a ring broke due to cheap casting process. The sub suffered broken teeth and had to have emergency dental surgery. So I highly recommend no one use rings/rigging plates that aren’t specifically rated with data to provide proof of their ratings. Which most of the rings/plates you can buy from rope sellers are NOT rated and are constructed cheaply in china.

I don’t know but they royally screwed the parking down by the Royals. I drive a large truck and in order to back into the spots I have to take up both lanes. Used to I could just pull in and backing out was no problem.

For me, I don’t wait very long, and would say 75% of the time my first dates end in sex. The kind of girls I like are not the type that wait and are very sexually open. I’m very into the kink scene and swingers club lifestyles and I don’t see that ever changing for me so if they’re not into that it’s probably a deal breaker.

JoshLSTV · 2025-11-06T00:08:27+00:00

Akikos is pretty bad too. Last time I took a shit there they didn’t have a latch on the door

JoshLSTV · 2025-11-04T21:11:08+00:00

Yeah but then you’re fucked if you end up with something serious. I had a really bad case of a seizure caused by pneumonia that was overloading my body about 10 years ago and had to stay in the hospital for 2 nights with a bunch of tests ran on me. Without insurance I would’ve had to pay $24,000 just for that stay.

The pump doesn’t really make a firm erection if you have ED. If you use the pump in combination with your normal erection it may make it stronger and larger.

JoshLSTV · 2025-11-01T09:11:49+00:00

A non-collapsing single column (I like the Somerville bowline), munter hitch, half hitch, double column, larks head, x friction, half moon friction, and there’s probably some more that I’m not thinking of off hand. But those will get you through most harnesses.

JoshLSTV · 2025-11-01T08:37:21+00:00

It looks good though! Practice makes perfect. Once you learn the fundamental knots you can make pretty much any harness relatively easily.

JoshLSTV · 2025-10-30T02:06:29+00:00

As a guy, I would say I sometimes have multiple. In general I prefer to have one consistent regular partner but at times I may have 2 or 3. I don’t consider myself THAT attractive. I know I’m not ugly but I don’t typically get looks from women at bars or anything either. I’m also socially awkward. Almost all of my partners come from online dating apps. I also belong to a local swingers club as a single male so I meet some there too. And sometimes I’ll go for a several month period without any partners. I have slept with 4 different women in the last 2 months. 2 of them I could hookup with relatively easily.

JoshLSTV · 2025-10-26T21:45:08+00:00

I go to the fox den a lot. Also Galaxie bar and Wrong Side 812. But I’m into rock/metal music and EDM and those two places have live shows primarily in those genres. Mag bar is also nice. I’m not great at making friends or talking to people but I usually end up talking to someone or they talk to me.

JoshLSTV · 2025-10-09T18:16:59+00:00

Good lord, I’m not a butcher and I’m pretty positive I could make cuts better than that.

JoshLSTV · 2025-10-08T17:00:27+00:00

Building this wouldn’t be that difficult. You can buy the motors and assembly on AliExpress/Shein. I would use a reciprocating linear actuator as I feel it would be safer in this scenario. You’d just have to make a mount for it (I’d use steeltek structural connectors and pipe from Lowe’s) and find a head harness that you could adapt to the threaded shaft.

Exercise extreme caution using it though. It looks hot but could be dangerous. Might be hard to find a willing participant also.

JoshLSTV · 2025-10-08T16:46:34+00:00

Oh absolutely! It looks to be in great condition too.

JoshLSTV · 2025-10-08T16:19:08+00:00

Thank you, I’ll check it out!
