to use bondage tape on dd and dsd?

[Rachog]

Dd and dsd both 4 are into the little mermaid at the moment. Dd found a Christmas stocking in the toy box and was wearing it like a fin.

This of course caused arguments because dsd wanted a fin too. I remembered that I had a roll of pink bondage tape in the grown up toy box so I used it to bind their legs from knee to ankle leaving their feet Aw flippers.

The girls were made up with their mermaid tails and had lots of fun but when dp came in he was less than impressed.

The tape is like punk plastic on a roll that sticks to itself but not clothes or skin. It's quite flexible and easily torn to remove it.

So was I being unreasonAble?

Ooooo, I use that floral tape for cake decorating

Wouldn't use that for bondage Toria, it looks a bit permanent!

We once used a large flat wooden spoon for, well..."adult fun". I think I did wash it before I used it to stir the spag bol the next day

Regardless of what people think of this issue, please do not start binding either yourself or other people in things that are not sold for that purpose. They are not made out of the same material. Plastics vary, and one sold to be water and air tight is not a good idea.

If the OP is not concerned that there is an impact on the children, then surely it is about her DH, and she should be having a discussion with him about it, not making her mind up via MN jury.

Dittany, would it be ok if they were small boys?

vashti-she asked mn!!!

Makes me think of an episode of Friends.

They're not mine (handcuffs) look how flimsy they are, you couldn't hang someone from a water pipe with those!
You don't really tie guys to water pipes do you?
Where do you think Mike really is?

And I don't actually plan to start tying my DH up with automotive and plumbing tape. As much as it might be pleasant to have him sit still for a couple of hours...

Dp just raised an eyebrow and said what on earth are you doing? He didn't cause a row or make them remove it.

I posted on here just to get a view of what others thought. It is not an issue in our rl, I was just interested in other pov.

It seems some people agree and others don't, same as many other issues.

I wonder how many people who came round and saw dd's playing mermaids would have even realised what it was.

dittany- im lost, im guessing youre comment about being prude was about what i said about being prude but i dont get it.iyswim?

Cheese, yes, but what is she asking?

She has already decided she thinks it is fine, so she isn't really asking for opinions on that. So it is either she's asking about how she should discuss it/deal with it with her DH that she wants advice on, or she just wants to tell a whole load of strangers that she bound some children's legs together. And it is the latter that people on here seem to want to talk about, in connection with their own sexual activities. And that to me is far more odd than what the OP did.

I am opposed to the sexualisation of children. I am more opposed to the way people make things sexual. You can make anything sexual. Just because this has been used for that does not make it sexual on it's own peering at sellotape and no...it's ok it's just tape The kids are oblivious. The DH isn't innocent, hence he has issues.

Personally I think you should respect his discomfort btw

However it was done without any sexual motive. The kids are oblivious and will remain so. I don't think social services need informing about the fancy dress mermaid tail made out of bondage tape....just yet

Sorry, xpost Cheese. I wasn't replying to your last post.

OP - a couple of posters are going to twist everything on this thread and suggest you are a hairy handed trucker getting off on this. Which is a very very very sick path to go down but they will feel morally righteous about it.... I'd walk away now before it gets too nasty.

I was merely posting to see what other people thought purely out of interest.

It doesn't need dealing with, with dp, I assume he was a little surprised, wasn't really impressed with my creativity as it wasnt something he would do, he saw the girls were having innocent fun and let them get on with it.

I wasn't asking for advice as such, I am just nosey at other peoples point of view.

I'm not suggesting the OP is not genuine. I'm just pointing out that people are posting replies that they are entertained by about adult sexuality on a thread about children.

Thanks toothbrush thief, that is good advice.

I think everyone is entitled to an opinion, I can seperate sexy fun from my children and a bit of pink plastic doesn't change that.

YY tooth The OP just used some tape that is marketed as for use in bondage to well bond the girls legs together in a perfectly innocent childhood game. There was nothing sexual in it at all.

I am secretly hoping they tell all their friends next week at school/preschool about it so the OP has to explain to the other parents what 'mermaid leg' tape to buy and where.

I am merely feeling that I have led a tedious and sheltered life as I have never come across pink bondage tape before and want to know what it's like. Purely for research purposes, obviously.

Haha you are kidding, I will order it from.love honey, re-wrap it and sell it at a mark up!

I have seen the black one - my late friend used to use it to hold her huge boobs down under basques etc.

rachog, no, i don't think you took my point wrongly.

you used an item from your sex life with your children. you bound them. you didn't even warn him first. he likes bondage - presumably you both do or you wouldn't have such stuff in the house.

even if he is the straightest, nicest guy on earth, he might well find something odd about that. and if heunexpectedly met with the children trussed up like offerings for him, yes, it might just work for him.

no wonder he wasn't comfortable with it.

For motherinferior.

I feel much more informed now, thank you.

I'm just trying to get over the idea of shop role play with a child's till. Horses for courses and all that.

Ikea role play would be the best contraceptive ever.
