             Here’s a beautiful technique for restraining the arms behind
             your partner’s body—without investing in an expensive
             leather “arm sock.” It also has the nice side effect of
             projecting your partner’s chest forward for your viewing
             and playing pleasure. You can also raise the arms up for
             unobstructed aim, or tie the piece down for intense upper
             body restriction. And although it looks like a lot of knots,
             you can untie the whole piece in under ten seconds!
