While some people can be fine with a self-suspension using only the horizontal bands of a chest harness, Shay prefers having a couple of bands going over the shoulders and weaving in the front for better support. She teaches how to not only add them but the neat tricks involved in tying literally behind your own back. As she finishes off the chest harness it turns out to be both functional and aesthetic, and she covers variations for people with different types of chest tissue as well.
Rope bondage can be extremely dangerous. Self-suspension is an aerial activity with many inherent risks. Never tie alone or without appropriate instruction. Consult your doctor before attempting potentially strenuous activities like self-suspension.
