I saw the page for the karada on Wikipedia, and had never before seen it tied outside the arms.
I saw an advertisement for straight Japanese bondage porn. The ad showed a photo of a suspended hogtie used for intense oral sex.
I have normally avoided the hogtie and the spread eagle because in their traditional form they produce only non-useful erotic bondage sculpture.
But a suspension of the hogtie would make it useful.
As long as I was doing a hogtie I felt that I should make it pretty. So I decided to do the karada rope dress on the legs.
Tying the legs is a fall hazard. So I first tied the chest harness and tied soundsFun to the winch. (he still thought that he could fall until a small push demonstrated that he was safe from hitting the floor)
I tied double coin knots after a single column friction at the waist using a 50ft 8mm hemp rope. The double coin knot lies fairly flat when it is well dressed, so is more comfortable pressed against the body. A separate 40ft 8mm rope opens the rope between knots. A mid rope friction around the ankles finishes the tie.
I lowered him to the floor. I tied a basic two column tie on his hands.
I tied the vertical lines and lifted soundsFun into the air.
For comfort I needed to adjust the hip lines a little lower, and I needed to adjust his ankles.
The result was pretty and quite usable.
