Four Points, One Bar Bondage Sex Position

The Four Points One Bar binds all of the wrists and ankles behind the back in an incredibly exposing posture using a spreader bar with four bondage points.

We advise putting all four shackles on the to-be-bound partner's wrists and ankles before beginning this sex position, if at all possible. The shackled individual should then lie on their stomach. After that, they should lift their ankles toward their head by bending their legs at the knees. As they fasten the ankles into the spreader bar, their partner can assist in positioning the ankles as necessary. When they arrive, the bound partner should attempt to extend from their wrists to their knees, holding onto the spreader bar if they can for more support. After that, their companion can secure the wrists to the spreader bar.

Before leaving the tied partner in this position, make sure their wrists aren't under a lot of strain when they're attached to the spreader bar. Nerve impingement may result from cuffs rubbing against the delicate areas of the wrists and ankles.

In the event of an emergency, the partner of the bound partner should also make sure that they can quickly release their "captive" from the Four Points, One Bar posture.

Prior to playing in the Four Points, One Bar position, make sure of these things.

More About Four Points, One Bar Bondage Sex Position

The Four Points, One Bar stance plays on the fragility and submissiveness of a bound partner. This posture might seem quite revealing due to the considerable bend and the difficulty of unfastening the wearer's restraints. Additionally, when fastened in this position, the bound partner's splayed knees can facilitate simple access between the thighs.

The challenge of this bondage position may also make some people fall in love with it. Some kinksters find that part of the challenge that helps them reach their calm, in-focus mental space is "suffering through" a challenging position.

The Dangers of the Four Points, One Bar Position

The Four Points One Bar position is a modified Hogtie position, and as such, it has the same possible risks. In other words, the posture necessitates a great deal of back flexibility, and the pressure of this hunched posture can make breathing extremely challenging, if not impossible.

The design of spreader bars with integrated cuffs, such as the STRICT Spreader Bar depicted in the position example, exacerbates all of this. A spreader bar with built-in cuffs is perfectly OK; however, because of their integrated construction, the cuffs are fixed to the spreader bar, and there is no way to move them apart to reduce the necessary backbend. To lessen the acute angle of the Four Points, One Bar position, utilize a spreader bar with detachable, dangling cuffs in conjunction with extra tethers.

A person in bondage should never be left alone, but the Four Points, One Bar posture makes this rule much more crucial. The pressure of the position can go from "uncomfortable" to "very difficult to breathe" in a matter of seconds. The person who is bound must be freed in a matter of seconds, and they might not be able to shout for assistance.

Before applying bondage, the Four Points, One Bar position can be examined. On your stomach, lie on the floor. Make use of the same surface you'll be playing on in the future; incredibly soft or firm floors may make this more challenging. Once there, move all four limbs toward the center point of your body, directly behind your butt, and try to grasp your feet with your hands. Most people who don't have an intense backbend will find this challenging, if not impossible. Even yogis frequently use straps to attain this pose. Once there, observe your breathing to determine if the Four Points One Bar position is comfortable for you.

All of this means that you should never try the Four Points, One Bar stance on your own. In addition to restricting respiration, this position is among the riskiest for solo bondage because it is tough to unfasten once your muscles have tired. (ER calls from bondage frequently concentrate around this posture!)In order to unfasten your body or contact emergency services, someone else must always be present. Other spreader bar positions, such as the Advanced X or Inverted X positions, are options to consider if you want to experiment with multi-limb bondage while working alone.

Modifying the Four Points, One Bar Position

The Four Points, One Bar position puts a lot of strain on the body, just like the Hogtie posture does. The entire posterior chain is compressed while the arms and thighs are held at abnormal angles. Additionally, this has the unintended consequence of forcing the stomach and ribs firmly into the ground below, making them the only places where the entire body weight can rest. In addition to being uncomfortable, this can make breathing quite challenging.

Due to this strain, the Four Points, One Bar position should always be carried out with open communication. Gags increase the risks associated with the job. Rather, concentrate on open and transparent communication throughout the role. Regular verbal check-ins and erring on the side of unbinding someone if something feels "off" might lessen the risk of this situation, especially if the bound partner finds the position stressful.

Not everyone is a good fit for the Four Points, One Bar position, and that's OK! Bondage is meant to be pleasurable and compatible with your personal risk tolerance. If you want more fun, we have a ton of additional fantastic bondage sex positions that might be more suitable. (The Leapfrog bondage position offers a straightforward "win" by using the same four-point spreader bar bind, but with fewer risks.)

These adjustments can help make the Four Points, One Bar position more accessible if you'd still like to attempt it:

• Get a Sprayer Bar with Detachable Handcuffs. Although we also adore the concept of a "one and done" purchase, you will have more possibilities if you choose a spreader bar with detachable cuffs. The cuffs will have a few inches of gap between the spreader bar and the cuff, which not only lessens the initial strain but also enables you to add other equipment to make this position more achievable.
• Put tethers in. If your spreader bar has detachable cuffs, you can attach a tether at any location. This allows you to increase the distance between the wrists and the ankles, which eases back tension and facilitates breathing.

• Make Use of Another Spreader Bar. Positioning both parts of the body on their respective spreader bars rather than striving for a single spreader bar can almost eliminate back strain. However, you will still need some shoulder flexibility!
• Try Various Surfaces. This position could be easier on softer (or stiffer) surfaces. If it's too rigid, breathing will become more challenging. If it's too soft, the person's face might be pressed against the surface, which would also make breathing difficult.
• Try Holding Different Positions. Although the person in the Four Points, One Bar, is depicted lying on their stomach, this is by no means necessary! To alleviate some of the breathing issues, this posture can be performed while the patient is lying on their side if the spreader bar's length permits it.

Even with these adjustments, we strongly advise warming up and stretching well before performing the Four Points, One Bar posture. The last thing you want is for a muscle cramp to abruptly end your scene because the tension on the shoulders, lower body, and back would be enormous. Before playing, perform a full-body warm-up that targets the pulled muscles, cramping, and injuries.
