Deep Body Pressure

Post Reply New Topic

I feel like I'm alone on this one, and this may not be entirely related, but I like the feeling of being tied up, and have been tying myself up since I was about 10 years old. Being tightly restrained and struggling against it is the best feeling in the world to me. It's been kind of an obsession since I can remember. I've been known to go to a psych hospital or ER with the specific intention of getting put in restraints. Those are the times when I'm having a meltdown and rapidly losing control of myself, and it makes me feel safe knowing I won't hurt myself. Yeah, I'm weird, I know.

I recently found that wearing ankle weights seems to calm me down and give me more confidence, as well as walk on my heels instead of on my toes like I usually do. I even wear them while I sleep. I'd really like to try a weighted vest and blanket. I think that would help with my anxiety. I've also had a thing for lifejackets I can remember since about age 7. The more straps, the better.

EDIT: I really needed to get that off my chest, it's something that I've spent a lot of time hiding. Hope it didn't weird anyone out too much.

I didn't vote in the poll because I fit in all the options.

From someone I don't know well - I'm a "no means no" person. It gets better the better I know them. It's basically only relationship partners that I like getting deep-pressure hugs from. My last GF was particularly fond of it herself, so that worked out pretty well.

Even from my own mother, who I am close to, I don't particularly enjoy physical contact. Some people I'm close to, I like physical contact with, and others, I don't. Relationship partners I'm ok with pretty much any contact though.

I don't like deep pressure. It is painful and scary. I like to be touched very gently and lightly.

I love deep pressure, but also do not mind light touch...it just can't be concentrated touch, like poking, tickling, squeezing with hands, etc. I only like broad touch, so, for instance, would prefer to be punched in the arm rather than poked (although, my upper arms are super sensitive, so maybe a better example would be my back).

I used to have my sister stand on me when I was little. I also used to sit on my hands or push them down between the sofa cushions.

Only in certian places such as my back and joints. Every chiropracter I have ever been to always comments on how they wish all their paitents were as relaxed as I am.

I love hugs, as tight as they can get. But massage... that's something I've always hated (and still do).

Does anyone have any tips on how to achieve this without spending money, or without another person.
I can't get weighted blankets or a squeeze machine. Maybe someone has some tricks, pillows seem a bit light.

Yeah I absolutely need deep pressure. I love the pressure from a wetsuit. (anyone else)
I actually have one of these,

Don't get to use it much but when my wife does put me it it I can spend hours this way and it feels like minutes. Its not even sexual for me, though it gets the wife going.. so sometime we make love afterwards, just a bonus.. helps that I come out relaxed and calm. I don't think my wife understood when I always asked her to lace it tighter each time... Now I think she has a better idea. I want one of the inflatable rubber sleepsacks too. you can get them in canvas and spandex too. whatever floats your boat.

i love being squeezed with hugs. it feels very good.

I love deep pressure, especially bear hugs, which are easy to get since most of the people I know are a lot bigger than me (I'm 4'11 and 85 lbs), but I only like it if it's someone I know well, I would not tolerate getting massaged by a stranger, and I hate the whole weird "hey we haven't seen each other in ten years but we're going to hug like we're still best friends" thing. I still sleep with stuffed animals because I have to squeeze something and put pressure on my chest or I can't sleep. I absolutely can't stand light feathery touch, if somebody brushes past me or nudges me it agitates me so much I want to punch them in the face. My sister did that to me last night and I freaked out and snapped at her "Don't touch me!" She knows me well enough by now to keep her hands to herself!

I like having weight on my sides and torso, but I cannot tolerate human touch, so a big, emphatic "no!" to hugs. I like to wear a flak vest but I obviously cannot do that in public (people would think I'm a terrorist or something rediculous), so I generally will wear a concealable bullet-proof vest (you really have to look hard to notice it), though the sensation is not quite the same. If I desire additional weight, I will place ammo boxes (with heavy things inside) on my torso and against my sides. I have even built a room in my house for me to lock myself in and do this uninterrupted.
