WHAT INFORMATION?
(Revised December 2006)Before the days of home computers I filled box files with magazine articles and pictures of men challenged, tied, captured or resisting capture.
Early in life my natural urges drove me to improvise with self-applied rope or straps - before graduating to Government surplus gear modified to make it efficiently restrictive in attempts to satisfy some still un-focussed needs - and I kept records of my 'experiments'.Later, meeting like-minded misfits, discussion sessions resulted in the first FETTERS 'Information Sheets' on topics such as bags-and-sacks, gags, chastity devices, boxes, cages, lockable clothes.
A lot of that accumulated information is now on this site - but INDEXING it remains problematical. I'm still working on it.
The various headings (left & below) are short-cuts to where stuff about related topics is gradually being grouped together. I've recently added a Search Engline (see end of this page) - but, until some friendly archivist or librarian advises me on how best to make a helpful Site Map - ENJOY EXPLORING.
