The original story is well outside the range of 'achievable reality' aimed for in all other Bondage Reader fiction on this site. However, besides being a hot jerk-off fantasy with many twists to the plot, there's a lot of know-how about the physical realities of efficient restraint techniques and mind-games to be gained from the text.

When British Police Chief Inspector Dan Drummond is 'snatched' during an undercover operation he is subjected to deliberately punishing confinement and sensory deprivation.
The intensity of the treatment has serious emotional repercussions.

EXTRA TOPIC = Tailoring sensually charged fetish fiction to satisfy personal preferences more fully, is a subject worth kicking around on this site.

The original story, written by an author who enjoys his own brand of wrapping and strapping, appears here modified by another writer (me) with the full permission of the original author.

The ethics of editing someone else's story so it more closely fits in with a reader's personal tastes is explored in the Introduction:

TURN-ONS & TURN-OFFS

What's in it for you
Reading erotic fiction is a chancy business. How soon into a story can you tell if the author is on your wavelength? Any publisher knows that a good title, cover design and punchy sales blurb can help get a book into a reader's hands. But, particularly in terms of erotic subject matter, if the reader's personal preferences do not precisely match those of the author, this can lead to frustration - or a stimulating exercise in creative imagination. You, the reader can, by imagining changes you'd make to storyline or characters, shut the book and mentally drive the action in a direction more likely to get your juices flowing. Alternatively, you can read the story right through before imagining your chosen alternative version and get off on it as often as you like.
When the author of this story started writing it - the aim was to push the buttons of one particular individual (and, of course, his own during the writing process). The content was chosen to appeal to specific known sexual/sensual preferences. After showing the first sequence to several like-minded kinkheads, the basic scenario was then broadened by adding elements which he knew would appeal to several other personal acquaintances.

What's in it for me
By the time the story was shown to me, it was already 15,000 words long - and a lot of it immediately fired up my boilers. However, certain elements and images in the story cut across my personal likes-and-dislikes enough to be distracting. So, at first I mentally edited them out - and then, because it was an electronic file, began a process of physically replacing what jarred for me. This may sound presumptuous (if not bloody rude!), but when it comes to sexual stimulation, we all know that it's the subtle nuances which really make the difference. As in cooking, the same basic ingredients can result in different flavoured dishes, depending on addition of various little 'extras', or exclusions.
Happily, with the Author's agreement, I spent a lot of highly stimulating hours imagining his two excellent characters and core scenario into a piece of text which will allow me to get off on it during many re-readings in the future.

This version of the 15000 word original story is now 38,000 words long - and I'm delighted that the Derek Arnold has agreed that other readers should be allowed to see my 'take' on his story.
Enjoy it for what's in it for you. (Jim Stewart August 2003)

The mind-altering effects of encasement in rubber is evoked in convincing detail by an author who has experienced many hours in such a predicament.
Following this, two long sequences describe first the physical and mental effects of a severely uncomfortable rope tie and then forced strait-jacketing. In all cases, the physical circumstances as described are vividly authentic.

On a psychological level, this hot and horny fiction makes some interesting comments on the subject of homo-masculine fantasies and perceptions of sexual identity. Serious questions about response to captivity and prolonged physical / mental stress are explored on an unusually high level of realism. Informative but hot reading.

A range of topics are expanded on in graphic detail.
