It sounds too much like that old urban legend. Something had gone awry, leaving a kinky couple to be discovered by the authorities. If it seems unfamiliar, it was the rumored tale of a man in a Batman suit and his failed efforts to save his wife who had been tied to the bed-frame. In an attempt to make a death-defying and ravishing rescue, the man jumped from the dresser to the bed. Unfortunately, he hit his head on the ceiling fan mid air, knocking him out cold. And the woman, who remained tied to the bed and unable to free herself, called for help. As the story goes, a neighbor heard the screams and notified the police. The rest is up to the imagination.
Well, there was no man in a Batman suit this time, at least none that I'm aware of anyway. And I'm sure people still dress in Batman suits and safely role-play other characters all the time -- I sure do! But this incident only involved handcuffs, according to a short article in WebIndia123.com, an Indian Internet news channel.
An unidentified man and woman (no masks were involved) from Linz, Austria had to call the fire department after a kinky handcuff session. The couple didn't call the fire department to join them (which could've resulted in some intense orgasms for all), but rather to release the male half of the couple from the handcuffs. Apparently, the couple lost the keys and had spent several hours searching, and even had attempted to break the shackles off the man's wrists before they broke down and made the inopportune call.
Now those must be some high-grade handcuffs. I think all I keep around are Velcro with the fur liners. But still, they should have been able to do something more to get them off. And to think the woman had the man bound, not only literally, but also figuratively to her will. I don't know which is kinkier!
At any rate, once the fire department arrived, the authorities easily freed the man with the aid of bolt cutters. (Of course! Can't play with handcuffs without bolt cutters, unless you have the keys.) I can't even begin to imagine what those firefighters must have thought! Especially if our kinky friends were still undressed! Might this be the beginning of another urban legend loosely based on fact? I wonder if the authorities asked any explicit questions. Or did they do what most of us would do -- snicker? Though if I were the one in the compromising position, a sneer might empower me with superhuman strength necessary for breaking open shackles. However, I don't think I would've lost the keys to begin with, and if some guys in uniforms showed up, I would've wanted them to join in for a session before the unshackling! Which brings me to this point -- I remember reading somewhere, Freud probably, that we lose things because we want to. It's a subconscious wish.
Now that's a thought -- a subconscious wish to be rescued! Or were they more interested in being caught by someone in uniform? Granted this is only speculation, but it makes some amount of sense. Considering the prominence of sex clubs and dogging parks in Europe, I don't think the wish was to be caught or happened upon. The rescue wish seems to hold more water. Come on, they were using handcuffs -- a device that in and of itself conjures images of imprisonment. One wearing a pair of handcuffs desires rescue from someone or another. Now that only leaves open the question of uniform. Perhaps they forgot to buy one while they were out making their kinky purchase?
Nevertheless, playing with handcuffs is nothing new, but when regular folks happen upon a couple doing something other than the missionary position, things get a little controversial. This is why we should all keep a close inventory of our toys and sexual aids.
