I was going to encourage this, however, its not the fire risk, its something else.

For whatever reason, if the police come to your door, and hear music with the occasional sob, how do you, Mr. Roommate, explain the woman chained to the bed?

I am normally all for this kind of poo poo, but being responsible, especially solely responsible if poo poo goes down? Don't be there if he isn't.

Also, call the police for giggles while you arn't home.

edit: The above poster is terrible and no, being into any BDSM doesn't make you anything. Being bad at BDSM is what makes you bad, like anything else. Like being a bad poster, like the poster above.

People are loving weird. If people do loving weird stuff in a safe, sane and consensual way, why would they need help?

The OPs flatmate is an asshat. That doesn't mean everyone into the same things as him is. And this is coming from someone close enough to vanilla on the spectrum that I've never even had or caused a bruise the morning after sex.

They've done some stuff before but it's not like he tells us much about it. I know she keeps a dog cage at her place that she gets in when he comes over there. As for Mike himself, he's not dumpy or anything, but he's got a (mild) stutter which he's kinda upset about. I didn't ask about the food/toilet break logistics.

The more you tell us about them, the worse this idea seems. Plenty of others have covered how this can go wrong in different emergencies, so I'll add: what about everyday ways this can go wrong? Like, how is she going to tell friends/family/coworkers/[any other people who might need to get hold of her], "Hey, I won't be able to reply to texts, calls, emails or letters for 2.5 days due to being in crappy handcuffs"? Things like that.

Talking to Mike is going to be uncomfortable, but don't put it off. Talk to James about why this is a stupid and dangerous idea so he's on the same wavelength, then the two of you go press that upon Mike. Let him know that it's not about him wanting to do bondage, but rather that he wants to go about it in an incredibly unsafe way. Get the ball rolling now -- if he doesn't agree at first, after a few days it should sink in.

I don't think anyone would be surprised if she said something like that. She wears a collar that would be hard to pass off as something not indended for a dog, and sometimes Mike has led her around on leash in public (just going around in town doing normal stuff, shopping and so on).

I share an apartment with two other people, Mike and James. For the past year everything has been going great. We all get along fine, have similar interests and personalities, and we've been dividing the housework fairly between us.

This is my favorite part of this thread. The very very beginning. The sort of desperate, implicit logic on OP's part. The faintest of hopes that if he just gets out there that 'they fairly divide up the housework' then maybe he'll have convinced himself and us that this isn't actually a huge goddamned problem and that he won't have to assert himself like an adult human being.

Pretty soon. I don't really have a back up plan, except just be clear about how I feel and make sure to get James on my side.

As for how they met it's sort of embarrassing, but she's the younger sister of Mike's (former) A.A sponsor.

Former, sponsor? Did he get mad and cut off him after he found out he was dog caging his sister?




Ohhh boy this girl's issues, I have no idea where to even begin with any of this. Like any of this.

He doesn't touch alcohol anymore, nor does he smoke, no caffeine and he's vegetarian. I think that's basically straight edge, except he doesn't listen to punk or whatever.

Well, I don't know if he's actually going to loop Beethovens fifth or if he's going to put on a playlist or what the plan is. It was just an example since it was the first piece of classical music I could think of and he's really into Beethoven.

When you talk with him (and "pretty soon" had better be "the first time I can get us three roomies together asap", which I hope is tonight), discuss all the possibilities for danger, not just your feelings. Blaring Beethoven for two-and-a-half days sucks on its own, but he's pairing it with a good chance of serious injury. Him going away for long stretches unfairly involves you and James. And maybe tell him this sounds like the scenario for a murder.
Edit: I mean that locking up a lady with music blaring that covers up any noises sounds like something they'd recount on a true crime show, and I don't mean you should imply you're going to stab Mike.

Man, and I hate it when i see mom's lead their toddlers around with those leash things that are artfully shaped like a monkey or whatever.

e: when he's leaving be sure to set out a dog bowl next to her and wink at the BF knowingly. Maybe say this is really hot or something. Perhaps he'll not want you sharing his/her 'moment' and stop.

I've so known this exact type of girl before & this exact type of unhealthy & dangerously inept D/s relationship and trust me OP, you do not want in on that police report. They both sound like textbook examples of BDSM red flags & you should not be trusting either of them to carry out this deeply stupid plan.

This isn't really about sex, it's about dumb people making dangerous plans & then attempting to involve you in their dumb & dangerous plans. A Dom would NEVER tie a sub to a bed and leave, that is insane & dangerous. A crazy person who didn't care if his girlfriend lived or died, sure but not a Dom. What they are planning isn't a BDSM scene so don't feel like you're being prudish about their sex life, they might think it is but they are wrong & dumb & dangerously inept. They have clearly done zero research on safe BDSM play so do not trust any of their assurances that they know what they are doing because the fact they hatched this plan to begin with proves these are not people to trust to the details of a dangerous sex game. The whole "Mike will be popping in and out of the house during this time, leaving her alone for long stretches." says they haven't thought out the health or legal ramifications of their DEEPLY STUPID PLAN and they certainly haven't considered how it might effect anyone else in the apartment. Good roommates don't put you in this kind of position, you should not be having to worry about possible future kidnapping or wrongful death charges because your roommate can't spend 15 minutes googling how to safely satiate his unhealthy control fetish. Really can't stress enough how much I feel you should insist on Mike not going ahead with his plan at the apartment. Let him give his girlfriend yeast infections & dislocated shoulders in the privacy of her apartment, hotel room, van, abandoned shack, etc. and not involve you in what could be a very inconvenient visit from cops and/or paramedics.

Also, if this was some type of therapy for him wouldn't it make more sense for his gf to lock him in a trunk for a weekend & ask you guys to just ignore his crying & the blaring music while she fucks off for a few hours?

I like how busted this guys ideas of boundries and adult shared spaces is.

Also that you are even bothering your little head about it, rather than instantly saying "What? gently caress no and gently caress you for asking. No, you cannot leave your music or your slut or your cooking or your scrapbook project unattended and ask us to take up the slack. The gently caress is wrong with your brain?"

If his girlfriend is in the house, for any reason, tied up or not, he should goddamn well be there and be responsible. If he leaves, the girlfriend leaves with him. He should also invest in some headphones.
