Page "Ball tie" Paragraph 2

The hands may be tied either in front or behind the back, however behind the back is more typical.

If behind, there may also be elbow bondage, or the arms may be in a reverse prayer position, with ropes round the arms and torso ( or arms and legs ) to hold the arms firmly against the back.

If in front, the arms may be tied hugging the legs, or possibly with each wrist bound to the opposite elbow.

The ankles may also be tied together, as well as the knees.

Typically the ankles are tied to the thighs in a Frogtie, unlike the image at right.
