Why do I enjoy fantasizing about being tied up in the hands of someone else?

I have been think about it since I Was a boy. It gives me a sense of calm and good feelings.

Not having access to your head or heart, I can’t say why. However, I’ve certainly heard that many humans like being restrained in loving, consensual ways (hugs, for instance), and that many humans enjoy all kinds of fantasies. Many cultures use swaddling to help calm infants, and it’s even trending in Japan for adults. IOW, you’re far from alone.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
