The appellation applied to this position is two-fold. First we deal with the arms, which are bound bent and raised, wrists crossed behind the subject's neck. The silhouette so formed irresistibly called to mind the establishments of one Mr. Hefner, of the colonies, and the famous symbol and uniform of the female members of staff there present. We therefore named the position 'bunny ears' partially in tribute to the achievements of that worthy's career.

The legs are here bound with a style which our illustrious rigger declared could well be likened to the classical Japanese form known as Futomomo; the addition of the rope around the opposite ankle pulling that same ankle to the subjects opposite, wrapped, thigh formed a triangular shape which one could barely fail to label with the classical Greek nomenclature of 'delta'. Hence, a bunny-ears, futomomo delta tie.

As with any position which removes the arms to the subject's rear, this position can very prettily be intensified and accessorised by the addition of nipple clamps, which seem to fit with the Bunny Ears pose uncommonly well.

Ariel says: "I'm sure that this looks nowhere near as tough as some of the other bondage positions we did during our Shibari experiment, but for me it was certainly one of the most painful - it certainly wouldn't be a position I'd choose for anything longterm. My arms pushed my head forward and it felt like a proper torture position after about 2 minutes! "
