Lotus tie
The lotus tie is a bondage position used in BDSM play.
In this tie, the lower legs are placed together but pointing in opposite directions, so that each foot is near the knee of the other leg. Two ropes are tied around the legs, each round one ankle and the other leg just below the knee. The legs are thus held in a triangle with the thighs spread wide apart. This permits easy access to the crotch if desired. Sometimes just one rope is tied, half-way between the knees and ankles, but this allows more movement of the legs and may be easier to escape from.
Alternatively, the ankles can be bound to the opposite thighs just above the knee, though most people find it painful to sustain such a position for long.
As this tie only immobilises the legs and not the arms, it is normally combined with some form of arm bondage such as elbow bondage. If the wrists are tied to the legs, it forms a stringent hogtie.
The name derives from its similarity to the lotus position in yoga.
