Hogtying is a method of tying the limbs together, rendering the 'hogtied' person or animal immobile. Originally, it was used for pigs (hence the name); now it can also be applied to human sexual bondage and a method for subduing individuals sometimes employed by the police. It applies figuratively to an instance where a person has said or done something which has unpleasant consequences, and from which they are unable to escape.
The hogtie, in the practice of sexual bondage, typically has the person who is being tied lie down flat on the belly, with the ankles and wrists tied together behind the back of the person. The hogtie used on pigs and cattle has the limbs tied in front.
There is a significant risk of postural asphyxia in this position, in addition to the normal risks of restraint. In addition, tying anything around the neck has a high risk of death from strangulation.
The victim can also be on his or her back. This can get uncomfortable after a while. Most people can turn over onto their front while hogtied, but if they are on a narrow sofa or bed, there is a danger of falling off, especially if they are blindfolded so cannot see what they are doing.
The victim might be left in a kneeling position. It is not very difficult to get into a lying down position (on front, back or side), but it may be almost impossible to return to a kneeling position if the person is tied correctly.
The hogtie is particularly stringent if the wrists are forced to touch the ankles, not just joined with a rope as in the picture. Often, the elbows and knees will be tied together as well. Forcing the elbows together too much carries a risk of dislocating the shoulders.
A variation of the hogtie can be used torture to and kill its victim: the hands are tied behind the back and the feet are tied together, with one end of the rope around the victim's neck. The tension on the neck-rope can only be relieved if the victim keeps the neck, back and legs arched; eventually, the victim tires and strangles. This is sometimes referred to as the "Italian rope trick" and has been used by the Mafia.
