Bondage, confinement, total encasement. I didn’t expect the sand burial story to have such resonance, but I got quite a few emails from guys telling me how hot the story was and how much they’d love to be buried in sand with only their head sticking out. One guy, who actually had the experience, sent me a message about it on Recon; that was followed by a chat, the substance of which I post here with his permission. His handle on Recon is Bndgrunt.
Bndgrunt: I've been enjoying a chance to revisit some favorite B&G spreads on your blog. Re: "Sand Trap"—been there, done that. Being buried is a real thrill for me. On a public beach, to an onlooker you and your buddies are just horsing around, but you know you're having a naughty adventure.
BW: When it happened to you, were your hands tied?
Bndgrunt: My hands were not tied; I had a bit of claustrophobia trying to dig out, getting one of my arms stuck in a contorted position. Having my hands tied would have perversely been a relief. Maybe next time they will be, and I'll have no choice but to stay put and bake.
BW: But you did manage to dig out?
Bndgrunt: That particular time, no. Once my arm was stuck, I needed help to dig out. I've been buried other times and managed to extricate myself.
BW: How many other times?
Bndgrunt: Four or five. Once as a teenager, then again as an adult as horseplay. I've got a play bud with access to a semi-private beach. It's something we both look forward to now.
BW: Do you dig the holes, or does he make you do it? Or do bury each other and do you dig together?
Bndgrunt: We both dig the hole—switching off, taking turns.
BW: How long does it take to dig a hole to accommodate a guy your size?
Bndgrunt: It does not take that long—about an hour to dig a hole deep enough a plant a guy kneeling or sitting. Something my buddy did was to bury me partially, pour water on the sand, add sand, then more water, etc. I was hoping for the feeling of total encasement, but was still able to move somewhat. I’ve never been buried standing up, though that would be very hot.
BW: Too bad, but I can see how that would require a deep hole.
Bndgrunt: I agree—I would like to be buried standing, either hands tied behind or at least starting at parade rest.
BW: As deep as you were buried, what was the feeling like?
Bndgrunt: At first, just being buried, arms at my sides, it was relaxing and arousing at the same time—I liked the feeling of pressure as I breathed, feeling the sand against my bare chest. I was surprised at how much chest expansion there was just breathing, without exertion. Once I started to struggle, and the demand for O2 increased, it felt a little too confining. I'd have to take a break just to catch my breath. I was able to move one of my arms, and as I was making progress, my buddy added sand to the side of my body where I was making progress. As I said before, that arm became contorted, at which time some anxiety kicked in. If my buddy hadn’t cheated, I probably would have managed to dig out on my own.
BW: I can see it getting scary if the sand really packs in. So you’ve never done it as part of a “scene”?
Bndgrunt: When we do it, it’s not a scene per se, ie, POW or what not. We're buddies horsing around. It would be fun to get a couple of guys buried, racing to dig out, like any other escape challenge.
BW: Do you think it would be harder to dig free from a full standing position (always assuming the hands weren't tied)?
Bndgrunt: No. I think it'd be easier. If you're kneeling, feet out behind you, you have to clear some of that sand away from your back and off your legs to slide them out. Standing, once I freed my arms and cleared some of the sand off of the top of my body, I imagine it'd be like doing a dip, using my upper body to push up and off the sand. Maybe I'd be able to move my feet, making little kicks like a swimmer. I'm intrigued to find out.
BW: Let me know when you do.
Bndgrunt: Interestingly enough, while I consider the burial thing my most esoteric fetish, it's also most cited when people compliment my profile.
So, obviously, the idea turns a lot of guys on. Have any others of you out there actually had the experience (or a similar one)? Tell me about it.
