Bondage Couple Lose Key to Padlock: One Tie That Really Binds

Posted Aug 5, 2008 by M Dee Dubroff

A German couple tied themselves up in chains, but lost the key to free themselves. They did not know that Houdini, the guy with the key to these things, has been dead a long time. Read on, but don’t turn red, even though these two certainly did.

It’s that old story about that plan ahead sign with that little “d” on the next line. For a German couple that forgot to check on things, the entire matter proved to be worthy of masked escape and reddened cheeks. Dressed in leathers, the couple, Jochen Ranstett, 56, and his wife, Maria, from the town of Welden, tied each other in chains to their bed for a little sexual romp and then lost the key to freedom…somehow.

According to news sources, after hours of trying to free themselves, the couple finally gave up and called for help on a mobile phone.

Jochen said:

"It was so embarrassing. We just wanted to try something a bit different and we ended up with this. I even had to be taken to hospital because my wrists had swollen so much from trying to get out of the handcuffs."

All is well that ends well. Still, one question lingers:

Where is that damn key?

The Shadow. He knows, but isn’t telling!
