The hogtie, in the practice of sexual bondage for which it is most commonly known, 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; it is not possible to tie them behind without harming the animal.

The hogtie position in itself is particularly stringent as it places pressure on the abdomen, which might create difficulty in breathing.

A more flexible person may also add other bondage techniques such as ], ], and ]s.

The classic hogtie position (pictured above) has the wrists bound together then tied to the ankles. Depending on the person, this may be neither a particularly stringent nor an inescapable position. This method leaves the opportunity for the tied person to free themselves of the hogtie, as they are able to reach any of the knots with their fingers.

A variation to the hogtie (pictures right) is to tie the ankles to suitably tied ]. Depending on how close the ankles are drawn towards the elbow ropes, this can greatly increase the amount of tension that can be placed on the body, as well as leaving the knots controlling the position well out of reach of the person bound.

The tied person 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 best position for relieving the tension on the body while in a hogtie is to roll onto one's side. However, if the position is sufficiently stringent, the bound person may not be able to roll themselves onto their side at all.

The victim might be left in a kneeling position (pictured) with their feet off the ground. 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. A person may also be tied into this position using ropes tied to the ceiling securing them in place. This leaves the person balanced on their knees in a very difficult position to maintain.

A suspended hogtie is the ultimate form of inescapable hogtie. This method of ] can take two forms. The first method starts with a conventional rope based hogtie, then by placing extra ropes around the upper body above and below the breasts as well as around the folded legs, these ropes can be used to lift the person into the air. Ropes can be placed in different areas to reduce the strain on the body being lifted in this manner.

The second method is far simpler, but has much greater risk of dislocation of the arms. The person may be tied with rope, but to reduce strain on the wrists and ankles suspension cuffs may be used. With the person lying on their stomach, their wrists and ankles are bound together, then from this point to the suspension line. When lifted, the person is suspended with their arms and legs behind them with all their weight taken by the wrists and ankles. While this position is completly inescapable, it is also a very stringent and painful position and can easily lead to serious injury if not practised correctly.

==Use in torture==

A particularly dangerous variation of the hogtie has been used to torture 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 their 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 ].

Physical restraint by tying the limbs together "Hog tied" redirects here. For the song by Anthrax, see Volume 8: The Threat Is Real.
A calf hogtied while being branded on a ranch.

The hogtie is a method of tying the limbs together, rendering the subject immobile and helpless. Originally, it was applied to pigs (hence the name) and other young four-legged animals.

Agriculture uses

The hogtie when used on pigs and cattle has it where three of the four limbs are tied together, as tying all four together is difficult and can result in harm to the animal.

Human uses

When performed on a human, a hogtie is any position that results in the arms and legs being bound, both tied behind the person and then connecting the hands and feet. The practice has been called inhumane.

Typically, the person's feet are restrained with legcuffs or similar devices, and handcuffed with the hands behind the back. The feet are pulled behind the person, until the hands and feet can be connected. (The head and neck are left free.) The restrained person is then placed on the stomach, in a face-down prone position, which decreases the risk of the restrained person kicking nearby people or objects, or hurting themselves by pounding their heads against nearby objects, but which also increases the risk of positional restraint asphyxia (a restraint-specific form of positional asphyxia).

Hogtying, also called the prone maximal restraint position or the hobble position, may make it somewhat more difficult for some people to breathe, especially after physical activity. Frequently, hog-tying has been performed on a person who has been violently resisting. Various mechanisms for sudden death while hogtied have been proposed, ranging from changes in chest movement from being handcuffed, to drug use, to pre-existing medical conditions such as obesity or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, to police and medical personnel using their body weight to compress both the chest and abdomen in the process of applying the restraint devices. Concerns about the restrained person dying have led to many US police departments discontinuing the practice of hogtying people.
