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. Most experts on bondage would consider this an extremely dangerous variant.
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.
