Leather Houses 101.10d Building a Lifestyle Bed side view bedrail6 viewsBuilding a Lifestyle Bed
Visualize the bottom bent over face down on the mattress. Top entry is from behind. Or visualize the bottom laying on the bed with legs off the side spread eagle and feet resting on the bedrail. Top is standing erect and tall as the magical measurement of boot to root subtracted from floor to sweet spot was where the iron bedrails holding the mattress are mounted. This brings up your mattress and foundation when the submissive is laying or bent across the bed to the root of either cock or strapon. It ensures leverage against the G-spot when playing with a female that's laying on the bed. Read my two writings regarding Building a Lifestyle Bed and the Magical Measurement

What is this additional factor to consider as you decide what size bed to build?

Leather Houses 101.14 Ladderback HdBd FtBd4 viewsLet your play emphasis influence your footboard design. In vanilla bed design the headboard is to focal point. In designing a lifestyle bed, the footboard is the focal point and a favorite style of play should influence it. If you like rope and bondage a design that will compliment that style of play is preferred over a style that would compliment impact play. A simple ladderback provides multiple attachment points and opportunities for single post ties. The footboard is heavy enough to support most suspensions.

Leather Houses 101.15 StAndrews Cross FtBd HdBd7 viewsThe most iconic piece of dungeon equipment that symbolizes leather is possibly the St. Andrew's Cross. Why not incorporate a St. Andrew's Cross into the footboard of the lifestyle bed as you build it? The headboard, while not a functioning piece of dungeon equipment would mirror the footboard design having a small St. Andrew's cross made out of 2"x4", while the footboard cross is made with a 2"x6" or even a 2"x8".

Leather Houses 101.16 A Frame FtBd HdBd8 viewsFor those who want a lifestyle bed, love impact play but because of children or vanilla relatives want to be a little bit more discrete than the St. Andrews cross design, consider building an A Frame footboard. The A frame is formed by two 2x6" boards with the 2x8" mattress rail forming the cross member of the letter A shape. A triangle is one of the strongest geometric shapes so for suspension off of this style of footboard it certainly will support most rigging.

Leather Houses 101.17 Magical Measurement 29 viewsMagical Measurement What the Heck is it REALLY For?
The previous video 101.12 on this topic talked in code, for those who need it in plain English here it is. For male/female play it is all about leveraging the appendage against the G-Spot. For female/female play using a strap-on same purpose. There are advantages for male/male and female/male play but they aren't quite as magical.

Often leading a leather house involves behavior modification. Sometimes not so subtle and sometimes subtle. Often leading by example is a cornerstone of leadership of any type. Just as water flows from a pitcher.
