Virtual Suspension Sessions: Guiding Rigging and Suspensions Over Video Call with Tetruss

Long-distance relationships no longer mean long-distance kink. A Tetruss rig on the submissive’s end plus stable video creates shockingly effective virtual suspension sessions and experiences.

Camera placement is everything: one wide shot showing the full rig, one close-up on the face and chest for color monitoring, overhead GoPro for knot integrity. Use a Bluetooth pulse oximeter that displays on screen for objective data.

The dominant directs tie placement and tension while the sub executes — essentially turning the sub into a self-rigging proxy. Panic releases and trauma shears must be pre-arranged and visible. Many pairs use a timed safe-word screen overlay that ends the call if not dismissed every ten minutes.

Tetruss’s consistent geometry means the dominant can say “attach the green carabiner to the third hole on the left leg” and know exactly where that is, no calibration needed. Recorded virtual suspension sessions become powerful training tools for later in-person play.

Psychological intensity often exceeds local sessions because anticipation builds over days. Several pro-dommes now offer premium virtual suspension sessions using client-purchased Tetruss rigs as a high-ticket recurring service.
