When you meet a person and one of the first things they tell you is that they like to be restrained during sex, anyone would remember that.
Surely everyone he knew had considered chaining him up at some point.
And that was even though they didn’t see those damn hand cuffs every day. It had to be deliberate that the cuffs still hung in the living area. He wasn’t that neat but he was able to conceal things.

Admittedly they might not have fed him bites of warm cookie as he hung there, suspended.
