The consensual experience of erotic captivity, and physical helplessness.

Bondage typically involves the physical restraint of a submissive: tying them up with something as soft as silk, or as hard as handcuffs. The submissive experiences sexual gratification by relinquishing control, sometimes while being spanked, whipped, or denied orgasm: a process known as “bondage and discipline.” A key note here is that bondage doesn’t just happen – very often, it’s negotiated ahead of time, to determine props, techniques, and safewords. A bound person should never be left unattended, and should be constantly monitored for breathing and circulation – and a professional “dom” (dominant) is well-versed in safe practices.
