What is Bondage?
By Mara Vale · Reviewed by Elena Ward · Last updated
Bondage is the consensual restraint of a partner with rope, cuffs or other means, creating a sense of helplessness and surrender.
Bondage in context
The appeal is as much mental as physical: stillness, exposure and having to trust the person in control. Real bondage needs safety knowledge about circulation and quick release.
In text roleplay the restraint is narrated, so you can explore elaborate ties and predicaments with no physical risk.
