Bondage is the act of being bound – that is, being restrained so that the person’s movement is partially or completely restricted. In this context, bondage is enjoyed between consenting adults for the purposes of erotic and psychological fulfilment. It can be enjoyed on its own merits or as part of Dominance and submission role-play as part of a wider BDSM scenario.
Those bound put their trust in their ‘scene partner’ while they are in a vulnerable position and the one doing the binding enjoys this trusted role and the control over the one restricted. Together, consenting adults in BDSM can delight in exploring the heightened physical and mental sensations that bondage offers.

Firstly, the control aspect of having someone bound before you, or being bound for someone in control, is extremely exhilarating. Both parties actively consent, or course, and the trust and vulnerability aspects dial the psychological sensations up to 11 –and the physical reality of being bound can feel incredibly sexy, too.
Secondly, you might enjoy sex with a minor or major element of bondage. Having sex while bound adds a delicious naughtiness, a raunchy level of kink which can otherwise be difficult to achieve. Despite the mandatory consent in play, it can be enticing and evocative to writhe against the bonds during foreplay and sex –for both your partner’s visual and mental pleasure as well as your own. Moaning optional, but often encouraged.
When you’re in bondage you’re unable to stop the other person doing what they wish to you (aside from safing out, of course, we’ll get to that) and unable to touch yourself for whatever reason, including to stimulate yourself sexually. The tease and denial elements during foreplay, sex or a non-sexual contact BDSM session all come into play, ensuring that it’s a highly arousing (physically and psychologically) session for all involved.
