Bondage

Bondage is a human sexual activity in which a sense of pleasure is achieved by binding and other means of restraining the limbs. It is the most common behavior and the most typical activity of sadomasochistic activities. In sadomasochistic activities, the abuser uses rope, handcuffs, shackles, shackles, chains, and other paraphernalia to bind and tie up the abused person, causing the abused person to be unable to move freely, and then impose other items on the bound abused person.

Rope bondage techniques are diverse, in addition to simple binding wrists, there are more complex tying methods, the most commonly used are mainly Chinese five-flower binding, Japanese-style bondage and European-style bondage, etc., each of which has many kinds of tying methods. There are even techniques that have special names and teaching materials, and the bondage enthusiast community usually meets to hold events to exchange and discuss various bondage methods with each other.

Nowadays, sadomasochism is generally not carried out in other projects, but simply the implementation of bondage, the abuser and the abused dressed in ordinary clothes, and not exposed. Simply to exchange bondage techniques, to appreciate its artistic expression for the purpose, usually called "rope art", there are special rope photography studios around the world, to shoot and rope art related pictures, videos or film and television dramas. There are some sadomasochists because of security concerns or do not want to expose their own hobby, and the implementation of self-restraint, without the help of another person.

Restraints can be distinguished into six main types

Those that bind the body together (ropes, straps, leather straps)

Those that spread the body out (stretching crossbar, X-rigs)

Those that bind the body to other objects (chairs, poles)

Those that suspend a body part (hanging ties)

Those that restrict normal body movement (corset, handcuffs, harness)

Wrapping: the use of cloth or plastic products to wrap the entire body in a mummified form
