Bondage!
The existing sexual practices are numerous and diverse, getting to know them little by little is very interesting. Today we have the virtue of valuing sexual freedom more and being less critical of what differentiates us. In this Sexual Dictionary article we will talk about Bondage, a sexual practice that has been normalized with exciting speed.
Since the literary (and then cinematic) phenomenon of 50 Shades of Gray was released, more and more people have begun to feel interested in discovering what it is all about. Whips, ropes and masks can be found in the bedrooms of many couples today, without this meaning that they are an active part of an alternative lifestyle; but rather they are people who want to explore their pleasure openly and without taboos, saying goodbye to many symbolic ties. And today, in our dictionary, we are going to talk to you about Bondage.
What is slavery?
The word Bondage itself refers to the word "bondage." However, in the field of sexuality it refers to the act of immobilizing someone during a sexual encounter, although it can also be done for erotic purposes, without this implying the sexual act per se. Many people can gain pleasure through restraint or the act of restraining someone. The objects used for this purpose are varied and range from ropes to handcuffs, with a large number of elements being useful for this purpose.
Bondage is not limited to simply tying a person's limbs, legs or hands, it can also be secured to structures that hold them in certain particular positions. A tied person can even be suspended in the air to achieve certain complex or more relaxed positions, both for sexual, erotic and aesthetic purposes.
It is also possible that objects that enhance pleasure more, such as sex toys, are used during immobilization. You can even add elements that suppress some sense, such as a mask to block sight or headphones to block hearing.
Bondage is part of a set of practices known by its acronym as BDSM (Bondage. Domination. Submission/Sadism. Masochism). This set in itself is even considered an alternative lifestyle in which the people who share it carry out a large number of alternative practices; However, this is a very broad term. We will try, as we develop the dictionary of sexual terms, to break down the terms that make up these four acronyms and the practices they entail.
Due to the large number of movies, books and series with BDSM themes, more and more people are discovering practices such as Bondage. This way they can explore their sexuality more intensely, find things they like or don't like, and explore a world that can't always be seen with the naked eye.
Shame out!
Playing and assuming roles is very exciting. Bondage allows you to explore unknown aspects of your partner and it is important to leave shame aside. As long as there is discretion and trust, you can stimulate little-explored areas, use toys and sensory accessories, even deprive your lover of vision or mobility so that you both get more pleasure.
Use toys and accessories to increase pleasure
Ropes, metal or leather handcuffs, riding crops and gags are the classic elements of bondage practice and come in thousands of shapes, sizes and materials.
In addition, you can add endless toys and accessories to practice bondage. From penis rings to vibrating anal plugs, lingerie and costumes, creams, lotions, lubricants, remote control toys... Everything you want to give or receive pleasure.
Establish pain limits and/or safe words
Bondage practitioners agree that it will be a positive and stimulating experience as long as it adheres to SSC (sane, safe and consensual) standards. As mentioned before, it is recommended to carry out this practice in trust and mutual agreement. The basic security measures are to establish a keyword to signal that a pause is necessary or a limit has been reached. We always recommend talking in advance about the wishes and limitations that will be part of the meeting.

Handcuffs, ropes and straps are an essential element for the practice of bondage. Here we give you some ideas:
- Restrain Me
The fundamental article to get you started in the art of bondage. These wonderful ropes are made of silk and allow you to tie tightly without damaging the skin. They look great on the skin and have a suitable length to be easily manipulated.

The riding crops and whips serve to give it a very spicy touch, reaching almost indescribable levels of pleasure.

The most erotic and sensual touch: the masks and masks to give more play to bondage practices and remove shame from the body.
Easement risks
Each practice carries its own risks and it is very important to keep this in mind. Due to the nature of Bondage there is a danger factor that can be exciting or persuasive, depending on each person. Below we are going to describe some of the most common risks when practicing Bondage.
- skin lesions
Wounds or skin lesions are usually one of the most common injuries. It is common for the friction of some materials, and even pressure, to cause rosettes or bruises, leaving visible marks on the skin that can be very painful.
- muscle injuries
It is possible that when a tie is performed incorrectly, different types of muscle injuries and even nerve injuries can occur. Depending on how tight the restraint is or what unnatural position they place your body in during the restraint, it may be more severe or simply non-existent. The severity of injuries may depend on how long the restraint is maintained. For this reason, it is always advisable to have scissors (in case ropes are used). One of the most common symptoms that a tie is poorly done is the presence of numbness, pain or tingling in the area where it was done. This can cause a loss of motor function or more serious damage, even requiring medical intervention in some cases.
- Suffocation
Strangulation or suffocation is a real danger and should be taken very seriously, especially when it involves restraints near the neck. Even some position where pressure is placed on the chest or neck can cause suffocation, especially if a gag is used.
Although Bondage can be very exciting, all sexual practices must be carried out responsibly to avoid serious accidents. And, as we have seen, there can be real dangers when practicing Bondage, so carrying out certain safety measures is very important so that the well-being of all those involved is possible and the pleasure is not interrupted by a bad experience. . Because the purpose of all these practices is to have a good time, not an unpleasant experience, therefore it is recommended that the following be taken into account:
- Avoid this type of practice with strangers or people who do not convey trust in you.
- Talk about it in advance to make your desires known and discover your sexual partner's opinion.
- Plan ahead to avoid accidents or disagreements.
- Being left alone while immobilized is a great risk, do not allow yourself to be left alone; And, if you are the one who immobilizes the person, never leave them alone.
- Refuse to have any ties around the neck, especially if the person performing the ties is a beginner.
- The consumption of drugs or alcohol when carrying out this type of practice is a big NO.
- Be sure to pay attention to the body's reaction during immobilization. Signs such as difficulty breathing, numbness in parts of the body or tingling due to difficult blood flow are something that must be corrected immediately.
It is important that if something goes wrong, the restrictions can be removed in the shortest possible time. Have scissors on hand for the ribbons or ropes, or the keys for the handcuffs.
Don't try to imitate everything you see on TV. Many ties require experience, skill and precautions, so it is better to start with simple ties and learn as you go.
Verbalize any discomfort or pain immediately, as it is possible that the discomfort, instead of passing quickly, will get worse.
