#Bondage

Bondage is the consensual art of restraint — rope, cuffs, or ties that limit movement and heighten trust, sensation, and surrender.

What is Bondage?

Bondage is restraint as play: wrists tied, arms bound, a body held in place. For the person restrained it can mean letting go — no decisions to make, nothing to do but feel. For the person tying, it's control, care, and craft.

It spans quick and simple (a scarf, a pair of cuffs) to technical rope work like shibari. Aesthetics matter to a lot of people too: the lines of the rope, the tension, the pose.

Circulation and nerves are the real risks, so knowledgeable players keep safety shears close and never leave someone tied alone. Browse the community's #bondage posts below and rate how far each one goes.

Everything here is between consenting adults (18+). Negotiate limits, use a safeword, and prioritize aftercare.

Bondage — FAQ

What’s the difference between bondage and shibari?

Shibari (or kinbaku) is a Japanese-rooted rope style prized for its patterns and aesthetics. Bondage is the broader category — any consensual restraint, rope or otherwise.

Is bondage dangerous?

Done carelessly it can pinch nerves or cut circulation. Experienced players use quick-release ties, keep shears handy, check in often, and never leave a bound partner unattended.
