Sexuality and erotica are an important aspect in bondage, but are often not the end in itself. The letter 'B' in the acronym 'BDSM' comes from the word 'bondage'.
It may also be used as a part of sex or in conjunction with other BDSM activities. Bondage may be used as an end in itself, as in the case of rope bondage and breast bondage.
A partner may be physically restrained in a variety of ways, including the use of rope, cuffs, bondage tape, or self-adhering bandage.īondage itself does not necessarily imply sadomasochism.
Bondage, in the BDSM subculture, is the practice of consensually tying, binding, or restraining a partner for erotic, aesthetic, or somatosensory stimulation.
