Bondage is a sadomasochist practice that consists in restraining a sex
partner in order to caress and induce sexual relation. For such immobilization
are employed ropes, cuffs and socks, depending on what sex partners
are up to. In bondage, the idea is to have a role sexually dominant
and a submissive one.
In bondage, both partners derive pleasure, which is related to the
sensation of being subdued by or dominate another person. By the rule
of thumb, there's agreement set by the couple for neither of them
to get any kind of injuries during sex even so there's gestures and
jargon to tell the dominant role that is time to call it off.
There's who practices bondage with a fixed partner-spouse, girlfriend,
as there's who practices it with non-fixed partner. No data is available
to tell which one is practiced most, but it's known that sites are
there for this sexual intent as well as chat rooms for the same reason
and functioning rooms where adepts can have sex with ropes, slings
and attire available purposely.
Before considering bondage as perversion, we should think that each
one knows what likes and dislikes in bed and in principle there's
no harm as such in the practice of bondage. There could be said that
bondage is a way of spicing up a sexual relation likewise the multitude
of sex positions of Kama Sutra or the likes.
What shouldn't be forgotten is that exist sadism and masochism, and
the bondage practice might be underlying some sexual disorder more
serious. There should be a fine line drawn between sexual practice
and sexual disorder.
Sex means caress exchange between two people in which the main goal
is to obtain sexual pleasure. The means employed are many, but if
those means produce any psychic or physical distress for either of
them, we should think of disorder.
And suffering can be regarded as failure in pleasure inducement in
sex other than subjecting or being subjected or even spending a significant
amount of time conceiving ways of carrying on bondage.
It's likely to be thought that whoever practices bondage lies low.
It's known that prejudice exists, but also it's known that there's
for some people curiosity.
If there's curiosity in bondage practices, and if there's someone
keen on it, the natural approach is the fulfillment of desire. There
might take a little longer, lacking of courage one might end up feeling
self-conscious for bondage practices, but it's down to each one of
us to know that, much as in any given sexual practice.
