One of the most desired fetish among BDSM enthusiasts, bondage is more than just sexual gratification. Bondage is one of those rare fetishes that have a lot aspects for a domme and submissive to experiment with. It has many emotional aspects and fulfills you in ways you can’t imagine. Being restrained can be a cause for an adrenaline rush, being blindfolded can heighten other senses in your body and bondage, in general, helps you shun the society’s expectations of you regarding sex and intimacy. In simple terms, bondage is a way to break free from social norms!

Bondage simply is a means of erotic play in which a dominating partner restrains his or her submissive partner in a BDSM relationship. Being a submissive is all about placing your power in someone else’s hand and bondage greatly enhances the power play between a domme and a submissive.

Power Shift
The feeling of a stronger submissive rendered helpless by being restrained by his dominatrix turns many on. Your submissive may be a CEO of a top organization, he may be physically stronger than you but when he is restrained by a domme a power shift takes places which creates a great deal of emotional and sensual charge among both the domme and submissive. If there is one reason you’re looking to introduce bondage into your BDSM relationship, this should be it. Bondage is not something to be afraid of, it is extremely unique and powerful for both partners.

Breaking Free
Almost all of us are brought up with certain defined rules in mind. Rules and norms defined by the society which we are not expected to go against. Gender roles are becoming lesser and lesser effective by the day, but are still somehow in place. When a male submissive is restrained by his dominatrix, both of them are freeing themselves from society’s norms.

Eroticism
Bondage, of course, does have certain erotic effects. Being tied up can increase blood flow to certain parts due to pressure inflicted upon them which increases their ability to sense touch. Bondage knot positions are themselves stimulating and you can explore knot positions with your submissive which work for him.

Meditation
Believe it or not, bondage is a form of meditation if done right. Many involved in BDSM relationships say it is a means of de-stressing themselves from the anxiety of everyday routine. When bondage is consensual and you start picking the right spots/positions, bondage can be extremely relaxing and a great way to connect with your domme or submissive.

Submission
It goes without saying that submission and bondage go hand in hand. Bondage is a highly symbolic way of submitting to your domme. When restrained, a submissive is completely helpless and available to be dominated by his dominatrix at her will. Ropes and other restraining material can also make for great handles to move your submissive.

If you’re new at bondage, it is important to first discuss it with your partner. You should both learn about the misconceptions about bondage to bust any doubts either of you has regarding the art of bondage. Like any other BDSM activity, trust and communication should be an integral part of this process. You should choose positions carefully and keep things simple at first, slowly working towards situations your submissive finds challenging.
