Bondage is the practice of restraining a partner for sexual stimulation. Usually it is done with a rope, cuffs or bondage tape.

The reason why us humans seem to enjoy it is because some of us get pleasure from a restrained sexual partner. That feeling of the ability to control and use power over the tied up partner derives sexual pleasure. The restrained partner can also feel erotic due to the helplessness that he/she feels.

There is also the effect of aesthetic pleasure from seeing your partner all tied up.

Bondage is very common among couples who sometimes use it to experiment or spice up their sex life. It brings a whole new dimension to the bedroom. It can be a relationship affirming activity. It is also a game of trust between the partners.

Leather and latex costumes are commonly used in bondage as it seems to increase the aesthetic effect. Also the material offers flexibility and is not easy to tear. The sounds of both leather and latex adds to the sensation.

One of the main sexual pleasure derives from the fact that the restrained partner has to wait for their other to perform sexual actions on them. The control of what is done is completely up to the other one.

Some people who love dominating their partner will really feel greater sexual stimulation from bondage.

In a study by psychologists, men were more interested in bondage style sexual activities than women. 76% of men agreed to do it while only 18% of women said they were willing to try it. Bondage seemed to me psychologically more acceptable for partners who loved dominating.

It is also interesting to note than 46% of bisexual men had an interest to try bondage play.

Safety: Always perform bondage sex with trusted partners. Talk to your partner on what he/she would do and what you would not want to do when you are immobilized. Try to have softer materials to tie yourself up first such as paper cloth/ soft cotton cloths. Bondage sex has its risks. Take care during play.
