Collars

Collars are also used in bondage and the effectiveness of using such an intimate restraint in a bondage scene should not be underestimated, as restraining the neck restrains the head, and the apparent seat of consciousness behind the eyes. As well as being very effective in holding the submissive immobile it also reinforces the subject's sense of helplessness and loss of control. Collars are often used in role-playing games involving humiliation because they have connotations of control and pet-like or animalistic status, especially when worn with a leash. They may also be useful during play as a physical tethering restraint.
