Restraints

The most popular form of movement restriction during BDSM play is Bondage or restraint. Beginners to this lifestyle like to use restriction because it has a focusing effect on their partner who can't move during intercourse. It is also a safe way to play out your victim role-play fantasies because it allows the bottom to struggle without getting hurt.

Where normal bondage focuses on Symmetrical positions like the 'hogtie', where your wrists is tied to the matching ankle behind your back, Shibari is all about Asymmetric poses like the breast harness, crotch rope and body harness. Some other popular positions is the 'baltie' where you knees are drawn up to the chest and wrist are bound to ankles; the spread eagle where you have to keep the limbs straight out and fastened them at wrist and ankles to an object like the bed or a door; the simple restraint – tying the hands together in front or behind with rope or leather and last the over-arm tie – take arms over the head and fasten wrists, strap tied up arms to waist.
