Arms

Arm bondage involves restraining the arms using rope, cuffs, leather straps, or other materials. Common positions include behind the back, above the head, or spread apart and fixed to something stable.

This fundamental form of restraint effectively limits mobility while being relatively simple to implement. The restriction of arm movement creates a sense of helplessness that many find psychologically arousing, while leaving other body parts accessible for play. For beginners, padded cuffs offer comfort and quick-release options.

About the category Bondage

Bondage involves consensually restricting a partner's movement using rope, cuffs, restraints, other materials, or even just mental (by command/suggestion). This practice can range from simple wrist ties to elaborate full-body harnesses and suspension.

The appeal lies in the physical sensation of restraint, the visual aesthetic, the psychological elements of surrender and control, and the heightened sensations that often come with restricted movement. Safety considerations include maintaining circulation, having emergency release methods, avoiding nerve pressure points, and regular check-ins with the restrained person.

Bondage can be practiced as a standalone activity or combined with other forms of play, making it one of the most versatile and common elements in BDSM.
