Bondage is a practice often associated with BDSM, where one person is restrained or tied up for the purpose of enhancing pleasure or exploring power dynamics. It can involve various materials such as ropes, cuffs, or other restraints, and is typically consensual, with clear communication between participants about boundaries and safety. Safety is a crucial aspect of bondage, as it can pose physical risks if not done correctly. Practitioners often use safe words and establish guidelines to ensure that all parties feel comfortable and secure. Education and practice are important for those interested in exploring bondage safely and responsibly.
