Self-bondage is the practice of sexual bondage without a partner. This means tying or otherwise restraining oneself for the purpose of sexual pleasure. The idea of self-bondage can also be extended by using release mechanisms to restrain two (or more) people for a period which they cannot control.
As self-bondage is usually performed alone, it has several distinctive features not present in conventional bondage, including: an increased element of risk, a need for reliable release mechanisms (after a delay), and special techniques for applying complex bondage to oneself at a time when movement is increasingly restricted.
Self-bondage is also characterised by experimentation and ingenuity, and the opportunity to devise novel schemes and variations — in or out of fictional stories — is part of the appeal, and part of the increased danger. (ref: wikipedia) |
