Bondage - El Arte de Atar!

Bondage is a designation applied to erotic bindings executed on a person dressed or naked. The restraints can be made on any part of the body or the entire body, usually using ropes, but also often seen in many cases the use of tape, fabrics, chains, handcuffs, and anything else that can serve to immobilize a person. With certain frequency, a gag is applied to the person or their eyes are blindfolded. Bondage can be used as an aesthetic-erotic practice, as part of a BDSM relationship, or as a variant erotic or as an element in domination ceremonies or sadomasochism.

Despite this type of practice only recently being documented in publications about sexuality, the sexual desire linked to immobilization is very widespread and has been known for a long time, as shown by numerous images with apparently non-erotic intentions.

The reason that is most frequently invoked is the liberation of inhibitions and responsibilities, as they entrust the keys to the erotic game to another person, who sets the pace. The sensation of letting go, of carefree erotic abandonment, is highly gratifying for many people on a sexual level.

Some people are also attracted to physical sensations: the pressure of the cord, the impossibility of moving, the rubbing or even the abrasion produced by the cord as it moves over the skin. Linked to this last one is also the pleasure obtained from the adrenaline generated by symbolic danger. It's equally attractive to feel impotent when trying to free oneself; some people enjoy making these attempts while being sexually stimulated by the active person, although bondage does not necessarily imply sexual contact.

It's also common for bondage to be used in what are called submission games or games where roles of master/servant are represented. Finally, bondage can be used as a complement to other sexual practices, even conventional ones, to stimulate the libido of the person receiving the bondage and/or the person executing it.

In this context, some of the reasons that active people frequently give for explaining their fondness for bondage include the stimulation generated by having total responsibility over the sexual pleasure of their partner or companion, the creative and aesthetic pleasure of seeing the human body bound like a singular work of art, and other complementary reasons that interest those who assume the passive role.

In the practice of bondage, other complements may intervene, such as masks, blindfolds, gags, plugs, swings, etc.
