Suspension Bondage

A type of restraint play called suspension bondage involves one person hanging above the ground while wearing restraints. The one who is being bound and suspended is usually a bottom in this type of BDSM, whereas the person who is planning the suspension is usually a top. People of any gender or sexual orientation can occupy these roles.

Intercourse or genital stimulation may or may not be a part of suspended bondage, as is the case with many other BDSM practices. It is frequently a rewarding act in and of itself because it can be pretty intricate.

One risky kind of BDSM play is suspension bondage.

In suspension bondage, a variety of apparatus and restraints can be employed. To raise the submissive off the ground, sturdy ropes, cables, and chains are required. You can tie a rope in a succession of Shibari-style knots right around their torso. In order to adequately bind and safeguard the bound person's wrists, ankles, and other joints, cables and chains can be fastened to specially made cuffs and harnesses. For suspension bondage, some dominants employ a big, stable frame. A sturdy carabiner can be used to link the rope, chain, or cables, and hooks and rings can be fastened straight to the ceiling.

There are three primary postures for suspension bondage: inverted, vertical, and horizontal. Their wrists usually hang the submissive in vertical suspension bondage; however, occasionally, a harness is used. It is possible to arrange and tie the submissive's body in various ways by using spreader bars and other bondage tools.

More options are available for the submissive's body placement and binding methods with horizontal suspension bondage. They can be raised off the ground from a variety of tied body parts, or they can be suspended from as little as their wrists and ankles. The submissive's arms and legs can be positioned in a variety of ways, and they can be placed face up, face down, or on their side.

With the exception of the submissive being inverted, inverted suspension bondage is identical to vertical.

More About Suspension Bondage

Since the person being bound frequently experiences a strong sense of freedom, suspension bondage can be an exciting paradox. Restricting, limiting, or eliminating the bound person's mobility in order to leave them powerless is one of the goals of bondage. That same powerlessness, however, can change into a feeling of weightlessness, floating, and possibly even accessing one's own "subspace" when the individual is restrained and subsequently lifted off the ground. Naturally, the rigger also takes delight in placing the tied person in such a dangerous circumstance.

In a scenario including suspended bondage, the dynamic between the dominant and the submit is fundamental. The foundations of BDSM play and relationships are communication and consent, but when enjoying suspending bondage, these must be elevated to new levels.

Before trying one's first scene, this kind of play necessitates extensive training and research. While there are a variety of resources accessible, some people learn best when a guide is present throughout a scene. Before starting a complete suspension, many people start their training with partial suspensions to gain experience and information. For the dominant and submissive to learn and subsequently love suspended bondage, patience is essential.

Since suspension bondage is a risky practice that can result in severe injuries, there is a lot to learn, and patience is essential. In the simplest terms, a person who is not correctly tied may fall and land awkwardly, injuring themselves. Another crucial factor is that the rigger must comprehend the laws of suspension and how gravity and constraints affect the bound person's various joints and body parts. Improper suspension can lead to injuries such as circulatory problems and nerve damage.

The tying partner also learns during suspension bondage training that they must always have a plan for the suspended partner's escape or swift release in case something goes wrong.
