Bondage refers to practices involving restriction of movement within BDSM. This page provides general information for adults; it does not teach tying, suspension or sexual techniques.

Consent does not mean unlimited control

The NCSF Statement on Consent emphasises voluntary, informed agreement, boundaries and the ability to withdraw consent. It also recognises that injuries can occur despite agreement. This article cites its ethical perspective and glossary; its discussion of United States law does not describe Spanish law.

Claims that have been corrected

The previous article suggested that sexual routine could cause a relationship to end and that trying bondage would necessarily strengthen it. It did not substantiate that causal claim. Nobody needs to accept a practice to prove affection, trust or commitment.

Claims that a set of rules could remove every danger, a general recommendation of suspension, and promises involving kundalini energy and guaranteed satisfaction have also been removed. A short explanation cannot assess personal risks or establish someone’s competence to perform an activity.

Information without obligation

Curiosity does not create an obligation to experiment. Distinguish a cultural description, an individual account and advice presented as suitable for everyone. If a text promises to fix a relationship or eliminate risk, ask what evidence supports that claim.
