Suspension Bondage Play

Being suspended by ropes, chains or bars against the ceiling or wall can be an exhilarating experience that challenges your body and your mind in new ways. For those who practice BDSM, suspension bondage play offers both physical and psychological pleasure. If you’re interested in trying it out, here are some basics about suspension bondage sex to get you started.

What is Suspension Bondage?

It should come as no surprise that there are numerous benefits to bondage sex play, which is why many people call it the other kind of foreplay. But there are also risks involved in suspension bondage play, so it’s important for both parties to know exactly what they’re getting into. Here’s everything you need to know about suspension bondage sex. Here’s how it works: In suspension bondage sex, one person—or both people—is attached to an overhead point by any number of restraints including rope, chains or leather cuffs. Rope suspensions require a support structure such as a bed or frame that can handle being used as a pulley system; don’t go too far off with these until you have a lot of experience tying and being tied up. As with most BDSM, communication is key; make sure everyone knows their limits before you get started! You want to make sure your partner knows what he or she likes before suspending them; using safe words can help, but be wary if they’ve been suspended before. Never rush your partner! Before starting a bondage scene, take time to establish trust and verbalize boundaries, especially if either of you has done suspension bondage play before.

What are the devices used for suspension bondage sex?

This is where knowing a little bit about BDSM and fetish can really help. There are many, many pieces of gear and toys that can be used for suspension bondage sex, but we’ll start with basics: rope. Lots and lots of rope. Make sure its quality rope made from cotton or nylon—basically, don’t go for anything synthetic—as these materials tend to burn when they get wet. (Very sexy!) Also keep in mind that your entire body will weigh more in certain places than others; focus on securing areas like your butt and thighs rather than arms and shoulders if you think things might get heavy! And make sure you have plenty of safety scissors around. You’re going to want to take advantage of their quick cutting ability when you inevitably discover how difficult it is to untie everything once playtime has ended.

How to ensure safety and pleasure at the same time?

The key to safe suspension bondage is to have a good plan and know what you’re doing. Plan out your point of attachment, your rope type and length, and your backup safety systems. Be sure you trust your partners to communicate their limitations clearly. When it comes to BDSM play, consent is king! If you follow these guidelines and take care of each other, then you’ll have nothing to worry about (but sore shoulders).
