Predicament bondage is the art of restraining a person by bondage in such a way that there is a limited number of positions, each of which are so uncomfortable that they are forced to shift their weight or position. Upon doing so, they place themselves in yet another equally uncomfortable position. This type of bondage is used in BDSM and power exchange play.
Typical predicament bondage examples:
- Causing muscle fatigue, such as standing on tiptoe (e.g. by tying their hands, breasts or hair to an upper point), which forces the subject to choose a more physically painful position, for example letting themselves lower their weight and stand regularly while forcing a rope attached to their genitals to pull taut and cause pain.
- When a subject is tied in such a position so that remaining still will not cause any discomfort, but moving their body will pull on ropes, weights or other devices meant to cause them pain.
- The subject could be tickled, sexually pleasured or otherwise enticed to move uncontrollably in their predicament.
- Forcing the subject to a hunched position by tying their genitals or thighs to a lower point; both of which will become uncomfortable in a brief time – but they are faced with pain if they try to fix their posture.
Safety First!
There can be safety issues with predicament bondage.
Consider the predicament itself, and have a quick release option should the captive faint or become too weak to support themselves.
Do’s
- Have your safeword(s) agreed upon prior to starting
- Bind in such a way that no serious harm will come of them should they pass out, slip etc
- Most standing bondage is done with arms tied to ceiling hooks
- this allows your lover to hang/stretch should they faint, become tired etc, vs falling over and chocking or seriously hurting themselves
- First aid kit
- Keep an eye out for circulation concerns – color change, swelling or loss of sensation are just a few
- Keep ‘quick release’ tools, such as scissors and cock ring cutters, handy
- Keep water nearby for your bonded lover
Don’ts
- Leave your lover alone
- Tie up in such a manner that they fall forward or backward and cause serious harm
- Unbind in an illogical order,( ie remove the arms from the ceiling bind and try to slowly let them down, if their nipples are still tied/bound (could cause serious damage or rip off the nipple)
