"Bondage" is a term for any activity that involves tying your partner or otherwise restraining your partner for pleasure. Many forms of bondage, especially with ropes or chains, can look intimidating at first, and it's common to believe that you can't really be good at bondage if you don't know how to tie knots. Neither one is true!
When most people think of "bondage," the first thing that comes to mind is tying someone to the bedposts. That's one of the simplest ways to do it, but there are a lot more possibilities as well--and, thankfully, you don't need to be any good at tying knots to explore them. In fact, you might not need any rope at all! Of course, there's more to bondage than tying someone down. Bondage can be thought about in several different ways; "restraint" bondage, where the goal is to prevent someone from moving or restrict someone's range of motion; "stimulation" bondage, which is bondage that doesn't restrict someone's motion but where the ropes or ties press on sensitive areas of the body (such as breasts or genitals) to cause erotic stimulation or arousal; and "suspension," in which a person is bound from an overhead fixture in a way that suspends the body entirely off the floor in a sling or harness of ropes. When you hear the word "bondage," you probably think of restraint bondage--tying someone's wrists to the bedposts, that sort of thing. Stimulation bondage, on the other hand, is a lot of fun as well, and can sometimes even be done under a person's clothes...which means you can be tied up while you go to work, go shopping, and so on. Some types of bondage do both--they immobilize a person and also stimulate parts of the body in erotic ways.
When you first start experimenting with bondage, it can seem scary and threatening. There are a number of fun, safe ways you can get your feet wet and explore the idea of bondage without being overwhelmed. Here, you'll find some how-tos and ideas for getting started with tying people up in a relaxed, easy, fun way.
The ideas shown here go beyond just tying your lover down or being tied down, and talk about "stimulation bondage." In this section, I'll show you how to tie rope harnesses and offer some other ideas for you to explore.

Any time you experiment with bondage, it's generally a good idea to have a plan about getting that person untied in a hurry if you need to. One good tip is to keep a pair of bandage scissors handy. These scissors, also called "EMT scissors," are designed to remove bandages quickly and safely. They have a sharp blade and a blade with a rounded tip; the rounded blade is designed to be slid underneath a bandage so the bandage can be cut without poking or injuring the person. A good pair of bandage scissors will make short work of rope, bondage tape, and so on, without injuring the bound person. You can find these inexpensively at most drug stores, or find them online here.
