It\u2019s crept in to many parts of pop culture thanks to the likes of Rihanna, <em>American Pie<\/em> and \u00a0<em>Fifty Shades of Grey<\/em>. So what is it really and why are so many people doing it? Our blog on bondage for beginners\u00a0tells you everything you need to know.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>What is Bondage?<\/h3>\n<p>Bondage is the practice of achieving sexual gratification from being restrained. It requires a dominant figure and a submissive but these roles can change as often as you like.<\/p>\n<p>Although it does represent the \u2018B\u2019 in BDSM, rest assured that it doesn\u2019t have to involve any form of sadomasochism! As a result, you can experience all the gain and zero pain with bondage.<\/p>\n<p>Bondage can be relatively simple, letting you improvise with household items such as bed frames and chairs. Bondage can also be used for purposes other than foreplay, including sexual teasing and erotic tickling.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"9357\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bondara.co.uk\/blog\/lifestyle\/sex-tips\/bondage-for-beginners\/attachment\/brb-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bondara.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/brb-2.jpg?fit=500%2C333&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,333\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"brb-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bondara.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/brb-2.jpg?fit=500%2C333&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9357\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bondara.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/brb-2.jpg?resize=402%2C268&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Black and white photograph of woman with hands and ankles tied behind back in bondage\" width=\"402\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bondara.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/brb-2.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bondara.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/brb-2.jpg?resize=225%2C150&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bondara.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/brb-2.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 402px) 100vw, 402px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Who Should I Do It With?<\/h3>\n<p>This isn\u2019t something you\u2019ll want to spring on with a stranger.

Inviting a first date home with the offer of tying them to the bed probably won&#8217;t\u00a0elicit a positive response.<\/p>\n<p>Bondage is most often done with someone you know and trust, most likely a partner. There needs to be a mutual confidence about moving forward with bondage, so make sure you\u2019re on the same page and enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n<h3>Where Should I Be Doing It?<\/h3>\n<p>There is no limit on location but this all depends on the type of bondage you\u2019re going for.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re just starting out, the more beginner-friendly acts &#8211; like using a pair of handcuffs &#8211; can be kept to the bedroom for extra comfort. You can use the bedframe, the desk, the doorframe, whatever tickles your fancy!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for something a little more advanced, there are plenty of clubs for people with an interest in bondage.
