First, indulging in any BDSM activity involves thinking hard about safety concerns; bondage is no different. Breasts are tender spots on the body, and there can be nasty repercussions from tight ties and impacts, such as cysts. Everyone involved needs to be aware of these risks before continuing. There are lots to think about before you start tying, and it's essential to do your research.
If you're the rigger, check-in with the rope bunny about how they want to be tied - ask how tight, how painful, and how long do they want to keep the bondage rope on for. Also, keep checking in throughout the scene. Of course, don’t forget your safeword too!
No one wants the worst to happen, but you need to be ready if it does. Ensure you have emergency shears close to hand to cut off ropes, keys to release chains (or use carabiners for quick and easy release), and have a first aid kit close by to treat any wounds that might occur.
People of all genders can enjoy breast bondage. How much flesh you have over your chest will dictate what harnesses and ties can be used. However, it doesn't matter who you are; you can have a pretty chest harness. If anyone says otherwise, well, avoid them. That's red flag behavior for sure!

Your best way to learn bondage is to be taught by someone who knows what they’re doing. Attending rope events to watch others work and learn the basics yourself is the best way to go. However, we have the wonders of the digital age, and now you can find rope tutorials online (check out our article: Where Can I Learn Rope Bondage?) You can practice on a large teddy bear or a pillow to get used to passing the rope through your hands and tying knots.
The most important thing to remember for breast bondage is having fun and communicating. You can take your basic harnesses and ties and develop your own patterns. Enjoy experimenting with different types, colors, and thicknesses of rope - or how about chain?
Breast bondage can be the beginning of your BDSM fun. Tied breasts are more sensitive. You can use other implements such as a Wartenberg wheel, nipple clamps, or even hot wax (if you don’t mind it getting on your rope) to enhance the experience of your rope bunny. Or use your fingers and lips to tease the sensitized flesh.
Tied breasts will mark easily, so be aware of this. It’s good to have a conversation about how much marking is okay and if the rope bunny wants to have pain involved. Masochists may enjoy the heightened sensations and the abundance of marks that can be created within a RACK (Risk Aware Consensual Kink) setting, but this is an extreme practice.
If you’re not interested in pain or marks, there are still lots of fun ways to take advantage of bound breasts:
You can have lots of fun tying up breasts of any gender but remember to do your research, be risk aware and keep your scenes safe. Don’t be ropey with your ropework, but be creative and have fun.
