Suspension Bondage

Really tied up!

All you need to know about suspension bondage

Suspension bondage is often just called suspension and is mostly done using rope. Although it can be achieved with chains or cuffs too or a combination of all those things. It’s a very advanced variety of bondage that involves the rigger (person doing the tying and suspending) really knowing what they’re doing. It is a risky form of play but one that is very popular because of the way it looks, the sensations given to the bunny and the variety of positions and suspensions that can be undertaken. Taking bondage from tying down to being tied up, literally, your feet won’t touch the ground

What is suspension bondage?

Suspension bondage is when someone (the bunny or bottom) is tied not only to restrain them but to lift them off the floor, partially or completely depending on the tie and the wants of the people involved.

What kind of rope is best for suspension bondage?

Mostly this comes down to personal choice. Cotton rope isn’t recommended for suspension because of the way the knots compact together and become tight and hard to unfasten. Jute is often a favourite for suspension. If in doubt, ask at your local peer rope event for what others like to use to make an informed choice

What skills do I need to practice suspension bondage?

As a rigger (the person tying) you need to gain a good knowledge of suspension. To do this, attend local rope events to get instruction from others who have experience at it. There you’ll be able to ask all kinds of questions and you’ll be able to watch others suspend as well as get help doing your own.

Don’t undertake any suspension, full or partial, until you feel completely ready to do so. When suspending for the first time have someone more experienced to help.

As a bunny, you need to make sure you tell your rigger about any health issues, especially nerve problems, circulation issues or about any medication that might make you dizzy or affect your heart at all. If in doubt –tell them! If you have reliever medications such as inhalers or epi-pens make sure they are in an accessible place and that the rigger knows how to administer them if you need them.

How can I practice suspension bondage safely?

Make sure you have a pair of EMT safety sheers so you can cut your rope quickly in an emergency.
Check your suspension point is strong enough to take the weight of your bunny.
Ideally have someone else around to help and to spot potential problems.
Practise, practise, practise. Make sure you know what you’re doing before attempting a suspension.

    Similar to Suspension Bondage

    Bondage is one of the most famous and best known aspects of S&M and BDSM play, and not without reason. Being tied up is a glorious sensation for the right person, and the control inherent in being the person doing the tying can give a dominant partner a heady rush. Ball gags are also commonly used. Sometimes bondage is there primarily to enhance a roleplay scenario; sometimes it's almost an art form, especially when it comes to rope bondage. Other times it's just to make clear the dynamic and have some fun with each other. Whatever your reasons for indulging, make sure you're doing so safely. Learn some knots that don't tighten under pressure and always keep a pair of shears to hand in case you need to release your partner in a hurry.
    Most bondage equipment focuses on restricting bodily movement, but that isn't always the case. Many people who enjoy being tied up or handcuffed also enjoy being caged; the sensation of restriction is less immediate, but it's just as psychologically overwhelming. A bondage cage also brings a certain aesthetic to a scene, and can help people into certain kinks such as pet play get more into the head spaces they love to explore. Some kinds of sensation play and similar can even work through the bars, and gags or hoods can add to the fun. When playing with bondage cages, be sure to consider their size and comfort levels - and, relatedly, how long it's sensible to stay inside one for.
    For many people, bondage is as much about the aesthetic as it is the sensation. Bondage yokes are a great example of this, as they're both extremely restrictive and have a classic look to them that's hard to beat! They can be pricey pieces of kit - your best bet for acquiring one is to look into some of the kinky craftspeople who offer handmade, artisanal BDSM gear and sex furniture - but there's no beating them for the aesthetic. They'll hold the wearer in a position that's convenient for all kinds of activities, and can be used in combination with other kinds of bondage and BDSM gear.
