Bondage practice may be performed at different levels. In fact any activity has broader or narrower limits, which are set between the partners consensually. In this regard, you are the one who decides whether to stop or to explore your sensations to the extreme and this mainly depends on sub and dom needs and expectations. To say it simply and unequivocally, nearly every bottom will tell that bondage is for submission sensations and every top will say that control is the basic urge of this game. I will mainly talk about sub needs as it's much closer to me and as it is mainly bottom desires that rule the game. Understanding the core of what turns the sub on is important to find the strategy appropriate for one or another bondage setting.
1. Fetish
I would call it less extreme of all bondage incentives. When you feel like fetish bondage lover you are considerably motivated by looks. Further actions may become not so significant and even undesirable. The mere look of metal cuffs, the smell of leather outfit or your own body artfully tied in rope will create the desired excitement.
2. Dom's power
In this situation the center of attention is mainly focused on top person who will take most of the responsibility and rule the game in his own direction. Here bondage is mainly ruled by the bottom need to be controlled and is a mediator between partners rather than a goal in itself. Here we can talk about bondage in a more collateral meaning, where the type of bondage has a minor role in comparison with the feeling of helplessness it gives.
3. Out of control
Though rarely met as a detached motivation, bondage, or to say it more precisely physical restrain, is a primary aim of the game. The more restriction is applied, the more satisfaction you can derive. Here you may try even more serious techniques with total immovability and deprivation to add to vulnerability sensations.
4. Extreme sensations
When you want to go far in your sensations, you rarely use bondage alone. It would rather be a first step towards experiencing more intense feelings. Here bondage can go with flogging and sensory deprivation. Painful experience is simply desired. You should be even more cautious to take safety measures to minimize the risk.
You cannot say that one motivation will be dominant over the other as most are entwined with each other, but making it clear for both of you will help you to make a better vision of gear specifics and methods you will require for your next bondage session.
