Breast bondage
Breast Bondage is a bondage technique which involves tying rope around a woman's breasts, often in a visually intricate and decorative pattern. It differs from most bondage techniques in that it is not intended to restrict the mobility of the victim directly. However, it can do so indirectly when it is combined with other techniques. Instead of rope, straps, leather or a harness may be used. Breast bondage can be done on bare skin or over clothes, can be left exposed for all to see or can be covered with clothing. Also, it can be used alone or as part of more intricate bondage.
The basic breast bondage technique involves tying ropes around the base of the breasts, causing them to bulge outwards. Usually, the same rope is used for both breasts so that the rope harness is automatically held together at the front. The rope may then also be fixed behind the back, to make a sort of bra. For this to work, the tied person needs large breasts.
Another technique is to put a rope around the torso just above the breasts, and another one just below them, then push the ropes together to squeeze the breasts from the top and bottom, as shown at left. This can be done instead of, or as well as, the other method. A rope can also be passed over the shoulders and between the breasts, drawing the rope above and below the breasts together, then passed back over the shoulders to the knots at the back. The primary rope can be used to place cinches between the arms and the body.
This technique is often combined with elbow bondage, to make the breasts stick out even more.
Effects
As well as the immediate effect of making the breasts bulge, there is a restriction of the blood flow, generally causing a further swelling and firming of the breasts. This makes them more sensitive, especially the nipples and surrounding areas. If nipple clamps are used, the nipples will be very sensitive, increasing the pain. Rubber bands around the breasts can also be used with breast bondage to increase this effect still further, but can cause a dangerous restriction in blood flow (see Safety).
Safety
As with any bondage scene, safety precautions should always be taken.
Where tight ropes are used, it is possible that blood flow will be restricted too much, which can cause pain and lasting damage. For this reason, thin rope should not be used. Photos of breast bondage sometimes show that the breasts have turned purple. When the breasts or nipples begin to change colour or become cool to the touch, it is a warning of danger. It is better to have several short sessions rather than one long one.
If the bound breasts are whipped, only a low-impact device should be used. Binding the breast removes its natural ability to shift on impact and compacts the tissues so that any hard blow can increase the potential for damage. Rupturing, internal tearing and stretch marks are all hazards of breast suspension if not done properly. In suspension bondage, the body should be properly suspended through additional supports and not by the breasts only.
A sharp pair of scissors with blunt points for safety should be kept at hand to undo the bondage quickly in the event of an emergency.
