Meaning

Understanding the Bondage Giver archetype

A Bondage Giver enjoys restraining a partner using tools — cuffs, chains, straps, tape, or purpose-built devices. The appeal is the control and trust of rendering a willing partner helpless, and the focus that comes with doing it safely and well.

Where a rigger specializes in rope, a Bondage Giver enjoys restraint broadly. Either way, the core is the same: a partner’s trust, your attention, and care taken with circulation, positioning, and quick release.
