Suspension bondage
Suspension bondage is a form of bondage where a bound person is hung from one or more overhead suspension points. This practice is often considered to be a form of BDSM, a broad term for a variety of sexual activities that involve physical restraint, dominance and submission, or other related interpersonal dynamics.
History
The history of suspension bondage is believed to have originated from the Japanese bondage art form known as Shibari, which has roots dating back to the Edo period in Japan (1603–1868). Shibari is a term used in the west to describe all forms of Japanese bondage, but it is in fact a type of decorative bondage, which in Japan is known as Kinbaku.
Techniques
Suspension bondage typically requires a high degree of skill and knowledge to create a safe and enjoyable experience. The person being suspended is often tightly bound in rope bondage or leather cuffs attached to a suspension bar or "hard point". The bound person's weight must be distributed evenly across the body to avoid injury, and the person must be monitored closely for signs of distress or discomfort.
Safety
Safety is a paramount concern in suspension bondage. Risks involved include nerve damage, circulation problems, and fainting due to changes in blood pressure. It is recommended that suspension bondage only be practiced under the supervision of an experienced practitioner and that the person being suspended be checked frequently for signs of distress or discomfort.
In popular culture
Suspension bondage has been depicted in numerous books and films, often as a form of power exchange in BDSM relationships. It is also a popular practice within the BDSM community, with many clubs and events featuring suspension bondage performances.
