Bondage Belt

All you need to know about bondage belts

For kinky people into bondage

Most people focus on wrist cuffs, ankle cuffs and collars for enhancing their bondage skills, but bondage belts - like thigh cuffs - can add a few extra possibilities. This is especially true for people who are into suspension bondage, as the waist makes a great extra source of support for someone you're rigging up - but it's absolutely vital to follow proper safety protocol and play with a safeword! If suspension isn't your thing, of course, bondage belts are still useful - combined with rope, cuffs and ties, they can help make almost any kind of bondage feel more restrictive and complete. Try one out as part of the bondage you're already used to and see the difference it makes!

What is a bondage belt?

A bondage belt is not quite like Batman’s utility belt, but this belt has more uses than just keeping your trousers up. Covered in a variety of attachments such as D rings and O rings and chains these belts can be the centre of lots of fun restraint scenes.

How can you use a bondage belt safely?

The belt itself buckles like any other, so there is no particular safety issue in wearing one. However, if you are attaching other restraints to the belt make sure the person is comfortable, that circulation isn’t cut off and that you have some way to release the submissive quickly in an emergency. So keys for cuffs, shears for rope etc.

Is a bondage belt only used for restraint?

The only limit on what you can use a bondage belt for is your imagination. Incorporate it in chastity play by attaching a harness that covers the genitals. You can also use it for orgasm torture. Attach a wand vibrator to the belt to hold it in place so it can’t be moved. The options are endless.

Are all bondage belts leather?

There are belts made from vegan alternative materials and chain so not all of these belts are made of leather. You can then pick the kind that fits your needs the best.

Quick disclaimer: This is simply my take on things. Your’s may be different and that’s ok—that’s the beauty of kink!

A BDSM slave is someone who has consensually agreed to being owned by someone else, often a “Master”.

As long as consent exists, the other person retains all-rights-of-ownership of the slave.

This transfer of ownership is called a “total power exchange” (TPE).

It means consensually handing over your ability to make decisions for yourself, and granting someone the right to do it for you.

Power exchanges are very popular in BDSM dynamics. But, not all power exchanges are total power exchanges.

Whenever someone gives themselves to a Dom/Master, they’re participating in a power exchange because they’re literally giving power to someone else.

Based on this, a BDSM slave is a very specific type of submissive.

However, most submission ceremonies do not involve the sub giving themselves completely to the Dom—they give a part of themselves.

Submission is a sliding scale, with one end being a “regular” submissive, and the other being a slave without a single right. Most subs/slaves fall somewhere in the middle.

So, not all submissives are slaves, but all slaves are —normally—considered submissives. (There are exceptions, but they’re few-and-far-between).

For example, a sub may give up:

The ability to choose what they wear
Being able to leave the house, without saying why
Freedom for general structure, like rules and chores
While subs do trade some things in submission, they retain many of their rights as autonomous human beings.

A slave on the other hand may give up:

Social media privacy
The ability to say “no”
A choice in what they eat, where they eat it, and when they eat it
The list could go on-and-on, but it all falls under one category: Eliminating choice from a slave’s life.

In theory, removing all rights from another individual is easy. In practice, though, it’s a whole different ballgame.

A TPE can encompass removing all rights. However, most times slaves retain some rights.

That’s because a slave is still a human in our modern world, and must function in it confidently. Financials are one of the biggest caveats here.

Some people will never give up control of their *** because it drastically blurs the lines. Of course, there are slaves who do give up their financial rights, but many do not.

No matter what, it all comes down to the specific dynamic and how both parties want it to run.

Exceptions exist everywhere, and kink is no different. That’s why a definition is meant to be a starting point, not a strict boundary.

Every Master/slave dynamic looks different. Some slaves may only be submissive within a sexual context, while others are submissive in every aspect of the dynamic.

It’s important to understand that “slave” simply refers to the type of relationship: Master/slave. It does not necessarily insinuate a sexual-type-dynamic—although that is often the case.

Before anything else, there are extensive, thorough discussions about expectations, wants, and needs.

Expectations are straightforward. But there’s a massive difference between wants and needs.

Needs will always be taken care of by the Master—no exceptions. They’ve committed to making healthy decisions, and must do the basic requirements.

Wants, on the other hand, are just extras. A master may allow a slave’s wants to come to fruition….or they may not. That’s because it’s not a basic requirement for human function: It’s a bonus.

After all sides have expressed themselves and time has passed, a contract is crafted.

A BDSM contract is a signed document, outlining the expectations, rules, and terms-of-play. And, they’re revisited on an agreed-upon-basis, like every 3-to-6-months.

While a BDSM contract isn’t a legally binding document, it does act as a formal agreement between Master and slave.

So, if/when someone wishes to terminate the contract (Master OR slave), it can be done so immediately, without legal ramifications.

TLDR;

Ultimately, a BDSM slave is a more extreme submissive, with far fewer rights and choices, than a typical sub.

Bondage cuffs are great especially if your priority is speed over finesse! They can be used to tie someone's wrists or ankles together easily, either separately or into a hogtie. They're excellent for tying someone spread eagle to a bed or a piece of bondage equipment, and they make it easier than ever to lead your partner around. If you're interested in bondage, it's well worth investing in a good set of wrist and ankle cuffs - costlier ones are more durable and comfortable, too, making them a great choice for longer scenes and sessions. If you pick ones you especially like, they're also a great addition to your fetish clubbing outfits!
Much of BDSM is psychological, and there's an undeniable appeal to the stereotypes of ye olde worlde corporal punishment. Bondage stocks are inherently a tool of both humiliation and confinement - two of the most important components of many people's kinks. While you won't find them in many town squares these days, they're available in the playspaces of many kink clubs and can be bought from a wide range of specialised sex toy stores. They can also be made relatively straightforwardly DIY style with some carved wood and a sturdy hinge, though for obvious reasons it's important to make sure you've sanded your wood as thoroughly as possible!
Bondage comes in many forms, and shackling is one of the most iconic. Metal shackles are attached to the walls of many dungeons, playrooms and party spaces--and they can take a bit of a pounding, making them a great choice for keeping stronger and more feisty submissives under control! They can be used on the wrists or the ankles, and in some cases are suitable for extended periods of confinement--assuming, of course, you're communicating with the person you've got locked up all the time, and you know how they're doing. If you get a chance to try shackling, it can be well worth it for the aesthetic potential alone.
