Bondage Tape

All you need to know about bondage tape

For kinky people into bondage

For bondage in a hurry, you can't go wrong with a bit of bondage tape. It comes in rolls a little like duct tape, and it's made of a flexible plastic that adheres only to itself. This means it's perfect for quick and dirty binding, tying and gagging! Bondage tape comes in all manner of colours and thicknesses, and is a fantastic addition to any BDSM travel kit. Just make sure you pack some scissors along with it - safety is paramount, and it's vital that you're able to get the tape off in a hurry if needs be. Bondage tape is available from almost all kink stores and sex shops, and it's also an affordable way to try bondage out for yourself for the first time.

What is bondage tape?

This kind of tape is designed especially to stick to itself but not to skin and hair, making it ideal for all kinds of bondage play.

Why choose bondage tape?

It is easy to transport and easy to use, just wrap it around your submissive’s body, you can completely mummify a person (leaving breathing spaces of course) or just secure their wrists together. It’s very versatile.

Is bondage tape better than rope?

It depends on what you want to do really. It is certainly easier to use, there aren’t any knots to memorise. However, using tape won’t leave pretty marks or look as impressive as rope ties. It might be easier to get out of too and you definitely can’t suspend someone with it! However, if you want to restrain someone quickly, simply and with relatively little fuss, bondage tape is a good choice.

Will pulling bondage tape off hurt?

Only so much as pulling any kind of tape or plaster off skin might hurt a little bit but because it doesn’t stick to hair, it won’t be any more painful no matter where the tape has been stuck down to.

    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.

    Similar to Bondage Tape

    Bondage is one of the most famous and best known aspects of S&M and BDSM play, and not without reason. Being tied up is a glorious sensation for the right person, and the control inherent in being the person doing the tying can give a dominant partner a heady rush. Ball gags are also commonly used. Sometimes bondage is there primarily to enhance a roleplay scenario; sometimes it's almost an art form, especially when it comes to rope bondage. Other times it's just to make clear the dynamic and have some fun with each other. Whatever your reasons for indulging, make sure you're doing so safely. Learn some knots that don't tighten under pressure and always keep a pair of shears to hand in case you need to release your partner in a hurry.
    Bondage rope is perhaps the most fundamental part of any bondage kit, and is a vital addition to anyone's sex toy collection - and the more, the better. Good bondage rope is soft, strong, well sealed at the ends and resistant to fraying. There are countless ways to use it, and a clever dominant can fashion enough rope into almost anything else; cuffs, a collar, even a gag! The most important thing is to have a pair of shears on hand whenever you're playing with rope; that way, if you need to release someone from a tie quickly and painlessly, you won't be stuck fumbling with knots long after they've used a safeword.
    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.
