Bondage Yoke

All you need to know about bondage yokes

For kinky people into restraints

For many people, bondage is as much about the aesthetic as it is the sensation. Bondage yokes are a great example of this, as they're both extremely restrictive and have a classic look to them that's hard to beat! They can be pricey pieces of kit - your best bet for acquiring one is to look into some of the kinky craftspeople who offer handmade, artisanal BDSM gear and sex furniture - but there's no beating them for the aesthetic. They'll hold the wearer in a position that's convenient for all kinds of activities, and can be used in combination with other kinds of bondage and BDSM gear.

What is a bondage yoke?  

A bondage yoke is a specific device that immobilises the submissive’s hands by locking them parallel to the person’s neck. A yoke has three holes, one for the neck and 2 for the wrists and can be fastened to hold the person in such a way they can’t move their arms much at all.

How to use a bondage yoke safely?

When a submissive is locked into a yoke, be sure they are comfortable, that the yoke doesn’t pinch the skin and that they can breathe easily, and still move their fingers. If it’s too tight remove it immediately. The submissive will not be able to look down, if they are walking around, make sure they won’t trip over anything. Keep an eye on them at all times, don’t leave someone in a yoke alone.

Why use a bondage yoke?

It might not be the easiest or quickest way to secure a sub, but a bondage yoke has its advantages. It is heavy, so the submissive will really feel your control over them. They are visually stunning, especially good if you enjoy taking photos of your play. They can be used in conjunction with other bondage items easily too.

What is the best material for a bondage yoke?

The simple answer here is whatever you prefer. Most bondage yokes are made of wood or metal. If you want one that is super heavy, go for metal, if you prefer one that is relatively lighter, then wood is the way to go.

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.
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!
Many people who enjoy restrictive sensations crave the feeling of being immobilised, and there's no better way of doing that than a bondage body bag. They're available from a wide range of BDSM retailers, and they're one of the most complete and restrictive forms of full-body bondage available. The most important safety consideration with them is to ensure that the wearer is continuously supervised - it's not safe to leave someone so helpless alone for even a moment, as any number of things could occur. If you have that covered, though, wearing a bag like this can be a fantastically sensuous and comforting experience.
