Breast bondage
Breast bondage is a technique in BDSM play. Unlike most bondage, it is not intended to restrict the mobility of the tied person.
Ropes are tied around the base of each breast, causing the breasts to bulge outwards. Usually, the same rope is used for both breasts so that the rope harness is automatically held together at the front. The rope may then also be fixed behind the back, to make a sort of bra. For this to work, the tied person needs large breasts; it is rarely possible to do it to a man.
Another technique is to put a rope round the torso just above the breasts, and another one just below them, then push the ropes together to squeeze the breasts from the top and bottom, as shown in this image. This can be done instead of, or as well as, the other method.
This technique is often combined with elbow bondage, to make the breasts stick out even more. Sometimes, nipple clamps are placed on the nipples. Alternatively, the ropes across the back can be linked to a box tie or a reverse prayer position.
As with any situation where tight ropes are used, it is possible that blood flow will be restricted, which can cause pain and lasting damage if care is not used. Photos of breast bondage often show that the breasts have turned purple. If this happens, blood flow may have been restricted too much and it may be safer to remove or loosen the ropes.
