Strappado - Bondage
Strappado bondage is type of bondage
in which a person has their arms
bound behind their backs and are then lifted upwards
until the person is
forced to bend forward to maintain the position.
This position can
enhance the pleasure and/or pain inherent in BDSM play
as the position
can be manipulated to leave the bound individual more vulnerable.
Strappado bondage can be altered to
achieve different styles
of this particular type of BDSM play.
The
different styles include:
Legs apart, or spread wide
Legs together
Head pulled forward by use of rope
Head bondage to pull head back
Elbows bound together
Due to the stress of this position on the body,
it is recommended that this position not be held for extended periods of time.
