Self Bondage

Someone who ties, binds, or restrains themselves is said to engage in self-bondage. Self-bondage can be achieved with chains, ropes, handcuffs, or other widely accessible restraints.

More About Self-Bondage

One of the riskiest types of kink play, when done alone, is self-bondage, which has occasionally resulted in fatalities. One's range of motion becomes increasingly restricted, and self-release becomes more challenging as people bind themselves together.

Sometimes, release devices, like a key in an ice block, are used to indicate how long the self-bondage will remain. In the event of an emergency, this can make it challenging to unbind rapidly.

Self-bondage can be lethal if they are unable to free themselves in time to handle an emergency, such as a fire, or if health problems, such as an asthma attack, arise.
