Sex must be a dynamic and exciting activity for couples. However, there may be times that both of you may feel a bit bored and want to experience a new dimension for your sexual routine.

What is Bondage Play?

Bondage is an erotic roleplaying. It is an act of achieving sexual gratification which involves binding, tying or restraining a partner.

It is done for aesthetic or somatosensory/tactile stimulation. Bondage play is not just about physical restraint but also about mind control with your partner.

Submissive vs. Dominant vs. Switch

In a bondage play, there is a submissive and a dominant partner. The submissive partner or “bottom” is the one who receives stimulation from a partner. On the other hand, the dominant partner or “top” is the one who applies stimulation to another.

There is also another role which is a switch. They are the ones who take the role as the dominant and sometimes as a submissive. Moreover, they are referred to as being versatile.

The best way to find out your role is to experiment with your partner. Even though you are a dominant person at work, you may enjoy and love to take the role of the submissive in bed.

You may also take both roles and switch in every session. Learn to find the perfect balance that will suit your personalities.
