While for the most part self-bondage is performed using ordinary and easily available equipment (indeed, it lends itself to impromptu adaptation and a "do it yourself" approach), a few commercial products have appeared — in the United States for the most part — catering for the self-bondage practitioner. One such toy is a pair of delayed release handcuffs which operate using the principle of melting ice [2]. Another vendor sells "Solo Play Straitjackets" [3]. The YOUniverse Time Lock Safe [4] can be used for self-bondage. (This product is intended only as a children's toy an ...

These were the earliest examples of bondage cover art images, and ran from about 1910 (when the pulps became more common) until roughly 1975 (when men's adventure type of magazines started to disappear). The peak era for these seems to be the 1930s with weird menace and detective pulps and the 1960s heyday of men's adventure magazines. ...

In the early 20th century, "Detective magazines" covertly provided a way of publishing bondage imagery. Comic books often featured characters being tied up and tying others up, particularly in "damsel in distress" plots. There were also a very limited number of specialist fetish magazines which featured images of bondage, such as the famous Bizarre magazine published from 1946 to 1959 by the pioneering fetish photographer John Willie, and ENEG's Exotique mag ...

In Germany, Philip is the naive young student whose heart and mind swivels between a romantic Englishman and a practical American. It is obvious Maugham's sympathy lies with the practical American, though it is clear his alter ego Philip Carey is more impressed by the romantic English man's roseate view of life. When Philip comes back from Germany, he meets a Miss Wilkinson who is a daughter of Philip's Uncle's colleague. Miss Wilkinson is much older than Philip but is very flirtatious. Eventually, they agree to a rendez-vous in which ...

Peonage means an unfree labor system where laborers are bound in servitude until their debts are paid in full. Those bound by such a system are known, in the US, as peons. Employers typically force laborers to buy from employer-owned stores at inflated prices in order to keep them in debt. This is also a variation on the truck system (or company store system), in which workers are exploited by being paid only in minimal amounts of goods and/or services. Such systems have exist ...

Employers may force laborers to buy from employer-owned stores at inflated prices in order to keep them in debt. This method is an unjust variation of the truck system (or company store system), in which workers are exploited by being paid only in insufficient amounts of goods and/or services.

Prior to the early modern age, feudal and serfdom systems were the predominant political and economic systems in Europe. These systems were based on the holding of all land in fief or fee, and the resulting relation of lord to vassal, and was characterized by homage, legal and military service of tenants, and forfeiture. Many historians have argued that this system was also established in some Latin American countries, following European settlement. A modernization of the feudal system was "peonage", where debtors were bound in servit ...

According to Anti-Slavery International, "A person enters debt bondage when their labor is demanded as a means of repayment of a loan, or of money given in advance. Usually, people are tricked or trapped into working for no pay or very little pay (in return for such a loan), in conditions which violate their human rights. Invariably, the value of the work done by a bonded laborer is greater that the original sum of money borrowed or advanced." See also:

In hogtie bondage, the practice of sexual bondage named for it, the person who is being tied up is lain down flat on their belly, with ankles and wrists tied together behind the person's back. A particularly dangerous variation of the hogtie has been used to torture and kill its victim: the hands are tied behind the back and the feet are tied together, with one end of the rope around the victim's neck. The tension on the neck-rope can only be relieved if the victim keeps their neck, back and legs arched; eventually, the victim tires and strangles. This is sometimes referred to as the I ...

Crossdressing bondage images has only been seen as underachieved niche within erotica and pornography and has hardly been approached through traditional films produced in the San Fernando Valley, the most prolific area of Porn production in the United States. However, the common depictions of women in bondage since the earliest photographic images such as that shown by the renowned Irving Klaw (photographer in the 1950's) of Betty Page (fetish model) has allowed ...

The hogtie when used on pigs and cattle has the limbs tied in front; it is not possible to tie them behind without harming the animal. When performed on a human, however, a hogtie is any position that results in the arms and legs being bound behind the person. The term also applies figuratively to an instance where a person has said or done something which has unpleasant consequences, and ...

Waist training, or waist reduction, generally uses an hourglass corset. Waist reduction is most often used by women who are post-pregnancy or by women involved in BDSM (called tightlacers). Several books are available for women who are not a part of the BDSM subculture and want to practice waist training. No structural features distinguish a modern waist training corset from a corset worn as an external garment for special occasions. Training corsets are always made from strong fabric (or leather) and with relatively in-flexible bonin ...

In earlier times, when a corset was an everyday item of apparel, a training corset in the sense of body modification was not used. Girls began wearing corsets as part of their transition into womenhood, much as girls today begin wearing bras at the onset of puberty. It was primarily in the 1800 when corsets were used to noticeable reduce a woman's waist in order to achieve a fashionable hourglass figure. The corset was laced progressively tighter, forcing the floating ribs upwards and compressing the soft tissues at the waist. This could lead to many negative health ramifications, including difficulty breat ...

First and foremost, breathing and other safety measures must be appropriately taken care of, usually by leaving the face (or at least the mouth and nose) open. As with all bondage practices, there should be a means for the bound person to communicate in an emergency, and a way to release them quickly if necessary (for example, using EMT scissors to cut their bonds). A bound person should never be left alone. ...

In Japan, if someone is photographed or filmed while handcuffed their hands have to be pixelated if it's used on TV or in the newspapers. This is because someone who'd been arrested brought a successful case to court arguing that being pictured in handcuffs implied guilt, and had prejudiced the trial. Police handcuffs are sometimes used in sexual bondage and BDSM activities. This is potentially unsafe, because they were not designed for this purpose, and their use can result in nerve or other tissue damage; bondage cuffs were designe ...

The earliest fetters found in archaelogical excavations date from the prehistoric age and are mostly of the puzzle lock type. Roman times already see a variety of restraint types. Some early versions of cup lock shackles can already be found. These are widely used in medieval times but their use declines when mass production makes the manufacture of locks built into restraints affordable. Simple fetter types continue to be used like puzzle lock shackles as the typical slave iron or irons riveted shut for prisoners being t ...

In comparison to handcuffs the wearing of leg irons may be found less restrictive. Thus the prison authorities in several countries deem their long term use acceptable. In order to not condone this disputed practice the countries of the European Union have banned exporting leg irons into third countries since several years. The countries that continue to make prisoners wear fetters long term now tend to resort to ma ...

Escapology in its purest form is generally related to ropework, and problems are set with rope, cord, or string. However, professional escapologists' tricks will include anything from handcuffs (rigged or otherwise) to chains, mailbags, or even, in the case of Harry Houdini, escape from a prison cell. Items such as straitjackets are a staple feature in any show, either in "rigged" or official versions. Although many cuffs sold in toy stores or adult stores don't even need a key to release, similar types can be opened with any thin, ri ...
