Suspension bondage

Suspension bondage is like a special game of ‘tag’ that grown-ups play, but instead of running around, they tie each other up using ropes or other kinds of soft, strong materials. They often do this to feel powerful and in control, or to experience new sensations in their body.

When people play suspension bondage, they tie up the person who wants to be suspended. They set up a special kind of system that lets the person float in the air, kind of like a swing but with ropes. To do this safely, they use special knots and make sure the person being suspended is comfortable and secure. Sometimes they might use cushions or other soft things to make the person comfortable.

While in suspension, the person being tied up feels like they are flying. It's an exciting experience and can make people feel like they are living in a different world than usual. Some people like to do this for hours, while others only do it for a few minutes.

It’s very important to do suspension bondage carefully and safely. It’s a game that requires a lot of practice and knowledge to do correctly. People who want to try suspension bondage should always learn from experienced people who can teach them how to do it safely. The safety and well-being of everyone involved is the most important thing in any kind of game like this.
