'''Strappado bondage''' is a term describing a position and technique used in ] play. A person's arms are bound behind their back, then by use of some method of attachment such as a rope or chain that runs from their wrists to a securing point above, their arms are lifted up behind them until the person is forced to bend forward. | |||
The term "]" used to describe this position refers to a method of torture that is still practiced in some countries today, and has its roots in a form of medieval torture by the same name. While the strappado bondage position is considered to be a form of BDSM "play", it shares its basic principles of restraint with the method of torture and therefore can very easily become just that if not practised safely. In particular, there is a risk of the sort of injuries discussed in the ''strappado'' article. | |||
==Visual appeal== | |||
In strappado bondage, those who enjoy the aesthetics of BDSM cite particular appeal in the emphasised buttocks, as well as the breasts appearing enlarged as a result of them hanging from the chest with the subject bending forwards. | |||
==Precautions and safety== | |||
This bondage position is also used as a form of torture, therefore measures are usually taken to ensure that the subject bound in this position is not pushed beyond their physical capabilities. Any position that moves limbs into an extreme position and holds them there for an extended period of time can result in damage - sometimes permanent - to even the most flexible of people. | |||
