Self-bondage

Self-bondage is the practice of sexual bondage without a partner; that is to say, tying or otherwise restraining oneself for the purpose of sexual pleasure. Because self-bondage is performed alone, it has several distinctive features not present in conventional bondage, including an increased element of risk; a need for reliable release mechanisms (after a delay); and special techniques for applying complex bondage to oneself even while movement becomes increasingly restricted. Self-bondage is also characterised by experimentation and ingenuity, and the opportunity to devise novel schemes and variations — in or out of fictional stories — is part of the appeal, and part of the increased danger.

Commercial equipment

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 http://www.playtoies.com/Funtoie_Sales/self_bondage.html. Another vendor sells "Solo Play Straitjackets" http://www.maxcita.com/cottonsj/solocotton/solocottonsjlite.htm.
