Rope Bondage Suspension

Suspension Bondage is a form of sexual bondage where a bound person is hung from one or more overhead suspension points. Here, we tell you all you need to know about Rope Bondage Suspension.

How many types of suspension are there?

There are two types of suspension: partial suspension and full suspension. In partial suspension, suspension ropes, cables or chains hold part of the bodyweight of a person. The most common partial suspension position is to have them balancing on one foot with part of their weight supported by a chest harness and the other leg pulled up. In full suspension, suspension ropes, cables or chains completely support the person: they don’t have any contact to the ground. The position of the person in suspension depends on the endurance and skill of the binder.

What is Rope Bondage Suspension for?

The main purpose of Rope Bondage Suspension is to create a heightened sense of vulnerability and inescapability. If the suspended person tries to free themselves, they may fall and hurt themselves. Suspension in Rope Bondage creates a sense of submissiveness and erotic helplessness which can be stimulating for them and their partner. Rope Suspension is usually a performance art.

What are the positions of Rope Bondage Suspension?

Rope suspension has three main positions: vertical, horizontal and inverted.

Vertical Suspension consists on lifting the person from the ground by their wrists. Because of this, we recommend you use suspension cuffs, as they are specially designed to distribute the weight around as much as possible. Or, you can use a bondage rope harness with the ropes around the body—in particular around the upper arms—in order to close the shoulders.

There is also the Horizontal Suspension, which is when the person is bound in a horizontal position. They can sometimes be facing up, but are usually facing down. In Horizontal Suspension, you lift the person by attaching bondage equipment to their wrists and ankles or other areas of their body.

Finally, Inverted Suspension is when the body hangs upside down, but it is difficult since it causes the blood to rush to the head. Remember, this position is not for long periods of time.
