[edit] Definition
Sexual bondage without a partner. The act of tying or restraining one’s self without another person there for sexual gratification. Can also involve being restrained to another person for a period of time that neither can control. Holds an increased element of risk, reliable release mechanisms are a must, and special techniques must be learned to tie one’s self with restricted movement.
[edit] Safety Concerns

- Numb or cold extremities.
- Bone fractures and dislocations.
- Bruises, sprains, and strains.
- Muscle cramps
- Fainting
- Rope burns or cuts, shackle chafing.
- Breathing problems.
- Stiff or sore muscles.
- Heat, cold, or dehydration.
- Safety measures can include:
- Abstaining from just self-bondage.
- Avoiding any restraints that might restrict the breathing.
- Using multiple release mechanisms in case one fails.
- Making sure that assistance can be reached or having someone come over to check on you to make sure that you are alive and ok.
- Avoid using toys that have the potential to completely cut off circulation to limbs.
- Move slowly when it comes to adding new elements, master one thing at a time to ensure safety.
- Avoid use of substances such as alcohol or drugs that could impair the ability to escape if need be.
- Make sure that all appliances in the house are off, all hazards are prevented in case of long term bondage scenarios.
- It is best not to stay self-bound for more than a few hours to overnight. And work towards long periods of time bound slowly, ensuring that you can handle the strain on the body.
