Honour bondage is a kind of bondage that essentially dispenses with, or limits, the need for physical bondage in a scene. Instead of using restraints such as bondage cuffs or rope, the captive is requested to hold a fixed position through their own force of will.
In John Norman's Gor series of science fiction books,
this is referred to as being "bound by the master's will". When the
master says "You are unbound", the slave is then released from the
requirement to simulate being bound. (Similarly, being "blindfolded by
the master's will" means that one must keep one's eyes closed, while
"being "gagged by the master's will" means that one may not speak.)See also
