Predicament bondage

{{Wikipedia|Predicament_bondage}}

Predicament bondage is the art of restraining a person in such a way that there is a limited number of positions in which they can move (usually two). Both of these positions are so uncomfortable or painful that they will shift their weight or position. Upon doing so, they place themselves in the other equally uncomfortable position. The person restrained will try over and over again to find a position that will bring them comfort, but to no avail.

For example, someone may be tied so that they are forced to stand on tiptoes. An attempt to stand with feet flat on the ground means that their genitals, which are also tightly bound, will be slowly pulled. Eventually, the foot muscles will tire, and they will no longer be able to stand on tiptoe.

This type of bondage is used in BDSM, and power exchange play.

Safety issues

There can be safety issues with predicament bondage. The top not only needs to consider the mechanics of the predicament that they are placing their captive in, but also what will happen should the captive faint or become too weak to support themselves. Specifically, the top needs to consider how to release the captive unaided should they faint and if they faint or are unable to support themselves will they cause injury to themselves.
