ICcode for "Suspension bow"

{{Wikipedia|suspension_bow}}

A [b]suspension bow[/b] is a form of [about=suspension]suspension[/about] bondage where the subject is suspended in the inverted (upside down) position bent backwards into a bow. To achieve this, they are suspended with their legs apart (sometimes with a suspension [about=spreader bar]spreader bar[/about]) and with a [about=rope]rope[/about] tied to the wrists pulling the arms up behind the person, securing the rope either to the spreader bar or to a securing point between the two legs. It may be better to use [about=suspension cuffs]suspension cuffs[/about] rather than the rope, as a large amount of stress is placed on the wrists in this position.

If the subject is a female, then, in this position, her breasts would be pointing almost straight down (depending on the strictness of the position), and [about=nipple clamps]nipple clamps[/about] and weights can be added for painful stimulation. The clamps may be secured to a point on the floor, limiting the subject's ability to struggle or to move at all without causing pain.
