Breast Binding

[Ishmael]

I know that this has been touched on before, but not in any depth it appears.

So, all you Dom(es) and subs.

Do you do breast binding? What do you subs get out of it? And you Dom(es)?

What techniques and materials do you use? Intricate or straight forward?

With breast binding alone, I enjoy the physical sensation of the breasts swelling, the increasing sensitivity and tenderness of the nipples and the general feeling of being bound.

Now, if a blindfold or further restraints are added to the breast binding, that intensifies the scene.

With a more ornate or intricate binding, there is this odd feeling of becoming art, not just enjoying the scene, but the visual effect can be rather appealing.

Now, I am anxious to hear more about technique.

I have my notebook handy!

It will be interesting to read what others post. I do not use it cause I have male subs, and although I do nipple play, binding does not enter into it.

Understood EB. I wonder though. I think that there may be some shibari variations that you might be able to adapt to your purposes. While the results may not be the same as with a female sub, I certainly can't see the harm in trying.

I find that using rope on their dangly bits are much more rewarding. LOL

I've never done it and don't like seeing pictures of it. It's not a hard limit, I've just never had any interest in it.

Someone here once said they like their breast flogged after being binding. I think that's a good way to damage blood vessels.

OH yes.

Or perhaps leave scars?

The tissue is tender and fragile, binding or breast play is something that I would and do consider only with someone with experience.

No one is going to learn on these treasures!

Ditto, from the sub side.

I think what scares me about the visual is that with most other parts of the body cutting off/trapping blood so severely could be very dangerous. However, I would try it with a knowledgable partner if there was interest, with a bit of trepidation.

It's not something for the novice WD. There is a fine line on the binding between pleasure and potentially permanent damage. And each woman has a different limit (read that as tension) that defines that line. Flogging is not that traumatic if the binding is done properly. Me? I'm not into the flogging, so I've never found that to be an issue.

In any kind of binding what you are doing, in effect, is applying a ligature. A tourniquet if you will. To loose and the effect is not achieved, to tight and you have the potential for problems. In general, starting on the loose side is preferable. Take the time to stand back and observe the part of the body that the ligature is applied to and loosen or tighten as required. Make sure that stimulation is applied during this time as the breast will swell during stimulation and what was once 'just right' will become too tight. A 'second degree' sunburn color is just about right. Blue is to be avoided.

The materials used are also a consideration.

I find that the thought of breast binding and those type of images are turn ons.

One day I will find out if I actually like it.

It can be done solo.

 

[bunny bondage]

i've never tried it either, but i'd like to. i definatlly see the artistic apeal in it, and i begin to feel like His work of art, His masterpiece when i'm bound otherwise. hmm....that does sound like a good idea.

 

[cellis]

From a sub perspective I can tell you that we do a lot of breast bondage... We do a lot of bondage and rope work period... but I particularly like the feeling of having my breasts bound tightly, the smooth feel of the rope on my skin... Himself is very good with ropes... pays lots of attention to my skin and the condition and rarely flogs my breasts when bound...

I don't know if I can put into words the particular level of excitement I feel when I see Him bring out the ropes... and feel it dragged over my skin as He winds it around my breasts and body. He sometimes makes a harness and has been practising with the more elaborate designs. I truly love the way my body looks wrapped in rope...

Just wondering if any of you have ever gotten breast infections as a result from having your breasts bound? I am not talking about the skin, but the breast tissue internally? Also how does the dominant know how tight to bind them without doing harm that cannot be seen? (That is probably a question no one can answer.)

Thank you, silkee_A

Can it occur? Yes. That is highly dependent though.

Damage to the internal structures and tissues of the breast occur from necrosis in these cases. That is to say the the internal cells are killed. This is a result of a binding that is far to tight applied for too long a period of time.

How can you tell? Well, the breast(s) will turn blue. (A side point here. Not only is every woman different, but generally each breast must be treated as an individual. They aren't the same left to right, and each will require a slightly different tension.) A blue color indicates a lack of blood circulation and is to be avoided. In minor cases this isn't much different than a bruise. Extreme cases's are, well, extreme. Infection may or may not occur, but if it does it because the bacteria were already in the woman's blood stream and they found a place to settle. The binding itself did not introduce the pathogen.

Care must be taken at all times. As a matter of safety, it is wise to have a pair of surgical bandage scissors (the kind with the flat, blunt tips.) handy in the event the binding must be removed quickly.

Hi, ISH....didn't know you hung out here....I suppose it shouldn't surprize me.

My one experience had its down sides.

I can only suggest....DO NOT USE HOCKEY TAPE....especially if you are going to get sweaty!!!!

(I've been told there is special tape for this.)

And some women's breasts are more easily injured than others. Especially if you already have some premenstrual swelling. Whenever there is extreme pressure the mammary ducts can get inflamed. If you're run down you could be at risk of developing infection.

It wasn't my cup of tea.

Sorry about your experience weed.

NEVER, EVER use tape for the binding. Tape can be used as an overlayer, for visual effect, but not for the binding itself.

Hurrrah!!!! Someone mentioning a simple, but highly important fact. They are each different. Sometimes in minor ways, sometimes, as in my case in ways that need to be known efore play.
My right is slightly larger, only I seem to notice. But the important thing is it is cystic and much more easily hurt or bruised. So the left gets played with more, and the right is the sweet tender one.

Let me go dig up a link Wizard shared once about how to play and what to do and such.

wow....there's a lot more to this than I would have imagined.

Thanks for the advice, Ish....no more tape for this girl!!!

The above is an excellent essay everyone should read before playing. Don't let it scare you off, but knowledge is a power too.

 

[MissTaken]

Thanks merelan!

The differences in my breasts are most notable when bound. One seems to be larger and becomes more imflamed when bound.

As far as my experience wiht bruising or infection, I don't have a vast knowledge base here, but believe that the standard rule of thumb for tight nipple clips could be applied here as well.

15-20 minutes.

Oh and don't forget your safe words, gals!

 

[Ishmael]

Good link merelan. It does cover some of the points very well.

Safe words. I hesitate to say this but 'safe words' are almost useless here. Most women can withstand a tension that is far beyond safe without feeling discomfort. As a matter of fact a numbness can set in that actually might have the bottom asking for more tension.

It is here that practice and care must be excersized by the top. Judgement and experience must prevail here.

Materials

The material used is important. There are many rope types out there that are more than adequate. But like everyone else, I have my favorites.

I prefer to use double braided pre-stretched lines available at marine outlets. 1/4" is the minimum diameter. 3/8's is about the largest practicle size. This rope does not stretch or shrink. Holds knots well and the soft braided cover reduces the chances of abrasions. It's expensive, but it lasts forever and comes in a variety of colors with highlights woven into the braided cover for aesthetic purposes.

NOTE: Marine halyard rope in 1/2" is an excellent rope to use for wrists and ankles. It's soft, non-abrading, has some give to it, but holds knots very well without becoming hard to untie. (I'm assuming the proper knots are used here.) Again, this stuff is expensive but well worth the price in the wearability, and safety.

If it's cheap, you probably don't want to use it. It will stretch or shrink, bind, abrade, not hold knots well, and will not last long. Plastic coated clothes line cord is workable for a one or two shot deal but have scissors handy as knots will 'jam' on occasion.

For those of you near large bodies of water, a marine supply store that caters to the sailing crowd shouldn't be difficult to find. For those of you not so fortunate, there are many sources on the web at a little higher cost.

Thank you Ishmael for the info.. answered some of my questions

Thanks Merela... I went to the site you posted, it was very informative as well.

I do have another question though

If the dominant binds the breast or even any other part of the body, once it turns blue it is too late if there is damage done than there is no fixing it, other than it healing on it's own. I guess my point is that if I were a dominant which I am not, I would want to learn this technique from someone before actually doing it myself. I know I sound a bit "out there" and my questions may sound dumb to ask but I am just curious.
Thanks again to those of you who responded.
