The practice of tying, binding, or restraining a partner for erotic pleasure. A key component of BDSM.
In-Depth Explanation
Bondage in hentai can range from simple rope ties (known as "shibari" or "kinbaku" in a Japanese style) to more elaborate restraints like chains, cuffs, or gags. It visualizes a character's helplessness and enhances the themes of dominance and submission.
