Device Bondage

Device bondage is a type of bondage that uses restraints or furniture to restrict a person's movement. The rigidity of the devices often make for a very harsh bondage.

Examples of devices or furniture used in device bondage include:

• One Bar Prison
• Pillory
• Rigid Fiddle
• Spreader Bar
• St Andrew's Cross

This equipment is often self-made, and created for specific positions or purposes. However, it is also common that materials normally used for scaffolding are used to create more flexible and temporary constructions.

Origins of the Term

This term was made popular by the Kink.com sub-category "Device Bondage," where different furniture was used to restrain the performers during a session. The term device bondage, and the application of devices and furniture, was already a known practice before that.
