Chain Bottom
A chain bottom is someone who enjoys being on the receiving end of BDSM play involving chains, particularly chain bondage. This may include being restrained with chains or other metal bondage equipment, such as cuffs, shackles, and collars.
Being a chain bottom does not necessarily imply submission. As with other BDSM bottoming roles, it describes the person receiving an activity rather than their position in a power-exchange relationship.
Some chain bottoms enjoy the physical sensations of metal, including its weight, temperature, or movement against the body. Others enjoy the feeling of restraint, the industrial or medieval aesthetic of chains, or the psychological aspects of being bound by a partner.
The role is similar to that of a rope bottom or rope bunny, but emphasizes chains and metal restraints rather than rope.
Chain bondage requires particular attention to safety, as heavy or rigid metal restraints can create pressure points, restrict circulation, or cause injury if improperly used.
