National Bondage Day

National Bondage Day explores the themes of trust, power, and boundaries within the BDSM community. Far from being about pain, bondage is often an exercise in deep communication and total trust between partners. This lesson explores the power exchange—is it possible to be free while being bound? We explore the psychology of the rope.
