strappado bondage

Strappado bondage is a type of restraint used in BDSM play. The person being restrained is suspended upside down by their wrists or elbows, usually secured to an overhead support, such as a beam or a ceiling hook. This position can be extremely uncomfortable and helpless, heightening the sensation of power exchange between the dominant and submissive partners. It is a variant of the straightjacket and suspension bondage techniques.
