Kinky Variations Of Downward Facing Bondage

Now… let's get down to business. For the sake of ease, let's assume that you are the dominant party and that previous bondage sessions with your bondage partner went well. Now that a base of trust has developed between you and your partner, you have negotiated a bondage scene that involves spread-eagle bondage. Where to from there? Time for a little Q & A: (1) Do you want the bottom to lie face-up or face-down? (2) Do you want the bottom's wrists tied spread apart or tied together? (3) Do you want the bottom's ankles tied spread apart or tied together? (Wiseman, 194). As depicted in countless books and movies, the classic spread-eagle bondage position involves the bottom being secured face-up with both their wrists and their ankles tied apart. Slight variations and kinky deviations from the standard spread-eagle bondage scenario bring with them both advantages and drawbacks. Here we will take a look at the classic downward facing spread eagle bondage position.

Spread-eagle position # 5:
Classic Downer or…Bottom tied face-down with wrists tied apart and ankles tied apart. As you may assume, this bondage position exposes a great deal of the bottom's backside, legs and trunk, making it an ideal position for whipping and spanking, The downward-facing spread-eagle bondage position is known as the classic pose for those combining bondage and spanking or whipping.

Adequate access to your bondage partner's back, buttocks, and upper thighs combined with decent access to inner thighs is a winning combination especially if you plan on whipping or pleasuring your bondage partner. Gaining access to your bondage partner's genitals tends to be fair, although vaginal intercourse may be too complicated to be worth attempting. Elevating a female bottom's pelvis may simplify access to her vagina for vaginal intercourse, but remember to make the appropriate accommodations in rope or handcuff bondage length to allow for the addition of a pillow. On the other hand male genitals can be carefully drawn back so that they become at least partially accessible when a male partner is in bondage. Anal play is a fantastic choice for this position as the bottom's bottom is perfectly poised in this bondage position for either penetration with the top's penis or by a strap-on dildo.

Oral sex is at best an acrobatic adventure in this bondage position—the top must either sit or lie at the bottom's head to be orally pleasured and this is often a cramped and uncomfortable position for both partners, especially for the bottom who may overextend his or her neck muscles if attempting to perform oral sex when in a downward-facing bondage position. Jay Wiseman suggests experimenting with adjusting the wrist bondage as more length may help. Straightforward variations upon the classic downward facing spread-eagle bondage position include having the bottom with wrists tied together and ankles apart (#6); wrists tied apart and ankles together (#7); and wrists tied together and ankles tied together (#8).

Spread-eagle position #6:
Bottom tied face-down with wrists tied together and ankles tied apart. The big advantage to this position is that tying the bottom's wrists together can increase their feeling of exposure and vulnerability although it does tend to limit the mobility of the partner in bondage's head. Generally this minor loss in the ability to move one's head from side to side is not a significant problem, but it may impact your bondage partner's breathing if the position is prolonged. Access to the bottom's buttocks, genitals and inner thighs is just as it is in the classic face-down spread-eagle bondage position.

Spread-eagle position #7:
Bottom tied face-down with wrists tied apart and ankles tied together. As one may well imagine, this bondage position minimizes access to the genitals and the inner thighs although having the upper thighs positioned together does conveniently cover and protect the testicles. This eliminates any unfortunate blows to the testicles, and allows the top to be a little more flagrant when spanking and whipping his or her submissive. Intercourse increases in difficulty—vaginal intercourse during bondage becomes almost impossible and anal sex is less inviting as the submissive may find it difficult during bondage.

Spread-eagle position #8:
Bottom tied face-down with both wrists and ankles tied together. Jay Wiseman comments that this position limits access to the bottom's genitals and inner thighs, but that bondage in this form can be very good for spanking, whipping, and so forth. It is often possible for the bottom to move from -the face-down position to the face-up position when tied in this way (199).
