Here’s a tiny excerpt from a long and awesome essay by “The Ferret” called Why I Can’t Rape My Wife. I think Ferrett exaggerates the difficulties for comic effect, but he makes some good points:

Bondage. There’s three types of bondage: Cheap, moderate, and fucking scary.

Cheap Bondage doesn’t work, and Nike Velcro shoes prove it.

…

Here’s the secret of cheap bondage: Your partner’s faking it. That ad-libbed knot at the right bedpost slipped twenty minutes ago, and he’s been working overtime to keep his hand in place. That blindfold-cum-scarf? She’s been peeking out from under since you started. Unless you’re some kind of sadistic boy scout, your trivial attempts at impromptu bondage are doomed to failure. You need the professional equipment, pal.

Moderate Bondage is where you finally take the leap and purchase professional equipment – manacles, leather gags, whips, and the like. This provides approximately three hours of fun and two years of terror.

The fun is when you bring all of your lovely glittering merchandise home and really go to town. This is when you really need a safe word, because your partner is genuinely immobilized and you can do anything you want. Woo hoo!

Then you’re sitting on the bed in a puddle of sweat, rubbed-off skin, and fluids that were really interesting when they were body temperature but are just kind of icky now… And you’re wondering where the fuck you’re supposed to stash all of this stuff.

There’s chair bondage:

And then there’s chair bondage suspension:

This looks like Irving Klaw’s work, but I cannot say for sure that it is.

Here’s something you don’t see every day: a girl in a full rope suspension … eating a pancake.

Easily explained. She was hungry!

Writer Shelby Cross offers a useful illustration of the difference between fantasizing about something and actually wanting to experience it:

My absolute biggest hard limit is needles. I have a phobia of hypodermic needles and syringes, especially ones designed for blood tests.

…

I also have limits with my nipples. They are acutely sensitive, and can’t take a lot of abuse. Threaten me with nipple torture, and I will cry.

Here’s where things get funny: my most exciting fantasies, the ones that shoot me into instant arousal and have me itching to come, are ones that involve getting pins stuck through my nipples. Obviously, I would NEVER want this done to me; this is fantasy alone, visions in my head that will never come to fruition. But the idea of it thrills me nonetheless.

With good communication and trust, this sort of thing can be useful in scenes; a good menacing can sometimes get your sub going like nothing else, even if the threatened behavior is completely off-limits.
