Not all bondage is inherently erotic. Some is bondage for bondage’s sake, there to serve a little reminder that you’re not free, you don’t have the same freedoms as other people. Practical freedoms, like the ability to walk across a room without struggling against chains hobbling your feet. Or hanging your hands by your side, or reaching them above your head. 

Bondage is the easiest, most practical reminder of one’s submission, and for some, it feels far more alien not to be constricted than it is to be bound. Freedom feels unnatural, almost a guilty pleasure, something they should hide and be ashamed of.
