Strict fixation

What is Strict Fixation?

Strict restraint is a practice from the BDSM and fetish scene in which a person (the passive part) is immobilized by the active part with ropes, belts, handcuffs or other aids. The aim of this practice is to create a feeling of loss of control and surrender in the passive part, while the active part exercises power and control. Strict restraint is often used in combination with other BDSM practices and offers a variety of emotional and physical stimuli.

Origin and Concept of Strict Fixation

The roots of strict restraint lie in the exploration of power and control dynamics. It is based on the idea that being restrained can be an intense psychological as well as physical experience. Within the BDSM community, strict restraint is seen as a way to increase trust and commitment between those involved.

Types of Strict Fixation

There are many variations of strict fixation that can be adapted depending on the preferences and limitations of those involved:

1. rope bondage:
   • Use of ropes to artfully and securely fix the body.
   • Can be decorative or functional.
2. Handcuffs and leg irons:
   • Use of handcuffs, leather cuffs or Velcro fasteners.
   • Particularly suitable for beginners.
3. Straps and belts:
   • Stable fixation thanks to wide straps that distribute the pressure evenly.
   • Often used in medical or dominant scenarios.
4. Stretching positions:
   • Fixation of the body in stretched or unusual positions.
   • Can be physically demanding and requires caution.
5. Complete immobilization:
   • Use of full-body restraints such as bondage bags or restraint beds.
   • Creates an intense feeling of loss of control.

Security and Communication

Strict restraint requires a high level of attention to ensure the safety of all involved:

• Consensus: All practices must be based on clear consent and prior agreement.
• Safety equipment: Always have a cutting tool (e.g. bondage scissors) ready to quickly release the fixation in an emergency.
• blood circulation: Regularly check that the fixation does not impair blood circulation.
• Communication: A safe word or signal makes it possible to stop the practice immediately if discomfort occurs.
• Slow introduction: Beginners should start with light fixations and increase slowly.

Advantages of Strict Fixation

Strict restraint can provide both physical and emotional benefits:

• Increased intimacy: The practice promotes trust and a deeper connection between those involved.
• Clearly defined roles: It reinforces the dynamics of dominance and submission.
• Emotional release: The passive part can experience an intense form of relaxation by letting go of control.
• Sensual stimuli: Fixation can intensify sensations and direct focus to touch or other sensory stimuli.

Social perception

Strict restraint is often viewed with prejudice or incomprehension by the general public because it is closely associated with power and control games. However, within the BDSM community, it is seen as a legitimate and versatile practice that can provide an intense and enriching experience when practiced consensually.

Conclusion

Strict restraint is an exciting and versatile practice that combines physical immobility with emotional commitment. With clear communication, safety precautions and mutual respect, it can be an enriching experience for all involved. Whether as part of a power play or to explore new sensory stimuli, strict restraint offers numerous opportunities to experience power and control in a safe and consensual way.
