Anyone else do bondage for relaxation or meditation?

[NR47]

It's something I've done off and on for years now and just wondered if anyone else was into it?

[wannabetiedup]

I'd love that and would like to suggest that to my wife also. She currently only sees it as sexual and can't fathom it as anything else at the moment. Personally, I can't sit still voluntarily. I feel that I could and should be doing something useful. Being tied up would prevent that and allow me to relax as that is all I could do!

[RotiferTape]

Yes!! That’s pretty much all I use bondage for. Relaxing and just hanging out.

For me it is much the same, sitting tied to a chair (you'll find examples of the how on this board) makes me really relaxed and I fall asleep really quickly. Whatever was happening in my life would just have to wait, as there is nothing I can do about it.

Only question is always, when am I going to be released.

I would love to give this a try. Hello

Pretty much the same for me. While there's other things I can enjoy with bondage, mainly I enjoy using it for relaxing. With being a dom leaning switch, I can enjoy both sides of it to. Love being comfortably restrained for a period of time with or w/o sensory deprivation and enjoy helping others get to experience the same in a controlled/safe setting!

I certainly do!
The majority of the time, even.

I most definitely do myself. If I go more than a couple of months without being tied up for at least a few minutes, my stress levels sky-rocket.

Yeah, for me it's a way to escape from the stress of every day life and just let go for a bit.

I think it's a mix of both for us. Sometimes what is supposed to be just a relaxation session ends up being sexual. If she sees I'm turned on while tied up she might end up masturbating me to orgasm, and then I'm left tied for a while more so I can relax completely.

Sounds like the ideal situation!

I would love such an experience to relax but I worry that with my experience, I’d end up just getting too excited anyway. Maybe I’m just too easily distracted

This topic fits my preference very well.

I would not be able to relax, if I was tied up myself (I only see myself on the other end), but I would definitively love to meet someone, who could enjoy being tied by me and zen out during the experience.

As much as I enjoy being tied up, my favorite is tying up my wife. In the past she only did bondage for sexual pleasure, but lately we've been exploring it for the meditative aspect. I'll usually tie her, blindfold and gag her with bandanas or scarves, and then cuddle her and hug her close (she hates being left without physical contact during bondage because it makes her anxious). With me there plus the bonds she says it gives her an opportunity to feel secure and safe. I think it's been very useful in overcoming past trauma she's had.

Of course, I'm sorry to read, your wife had to go through something traumatic, but that sounds like a really great relationship you are having.

I do this a lot as well and is a great stress reliever. I often let my mind wander when I'm in bondage and I find myself drifting off, but not necessarily falling asleep. During these times I forget I'm in bondage in the first place.

While being tied up & gagged is typically accompanied by daydreaming some sort of kidnapping / hostage situation / ransom fantasy to go along with it…

…there are times where just sitting around somewhat bound with a cloth over my mouth is indeed relaxing.

Sometimes I do this when I have some computer work to do…ankles tied together, detective gagged, or duct tape over my mouth, etc…

Sure, I got sometimes tied up for meditation. My wife ties me up, usually in a tight hogtie and leaves me alone for one hour. Most of the times I actually fall asleep…

[StrugglingSue]

I used to, but haven't in some time.
