In a mutual scene you are playing with someone, either as a Top (The person who is dominant, or binding someone else), or a Bottom (The person who is submissive, or getting bound up!). Both ways there is a huge, sometimes unimaginable bond of trust between the people playing; as the Bottom you're trusting your very life to the hands of your Top and vice versa. Can you imagine what that can do for a relationship? Some people use a safe word or action if they're in a mutual situation as an emergency get out... ("I've had enough!")

When you're bound and unable to escape (This only applies to strict bondage), there is nothing you can do about any situation that might arise or be in progress until you're released. If someone is going to force you to orgasm or tease you without letting you orgasm, hey, just relax and enjoy it! If you're into pain, i.e. whipping / clamping / hot wax etc you can just relax (Or not!) into it, what the hell, there is nothing you can do to stop it :)

Some people just plain enjoy the physical sensation of being bound. There are lots of different materials which can be used, latex, nylon, silk, chain, rope, steel / tape etc; these provide wildly different sensations in any scene, whether or not the bonds are loose or tight can greatly influence any feelings for both giver and receiver. See SubSpace

There are many methods / techniques people use to get themselves and others into bound situations, some basic ideas are:

Rope & Chain, get someone to tie you up with some rope, either to a static object (Think chair / bed / table / kitchen cupboard, the rafters of your garage / bondage frame or chair / whipping stool or bench.

More exotic material such as nylon (Stockings / hose), steel safety rope, leather straps also have a well known place in bondage, they all produce different sensations - go play and find out what you like best!

Positions - Only limited by your imagination, some even go in for suspension bondage!

Mobile Bondage - this is where you would have something locked onto a part of your body and be unable to remove it; for example any given chastity device, an item of clothing, or even a simple chain. When worn under every day clothes such items can be a major turn on!

Mobile Bondage also applies when you are helplessly bound and can still move around, for example in what is commonly known as a "Long Crawl" You would be bound quite severely and made to crawl to the key / knife where you would be able to attain freedom once more. This can be made more exciting by having to retrieve several keys / items from different locations to get free!

There are as many places you can practise bondage as you can imagine, any scene where there is a greater possibility of being discovered will, generally speaking, produce larger and longer thrills or "trips" than places where there is no chance of discovery. Some people have a scene they call a "Long Walk", where they will be in Mobile Bondage, outside, and have to travel some distance to get free again!

Other places I've seen over the years are, in a backroom of a shop in business hours, in the trunk of a car, in the middle of the woods tied to a tree, in the middle of a field at night, even on a flat roof! Imagination knows no bounds.
