Some other things to consider during bondage. Many of the people in this lifestyle are rather heafty. Due to that physical attribute, there are things you also must consider there. Understand blood pressure, understand heart rate, understand the need for water during and after (see aftercare of this series). Also remember that if you have the person laying down on their belly, you will need to have some sort of cusion under them to alieve extra pressure under the rib cage. With people of an additional weight, you must be extra careful about circulation to the hands and feet. Keep an eye on skin color. Check the finger nails to ensure blood is still flowing at an acceptable rate. You can do that by pressing the nail, and when the skin under the nail is white, remove pressure from the fingernail, and see how long it takes for the color to return, should be 2-3 seconds, no longer than 7.
With mental bondage, there is a preperation phase. You will need to say things in advance to help put the person in the head space of "I must do exactly what (s)he says!" If you don't prepare them to accept your verbal commands, when you do give one. If they are not mentally ready to recieve it, you may very well get scoffed at, or perhaps even rejected.
With both types of bondage there are things to consider during your scene, and after.
I would like to thank maddie for providing us with a very detailed breakdown of what to expect, and how to conduct a scene.
