Outdoor bondage refers to a practice where submissives are restrained by their dominants in public areas. Like most BDSM activities, outdoor bondage normally occurs with the explicit consent of the submissive. In some cases, this practice can also be used as a form of punishment. To work around public decency laws, couples normally indulge in outdoor bondage in select places like in front of BDSM clubs, street fairs, and BDSM campsites.
