Outdoor Bondage

Definition - What does Outdoor Bondage mean?

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.

Kinkly explains Outdoor Bondage

Outdoor bondage was originally promoted by a subculture of gay individuals also known as leathermen. This group often carries out explicit demonstrations of outdoor bondage where the submissive partner is clad in restrictive leather attire. The Folsom Street Fair, for example, is a yearly BDSM event that promotes outdoor bondage.

This form of bondage can also occur in a more formal setting. For example, a dominant might take their submissive partner to dinner in a fancy restaurant by openly leading them on a BDSM leash and collar.
