I'd say that many of the photo essays on Serious Bondage qualify as heavy bondage for me.

I think for me, the difference between light and heavy bondage is the degree of physical stress or strain the tie puts the recipent under , either immediate or over a period of time. Therefore for me, things like mumification don't come under the heavy bondage label, yes they are very restrictive, but are very passive types of restraint.

See, i personally would refer to that as "strenuous bondage". Subsets of which would then be "predicament bondage" and "painbondage".

So if that's heavy bondage, how would you refer to highly immobilizing bondage aside from mummification? Say, a leather straitjacket, secured flat against the wall, legs solidly anchored wide apart, two layers of hoods with an inflatable gag, posture collar, etc... [:-]

Side note, while i'm rambling- while i really like the sound of "strict bondage", it doesn't imply anything in particular for me. It's kind of falls under "i don't know what it is, but yes, please!" [&:]

i have been using this phrase a lot and lately have realised  S/some P/pl probably don't know what i mean when i say it.  i'm talking about hogtying, arm binders, straight jackets and other restraints that put a body in a strained position, as opposed to, for example, being cuffed to a bed post where you lie in a more or less natural position.
 
Is that what M/most P/pl think is meant by "heavy bondage"?  Or is this something i should explain whenever i would use the phrase?
 
Thanks for Y/yr thoughts.
