Asymmetric bondage confuses the submissive's image of their body, interrupting its sense of balance. It can be quite disorientating for the restrained individual. These factors tend to increase psychological impact, making asymmetric bondage arousing to some.
It’s important to note that asymmetric bondage, as with all sexual bondage practices, should be a consensual sexual act in which all parties participate willingly. Asymmetric bondage positions should not restrict the bound person's breathing, and their position should be changed at least once an hour to avoid circulation concerns. The bound person should never be left alone, and a safeword should be employed to ensure the activity is enjoyable for all parties.
