Group Bondage

Often in my works, you will find situations where two or more characters are restrained together at the same time as a group. However, you rarely see more masters even with a larger group of slaves. Why?


First, let's consider how the two roles work together. Dominance and Submission are like Yin and Yang, opposites that define each other. Just as you can't submit to no one, you can't be dominant without someone to dominate.

In bondage, dominance and submission is about an exchange of power. By handing over the power to control your body to someone else, you make that person dominant by submitting to his control. With other words, you add a certain power to the master that defines his dominance.

So we are talking about dominance as a mean of power, and the master becomes powerful because he holds power over the slave. That's simple to understand, but is there a limit to how much power you can add this way?

When you have a group of people tied up, it only takes one person to get loose to break them all out of bondage, which means the dominant character is visibly running a considerable risk by trying to chew over more than he can physically handle, but if no one captured can get free then it serves a statement of the master's skills at restraining, making the slaves feel all the more helpless from the evidenced fact that no one can get loose.

Therefore, each and every person captured is basically a statement of the master's power, and the more captives he has the more can be said about his control. Everything the slaves are becomes a physical value that the master then owns, like property: Your garage looks a lot more impressive with several expensive cars, and the same thing applies to having several powerful slaves in the dungeon.


This concept especially applies to males: In terms of sexual attraction, nothing defines masculinity like power. The gender pride itself on large muscles and strength, the bigger and stronger a man is the more masculine value he holds.

So for the master, "owning" several slaves makes him more dominant and powerful, and the bigger and more powerful the slaves are, the better.

When it comes to the submissive, the slave, group bondage has another effect. When you're tied up, you generally don't see yourself as much of an object. You're limited to your own field of vision and the experience mostly comes from the sensation of restrained movement, it's still only a form of intercourse that's happening through interaction between two partners.

However, when you're tied up with other people, you can begin to see your objectified state through another person like a mirror. You discover what it means to be a slave through someone else, just like how you feel more objectified as say, when you're a passenger on a full bus. The driver or the master doesn't take as much notice of you when there are other people there serving the same purpose as you, and you understand the master has less obligation to serve your specific person.

With other words, you basically enter a mindset where you understand the situation doesn't just revolve around you anymore: You think less of yourself to account for the people around you, you become something objectified and you understand that you're now just another body in the group.

At the same time, you have become part of something, a group - a collection if you will - and through that you can live more into the role. You share the experience with them, you have someone there who understands and can relate to what you are going through, someone who understands the state of helplessness, someone on equal footing, "a brother in bondage" like soldiers serving together on the front lines.

The equality between slaves also has an amplifying effect on the objectifying aspect of bondage: Whether they were enemies or friends, heroes or villains, it doesn't matter when they're brought together as bondage slaves. The things that made them different no longer matter, they can no longer communicate or act freely, they are now just captured bodies owned by the master.

Beneath it all, they are still just males. In a group, the similarity in their masculine anatomy with their naked bound bodies speaks for itself.

The last thing I will brush up in this entry is what I mentioned in the beginning of this entry about there only being one master in terms of group bondage: Of course, it's more than possible for there to be more than one dominant person in a group situation, but in terms of bondage it splits the power.

As I mentioned being in a group makes you feel more objectified because you realize you're not as important, this effect applies no less to the masters: If there's several masters, each master then has to realize he's no longer the most important person anymore and for the person in charge, that's diminishing the role a lot.

Part of having someone tied up is being able to do whatever you want with the slave, but if you have to share the person with someone else then the slave is actually more in focus than you are and the master doesn't really exist anymore. Therefore, there has to be at least one slave for every master.

For instance, if you see a group of masters over a single slave, it doesn't actually feel like the masters are very powerful because naturally, it's easy for a group to overpower a single person. But a single person that overpowers an entire group? That's an achievement.
