Start Your Checklist

Confinement play involving cages, cells, or closets represents an advanced form of psychological bondage that explores themes of captivity, control, and spatial restriction.

Confinement play requires exceptional communication, trust, and safety awareness. This practice is not for beginners—it requires extensive experience with lighter forms of bondage.

How Cages/Cells/Closets Works

Confinement bondage operates by restricting a person's freedom of movement through spatial limitation rather than physical restraints.

Techniques and Variations

Short-term, medium-duration, and extended confinement each have different requirements and risks.

Equipment and Tools

Purpose-built BDSM cages, modified furniture, dedicated playrooms, and safety equipment are essential.

Safety Considerations

Physical Safety

Ventilation, temperature regulation, position and circulation, claustrophobia, emergency access, and structural safety are critical.

Emotional Safety

Thorough pre-scene discussion, attentive monitoring, and extensive aftercare are essential.

Red Flags

Stop immediately for panic, breathing difficulties, overheating, numbness, dissociation, or safeword use.

Beginner's Guide

Build substantial experience with other bondage first. Start with brief trials, progress gradually, and maintain constant communication.

Discussing with Your Partner

Acknowledge the intensity, discuss specific concerns, establish boundaries collaboratively, and consider external education.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is confinement play safe?

Confinement play carries inherent risks that can be managed but not eliminated through proper technique and preparation.

What if I panic while confined?

Use your safeword immediately. The person managing your confinement should release you instantly.

How long should confinement scenes last?

Beginners should start with 2-3 minutes, progressing to 5-10 minutes of actual locked confinement only after multiple successful experiences.

What type of cage should I buy?

Prioritize larger cages with heavy-gauge steel construction, smooth edges, secure welds, and high-quality locking mechanisms.
