Never thought of it exactly like that before. So, "in a bind" bondage. It's sort of like saying double bondage. But to think of it, it's like you're bound in two ways, both the body and the mind at the same time. You have to choose between which type of physical pain, and sometimes decisions are hard enough on their own.
Definition of predicament
noun
Definition: a difficult or embarrassing situation from which there is no easy way out, especially when a tough choice must be made
Tips: When you're in a predicament, you're essentially "in a bind." It means that you're in a difficult situation which you can't easily get out of. You may also have to make a choice between two things, neither being very good. Predicament is synonymous with quandary and dilemma.
A predicament is a difficult situation where you have to choose between two unpleasant options. Bondage refers to being controlled by an outside force, but not necessarily a physical one. Predicament bondage is typically viewed as being tied up and having to choose between multiple painful positions, but the term can be used as widely as any situation where a person is forced by an outside power to make a decision between two unpleasant options.
There is a prank where a person walks into a room with a chair, a glass of water, and a broom. They ask the other person to assist them, and then stand on the chair with the glass of water. They ask the other person to push the broom handle up against the bottom of the glass so that it is trapped against the ceiling. Then, they get down, take the chair with them, and leave the room. This then puts the other person in a situation where they have to choose between waiting for someone else to come in and help them, or spilling water all over the floor and possibly themselves, with the consequence of cleaning up the water.
Since the meaning can be taken so broadly, it is important to point out the motivations for different scenes.
Motivators:
Attempting to please a partner
Attempting to obey an order
Avoiding disappointing a partner
Avoiding physical discomfort
Avoiding humiliation
The most commonly used motivator is typically to avoid pain of some type. This can be accomplished with rope, or by letting the bottom know that if they fail at the proposed difficult/impossible task, there will be X punishment. The motivation can be as simple as letting the bottom know that if they do not complete the task/hold the position/any number of actions that the Top will be displeased/unhappy/disappointed in them. Two or more of the same or various motivators may be used.
A common example online is to tie a string from the bottom's foot to their genitals or nipples so that standing is painful or impossible, and then give them a task that requires walking around, standing up, or reaching something on a high shelf. If they walk around stooped, there is less pain, but they look stupid and feel embarassed. If they walk upright, the pain may be unbearable.(Blog Story)
The following website has many various examples and ideas involving predicament bondage. (Wiki-Practical Predicament Bondage) Some of the classic ones involve being tied with ice underneath the bottom so that if they move into a difficult to maintain position, they can avoid the cold, as well as having arms outstretched with a lit candle underneath so that both positions will be severely painful in a short period, and tying the bottoms arms so tightly above their head that it pulls if the don't stand on their toes, variations including having something painful under the person's feet - rice, an egg, and ice are listed as possibilities.
Another website with a lot of ideas is edenfantasy.com.
When planning a predicament bondage scene, it is important to consider the desired outcome. Is the scene intended to break the will of the bottom so that they will submit to another painful option? Is the scene intended to be fun and arousing for one or both parties? Will it simply continue until the bottom is worn out and can't handle anymore? Is there a way for the bottom to transcend the situation, or find a way out? The purpose of the scene can help decide what the desired outcome will be. Since many predicament bondage scenes are sexual in nature, the typical outcomes are either to continue until the bottom is too weak to resist a hard fucking (devicebondage.com or most porns) or until they agree to do some unpleasant sexual favor. (Bondageblog.com, story)
When involving rope, it is important to add (as many websites have warned) that the bottom may struggle immensely when being tortured during a painful predicament scene, so a form of quick release is very important.
Also important to note is that on fetlife, a lot of people misspell predicament as "perdicament" and it can be very annoying.
