Get that slave into a corset! What are you waiting for? You will find that using back-laced, tight corsetry in your sessions and lifestyle will enhance your pleasure, complementing and concentrating the feelings and sensations that you seek from your relationship with your partner.

First off, if you're the boss, consider wearing one yourself! The visual appeal to your bottom will thrill him, providing a sensory turn-on, and invoking a sense of powerlessness in the face of harsh, but sweet-smelling leather. Leather is recommended for the top's corset, as it not only symbolizes the severe and demanding dominance of the wearer, but provides a firm anchoring point on which to hang all the implements of misery upon which your ill-fated slave can focus and dwell (Oh Lord! What's next? Is she really going to use THAT on ME?). Of course, it also provides a mooring to make certain that your slave's mouth is in the proper place at the proper time!

The leather corset is seen as intractable--armor for the inviolate heart, which can only be accessed by the bottom when the mistress so wishes. It is a veritable patina of unforgiving hide, nearly impossible to penetrate. In addition, the taunting, unstated message to the slave is, "Well, if I can handle this tightness, then why should it bother you?" ("Why indeed," muses the hapless slave, trussed almost to suffocation, encumbered, not only with a snug corset, but all the other accouterments of bondage.) Finally, your corset adds another item to the list of duties to which she must attend. And, when your slave invariable fouls up the job, perhaps of tightening your laces incorrectly, her failure provides another "fortuitous" reason for you to punish her.

So just what are the reasons to tightlace your slave? They are as varied as the wonderful gags that he must endure. Psychologically, the effect is on the top AND the bottom. While your slave generally has little to say regarding the decision to wear the garment, the mere fact that she IS wearing one communicates to you a willingness to please. And, if the slave spends any time actually donning the corset herself, you could view that in the same spirit as "weaving the ropes of her own misery." There comes a certain satisfaction at the sight of a person invoking her own bondage.

And "bondage" certainly IS the key word here, as the wearing of stays, even when not otherwise bound, could be described as in "walking" bondage: She may be free to stroll about and interact, but her movements ARE restricted and she is fully aware of what she is wearing (and why), whether anyone else is or not--a constant reminder of her station. This can be very handy in social arenas outside of your circle of friends who share the scene. Many might suspect she is wearing something unusual, but cannot be certain (unless they ask). In any case, few people not "in the know" would ever even suspect the REAL reason for her gracefully stilted movement. But SHE knows, and so do YOU. It can be very exciting! Of course, the visual gratification for the dominant enforcer is pleasing indeed!

The physical considerations are significant as well. Consider, for example, how the addition of attaching devices on the garment can make your life easier: With the click of a padlock on an O-ring, your slave is rendered immovable. Such a setup is very handy for discouraging wayward charges at parties and other functions! This same hardware can expedite any binding with rope or straps in your normal pursuit of happy immobility. Backlacing prevents ease of removal; zippers or flaps with locking mechanisms may be ordered in order to totally prevent access to the laces.

Another useful feature of most ANY corset is its ability to provide firm mooring for dildoes (both anal and vaginal), chastity devices and clitoral stimulators. Certain shorter corsets equipped with crotch straps will provide powerful stimulation for the female slave when she realizes that the right hip movement will induce ecstasy. This is due to the fact that the corset itself is anchored to the waist, providing a sturdy point of pivot. The ability to attach straps to her corset will also prove handy as a means to ensure your slave cannot leave your succulent pleasure spot until she has COMPLETELY satisfied your needs.

Usually a threat to tighten your slave's corset laces will bring her into compliance when necessary. However, in those instances when your captive gives you reason to discipline (or even when he doesn't!), there exist a variety of techniques that you might employ that are unique to the corsetted slave. Perhaps her behavior calls for a little itch powder, strategically inserted into the tightest areas of stricture. Few things are as intolerable as the inability to scratch an itch. Or maybe a night spent in a full-length (chest-to-ankle) corset will teach your slave not to take you for granted.

Now let us discuss enemas. Ah yes! How much more difficult to hold the endearing liquid in one's bowels when embraced by the non-relenting pressure of a corset! Especially when the corset is applied AFTER the enema is introduced. "Hold that pose, my dear! Don't let go--or suffer the consequences!" Of course, when your poor beloved captive finally does let go, he can expect proper incentives applied to ensure that he is not so disobedient the next time you choose to so favor him (perhaps a tighter corset for the night!).

Corsetry in bondage inspires the mistress to implement a large degree of imaginative innovation. For example, if your dear is to have her arms raised behind her to an uncomfortable height, she will require something to take her mind off her predicament. What better way than to ascertain that her corset is tight enough to cause it to bend inward at the abdomen as her bondage forces her head toward the floor? She will not even notice the aching in her arms. She will be so very grateful! Only a very kind mistress would be so considerate!

There are times when you might wish to put your slave into a COMPLETELY immobile position (perhaps when applying a tattoo or for piercing) so as to prevent her from harming herself. A corset can help. Because the pressure of bondage is evenly distributed over the body, the ropes or straps can be much tighter than without the use of the garment.

And after a good spank, nothing feels better than the tight embrace of a thigh-length corset--the heat is retained and your friend cannot rub her bottom, which adds to the fun (for you, anyway!).

One must not overlook the novelty of a neck corset as well. It is a fashion accessory that, when coordinated with a fine pair of stays, will not only enhance your slave's vulnerability, but show her that you care about her proper fashion sense. There is little worse than a sloppily dressed servant, as such a display is a reflection on your good taste. Neck corsets can be made in the same materials and colors as the waist corset.

Now, if you are a dutiful master or mistress, you will want to expose you charge to the delicious rigors of tightlace training, i.e., the reduction of waist circumference as a life-style. Not only is this an exciting, fun-filled pastime, but the severe demands of such a regimen will bring your slave even closer to you, ensuring that you spend a large amount of "quality time" together. While the constant pressure on his waist will provide a certain discomfort at first, he will delight in the knowledge that he is doing something useful for his mistress. It also gives you another excuse to keep him trussed up for the night, something he will be sure to appreciate.

Proper corset training is accompanied by very specific requirements and sequence of events. If you wish a primer on such activity you might want to read my article entitled "Embracing a Labour of Love." This will give you a feel for what is necessary. Over time, as the corset molds th her body, she wil feel naked without it; ut will become am irksome, but welcome friend..

So, if you want to treat your slave in the best possible manner (and who doesn't?), while enhancing your own pleasure, make certain that she is always properly dressed in corsets! A proper corset will always remind her of you while you mind her for you. What a team!
