How to use "Fetter" in context?
Fetter is an essential part of bondage. It attaches the object being bound to the person binding it. Many styles of bondage involve the use of fetters in some form or another. Fetters can be as simple as handcuffs, ropes, or chains. They can also be more complex, such as a devil's loop. Regardless of their complexity, all fetters serve the same purpose: to keep the person bound firmly against their will.
There are countless ways to use fetters in bondage, and there is no single perfect configuration. The key is to find something that both you and your partner enjoy and that limits the freedom of your partner.
