Bondage suit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bondage suit is a garment designed to cover the body completely (usually including the hands and feet), fitting it closely, and often including anchor points for bondage. It often has an attached hood; if not, it will be worn with a bondage hood or "gimp mask". It may be made from any material, although leather, PVC, rubber, spandex and darlexx are the most usual. Leather (not being stretchy) cannot be as close-fitting as the others.
It is used in BDSM to objectify the wearer, or gimp, and reduce him or her to the status of a sexual toy, rather than a sexual partner. Unless there are suitably placed zips, the breasts and genitals will be inaccessible while the suit is worn (although they can still be massaged). While it sometimes differs from a catsuit, unitard, or zentai more in purpose than appearance, the typical bondage suit is black and of very tear resistant material (often reinforced by straps and barely stretchable) and includes integrated metal rings, belts, buckles and laces to fasten it and engage ropes or chains - e.g. to lift and hang the wearer under the ceiling.
Following usage of the term in the movie Pulp Fiction, it is sometimes called a gimp suit. Such suits are also depicted in the film The People Under the Stairs. Gimp suit is also featured in the video games Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Postal 2.
