Bondage harness

[1] The harness typically consists of a series of leather straps, usually between 1 and 2 cm wide, attached together in such a way as to allow a person to "wear" the item.

The item is very closely associated with BDSM play, and is often immediately identifiable as being related to kink.

For this reason, it is sometimes worn publicly as a way to reference fetish culture and gain attention.

[2] Often the image of a person in a bondage harness is used in media as a trope for "someone into fetish play", such as in the Sin City comic book series.

The straps are then secured together – typically with a standard buckle such as that used on a belt to hold pants up.
