Something that's been on my mind for a while now....

This might sound very weird and gross, but for me, my intro, and eventual fascination for bondage started when I watched Disney's Aladdin and Sleeping Beauty. At first the two scenes of capture and bondage were more frightening than anything, but as time went on I found myself fascinated. The idea of the damsel in distress had already been an idea that I was familiar with, and after watching Aladdin I always wished that it had been Jasmine who'd gotten tied up instead. But Sleeping Beauty was the first time when I'd seen a female dominate a male, albeit with lots of help from her minions. I found myself, when I got older, watching the scene for the little details of the animated sequence. The choreography of it was astounding to me, watching how the fight played out, even as the cutaways forced us to guess what happened in that space of time. And then of course Maleficent's little gloats as she smiles over her captive. After a while it became more exciting, and the underlying bondage element is astonishing to me considering when it was made.

It's actually led me to rethink Maleficent in a way I'd never imagined before. She could have captured Phillip with magic, she could have teleported him to her castle. But no, she orders her minions to physical subdue and bind him while she has a front row seat to the excitement. And she clearly enjoys the sight. And since she's a highly stylized looking villain in a 1950 movie, could this be a conservative demonizing of fetishes?

I think lots of kids discover tie ups by seeing it happen in shows or movie they watch. Before I got into this I always found those scenes interesting though I didn't get why. On Tv ''captured'' always meant tied gagged in my book and I would be a bit surprised when that wouldn't happen.

As for the second scene you mentioned, never saw it :big: But unless there's a clear ''rape'' subtext involved it wouldn't say you should be grossed out for liking or overthinking it.

Well there's absolutely nothing wrong about getting sexually aroused by cartoon characters if that's the issue.

Overall this isn't like a bad thing. The reason my bondage fetish started was daphne from scooby doo. Ohhhhhhh damn back then i didn't have any idea why I loved seeing her tied and gagged. Well now I do and I'm just proud of it.

I've been coming here long enough to know movies and TV shows, especially cartoons, are a bit source of where many kids first develop an interest in this sort of thing. They certainly helped spur my interest, although I can't point to one in particular that did it, just more of a general thing.

With most people it was Alladin though I actually forgot about that one for quite some time.

I think mine where inspector gadget and the adventures of sonic the hedgehog. Penny and Tails got tied up a LOT.

@ Chris12 Penny was certainly a damsel in distress that I remember enjoying (though I think that stopped ever since she and I stopped being the same age). Another obvious one was when Catwoman was tied up in Batman TAS.

@ NoMeansYes. That's one of the scenes, yes. But honestly I haven't really re-visited it much. The far more fascinating scenario for me when I was younger and discovering my fascination for bondage is this scene. (sorry for the bad quality) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt_bGUXRsKQ Watching this scene now, it's just so obvious and clear to me that Maleficent is an unannounced dominatrix. She could have used magic to teleport Philip to her castle, but she instead sets up an elaborate ambush where she gleefully watches a handsome young man captured, bound, and gagged. She then checks him out and keeps him chained in her castle. It astonishes me even now that Disney put scenes like this into his movie. Then again it could be that dirty part of my mind coming to ridiculous conclusions....

I'm still waiting for you to describe the very weird and gross part you mentioned. So far, it all sounds perfectly normal to me. :D

Well then I guess I overestimated the strangeness of it.
