Why is that?
For me, without a gag a tie-up isn‘t completed.

I have read that it is indeed often for the comfort of the actors, but not necessarily for letting them go to the bathroom. Filming often takes much longer than the amount of time that you see in the movie. There is an issue in filming called continuity. The filming of a five-minute scene might actually take hours for various reasons - retakes, technical issues, etc. As an extreme example, for the film "Whispers in the Dark", Annabella Sciorra says she was bound and gagged for twelve hours. Yet the appearance of the bonds and gag at the end of the scene must be the same as it was at the beginning. The easiest way to achieve that is: don't release and retie. Being tightly tied and gagged for five minutes is one thing. Enduring it for three hours is quite another. A second consideration: time is money. Even if they could exactly duplicate the appearance of the bonds and gag, doing so takes time - and there are a whole lot of people on the clock while that's going on.

I agree with Kauron. My other gripe is when someone is not gagged.

He tried to tie me up with CUT UP T-SHIRTS and tried to GAG me with MASKING TAPE.....
MASKING TAPE....
Bless his heart. That scene only lasted thirty minutes.

Good young damsel scene can be found in Flashpoint Through a Looking Glass Darkly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFXO78N_WSo
