Oh, no, you've wrapped me up with one loop of rope around my arms and torso, how ever will I escape?

^Biggest pet peeve. I mean, sometimes the gag is purely aesthetic, but in terms of being tied up so you can't escape, it's rare that the character is actually tied up.

This primarily deals with gags. For instance, it's very common for a character to get gagged with a single piece of duct tape, which a lot of people here probably already know won't usually hold for very long.
In other words, do you like everything to be realistic, or do you accept a little bit of a break in reality (since we ARE talking about fiction here)?

No one's introduction into bondage should be inescapable and strict. Film can (rather inadvertently) make tug's seem more inviting and innocent by doing this.
That being said, in films where there is already adult content and violence, and the situation is dire, the bonds should be realistic. Actors and actresses shouldn't be so forced into a scene that it has to be toned down with loosies, though actors and actresses should also be willing to do harmless things that are uncomfortable.

I'm not sure whether to take this seriously or as sarcasm.

Now, if a supposed 'Hollywimp' BSDM movie can't get it right, it becomes very embarrassing.
