If I were to take a guess, sexual bondage likely originated somewhere in Japan.
I have ocs or whatever

I'm fairly confident that this fetish predates the written word. A quick Google search tells me that it sprang into being in multiple, totally separate places all around the globe. Probably grew out of humanity's natural pack instinct or something.
As for non-sexual tie-up games? Probably showed up at the same time games themselves did, meaning they likely also predate the written word.

(My "research" was five minutes with Google, so anyone who cared to could undoubtedly come up with something more accurate/thorough.)

I suspect that bondage predates written records by many thousands of years, and perhaps began while we were still evolving into modern humans. In times where the population was lower, humans may have been less quick to kill one another since people don't just pop out of the ground fully ready to carry out tasks and contribute to groups' resource needs.

Someone who was being difficult would be more than likely restrained. Even in american indian societies, people were exiled for committing grave crimes instead of facing execution. Of course many of these exiles wouldn't make it without a support group, so it was a bit of a death sentence so-to-speak.

I also often wonder if mummification wasn't practiced as a recreational activity in places where it was a death-rite. The feeling of being wrapped up and unable to move seems to be something hardwired to some degree. So aside from prisoner taking, it may have been used as a after-work activity.
To tie or be tied? I'm not one to care as long as there are gags!

Throughout history bondage has been around and talked and written about. Punishment on British ships was a severe gag, the Marquee DeSade was famous in teh 18th century, and when one looks at old torture methods bondage was very much involved and you have to think the invetors had bondage in mind.
