-----Bondage done properly is a way to encourage pleasure from another, generally by constricting their will and thus narrowing their options and thus soothing the cares of the mind away. Bondage is simultaneously sadistic and masochistic. However the balance of the two is the delicate art. Bondage thus extolls one to austerity and meanwhile teases with a very heightened sense of propriety, with crossing some boundaries very much a form of transcendentalism, with unity and heightened awareness the result. Mental bondage I am guessing is quite similar. It can result in heightened awareness, pleasure, and so on and it only depends upon latent sadism and masochism for providing the necessary aesthetic balance for teasing the intellect to such fullness. Glory to intellectual bondage. May we all be so pleasurably bound and teased. I know I am. I am happily married. I am certain that the history of most religions has something to do with bondage. I think instantly of Cain, I mean Able being sacrificed (ask Islam). Promethius. Jesus. A real bondage queen. Osirus. Didn't make out very well with the eight piece. Religions, nay Gods, are the very sources for bondage. Gotta love them. Teasing deities. Very naughty.
