A frame in a BDSM or spanking context is a solid structure to which a person may be tied or cuffed as a form of bondage, or to recieve a spanking, caning, or whipping. A person may also lie across or upon the frame to be spanked, the frame thus serving as a form of spanking horse.

Frames are usually made of wood, or, in rarer cases, of metal.

[edit] Types of frame

There are several types or designs of frame in use.

[edit] X-frame

Perhaps the most common type of frame is the X-Frame or St. Andrews Cross. This consists primarily of two diagonal beams, plus additional supporting structure to hold them firmly in position. An X-frame will often be built against a wall, although it can stand freely with an appropriate supporting structure to replace the wall.

[edit] A-Frame

Another common type of frame is the A-Frame, also called a caning frame because it is often used for caning. In this design there are two diagonal legs meeting at a point at each end of the frame, with a brace between each pair of legs, and beams running between the corresponding legs from the two sets. The design is much like a saw-horse (except usually higher and possibly longer) or like an artist's easel. Viewed from the end the frame, it has the shape of a capital letter "A". A bottom can be bent over the frame, with wrists secured to the legs on one side, and ankles to those on the other. Or if the frame is taller, the bottom can simply lean agaist it, secured or not. In either of these positions the buttocks are well presented for spanking or other forms of corporal punishment.
