Mummification: Ancient Practices

To truly comprehend the modern concept of mummification in BDSM, it’s vital to first explore its ancient beginnings. Ancient Egyptians believed that preserving the body in its most intact form was essential for the soul to reach the afterlife, or Duat, where they would be judged by Osiris, the god of the dead. Mummification involved the removal of internal organs, dehydration of the body using natron (a natural salt), and then meticulously covering the body in layers of linen.

This process wasn’t just practical; it was meaningful. The wrapping of the body in tight, protective layers of material signified order, protection, and the promise of the afterlife. In a lot of aspects, this ancient binding has parallels with the concepts found in the world of BDSM mummification today—control, protection, and transformation.

In the modern world, mummification has taken on a different, yet similar meaning within the BDSM community. Mummification bondage includes binding the partner in various materials—typically plastic wrap, tape, or even latex—until they are completely bound.
