'''Hogtie bondage''' requires all four limbs to be tied together behind the back. It typically involves connecting a person's wrists and ankles behind the back using some form of [[Bondage (BDSM)|physical restraints]] such as [[rope bondage|rope]] or [[bondage cuffs|cuffs]], but may in some BDSM contexts also refer to the binding of arms and legs behind the back.<ref name="ASI"/> The binding may be loose with the ankles and wrists some distance apart, or more stringent with all four bound together even with the wrists and ankles crossing and being cinched to the knee or shoulder harness.<ref name="ASI"/>

A classic western hogtie would be made more stringent by binding together the elbows and binding together the knees.<ref name="ASI"/>

{{anchor|Frogtie hogtie}}A variation of the hogtie involves tying bound wrists to frogtied legs, providing the [[Sexual domination|dominant]] easier access to the [[Sexual submission|submissive]]'s crotch for sexual play.

====Safety====
The hogtie position places pressure on the abdomen of the tied person, which may create difficulty in breathing known as [[postural asphyxia]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://esinem.com/articles/safety/positional-asphyxia |title=Positional Asphyxia |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130715000509/http://esinem.com/articles/safety/positional-asphyxia |archive-date=2013-07-15 }}</ref> Care should be taken to ensure the person being bound can breathe easily throughout all stages of play.<ref name="shibari10-1safety"/> This is particularly important if [[Gag (BDSM)|gags]], [[Collar (BDSM)|collars]] or rope are used to create a more stringent tie.
