The [[Spreadeagle (position)|spread eagle position]] is also employed as a bondage position in BDSM play, sometimes horizontally otherwise vertically and even upside down. This is a comfortable position, the submissive lies face up on their back with all four limbs secured to the furniture. Face down would be called prone. The ties can be slack allowing movement or more severe. The position allows for total front access, but none to the rear, so it excludes spanking games. Penetration is limited by the low angle.<ref name="Jake">{{cite web |title=Bondage Position: Spreadeagle « Leather Cuffs and Silken Bonds |url=https://leathercuffsandsilkenbonds.com/2011/11/07/bondage-position-spreadeagle/ |website=leathe rcuffs and silken bonds |access-date=1 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190901234220/https://leathercuffsandsilkenbonds.com/2011/11/07/bondage-position-spreadeagle/ |archive-date=1 September 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>

===X-cross===
A standing or hanging spread eagle position can be achieved using equipment such as an [[X-cross (BDSM)|X-cross]] (also referred to as Saint Andrew's cross) or [[spreader bar]]s or with ropes or chains attached to different endpoints.<ref>{{cite web |title=Beginner's Guide to the BDSM Cross - Make St. Andrew Blush |url=https://www.lovense.com/bdsm-blog/bdsm-cross |website=Lovense |date=12 June 2019 |access-date=29 September 2019 |language=en |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190913034045/https://www.lovense.com/bdsm-blog/bdsm-cross |archive-date=13 September 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref> As an [[erotic humiliation]] technique, it forces the subjects to display their genitals and to provide access to the crotch, groin or anal region.{{citation needed|date=October 2019}}

For instance, a bed can be adapted using a restraints kit; webbing attached to leather cuffs is placed under the mattress. A ladder back chair offers anchor points for binding the legs high in the air, or behind.<ref name="legs up">{{cite web |last1=Redmayne |first1=Lazarus |title=Chair Tie – Legs-Up ③ – |url=https://www.theduchy.com/chair-tie-legs-up/ |website=TheDuchy |date=20 July 2019 |access-date=24 October 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191024213017/https://www.theduchy.com/chair-tie-legs-up/ |archive-date=24 October 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>
