History Main / BoundAndGagged

* Happens in this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qac2MF5wrn0 Listerine commercial]]: Two special forces units rescue a BoundAndGagged hostage and then find out that her mouth smells horrible that they put the gag back and leave her as she was found: BoundAndGagged.

* Art sites, from Website/DeviantART to Booru sites or Website/{{pixiv}} usually has tags related to "Bound and Gagged" for [[RuleThirtyFour many fetish hunters to search.]] It doesn't matter about the victim's gender: While most commonly a DistressedDamsel is the target, you'll also find a plenty amount of DistressedDude drawn this way. Then there's also [[TakeAThirdOption both genders in distress, called 'Couple in Distress']], as well as those for the [[DudeLooksLikeALady not-so-clear]] [[LadyLooksLikeADude genders]]: 'Traps in Distress' (Scenarios of BadassInDistress is also pretty common for arts like this). It's considered by many artists as some sort of GuiltyPleasure and for the most part also tagged with 'NSFW', even if it doesn't include hardcore stuffs (like, for instance, emulating the 80's-90's shows which were rife with such BoundAndGagged scenarios).

* The opening vignette for ''TabletopGame/InNomine'' includes a (possibly) more benign use of the trope. The Cherub Tariel, assigned to protect the mortal woman Patricia, has to drive out to meet a contact but doesn't dare let harm come to his charge -- so he binds and gags her in the passenger seat next to him so he can keep her safe (making sure she's carefully seat-belted, of course).

* In the 3rd Edition of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', there's a Prestige Class called the Justiciar who's much like a bounty hunter who specializes in subduing an enemy without killing him; being able to tie a victim up is so important for this, having a high rank in the Use Rope Skill is a prerequisite. One Class Ability is called Hog Tie, which more or less let's the Justiciar tie an opponent up and render him helpless while grappling with him, usually ending the fight quickly. (Gagging is usually done after the victim is subdued.) High-level Justiciars have Improved Hog Tie which is, naturally, an improvement of the standard ability. (The Prestige Class is available to PlayerCharacters, as both good ''and'' evil Justiciars exist. Of course in this case, male victims can be as common as females, although seeing as the Justiciar has to ''fight'' the victim to use this ability, a female victim is rarely ever helpless initially.)

When a SnoopingLittleKid, DamselInDistress, or FauxActionGirl (or the occasional [[DistressedDude unlucky guy]]) is captured by the villain, they're usually restrained in some fashion, and to keep them from crying out for TheHero, they're usually silenced as well. In the olden days, this was usually accompanied by some form of fantastical DeathTrap to add to the suspense.

* If you go to sites like Website/DeviantART and input "Bound and Gagged" along with the name of any female character you want into the search engine, you should [[RuleThirtyFour get a lot of results]]. In fact, you could likely narrow your search down by punching one of the related Tropes above into it; most of them should work. Artists never seem to get tired of it.

Simple rope is popular among these villains. Others use handcuffs. Sedatives are rare unless the kidnapper uses it to do the initial nabbing. Some villains will invest in unbreakable chains made of {{Unobtainium}} to restrain a super-strong captive (and possibly [[FatalFlaw forget that whatever said chains are bolted to]] isn't made of the same stuff) or possibly include a PowerNullifier.
