Bondage is Bondage.... is it whips, ropes, chains or gag balls? That would be the only differences. Bondage relates to sexual gratification. Many try and spin art into bondage but I have never found it to be anything else other than a dominate and submissive role playing sexual gratification thing......not judging, just saying.
My question is, how can it mean anything different then what it is?

I don't get the sexual gratification vibe from the Bettie Page style bondage. It's simple ropes, not intricate. Maybe that's me. I don't really follow the bondage genre so I just looked up the work she refered to. Maybe everything you mentioned is exactly what my wife was thinking therefor the reason for her response.
I'm trying to get a feeling for a comfort zone of what I'd feel comfortable shooting. I've shot nudes at Rolando's workshop because I wanted to learn the art of photography as he teaches it. I'm not sure that's something I'd be comfortable doing outside a workshop environment. So to me, a clothed bondage seemed tame but I wasn't thinking about all the implied's you mentioned.
