Short answer
Yes, when you follow a few ground rules. Use soft, padded restraints that release quickly, never restrain or pressure the neck, never leave a restrained partner alone, and check circulation often. Agree on limits and a safe word beforehand, and keep blunt-tipped safety shears nearby. If you have health conditions affecting circulation, nerves, joints or breathing, ask a clinician what's comfortable for you.
