Penile ligation is the binding or tying of the penis or foreskin. Historically, men in ancient Athens tied a string around their foreskins to protect the glans penis during wrestling matches. Māori men tied their foreskins as a show of modesty. In modern contexts, it can be used as a form of sex play or as a form of bondage.
