18(8)Bondage(2)

"Bhikkhus,a man binds a woman in eight ways.
What eight?
A man binds a woman by weeping
...by his smile
...by his speech
...by his appearance
...by a present
...by scent
...by taste
...by his touch.
A man binds a woman in these eight ways.
Those beings are thoroughly bound who are bound by touch."
