Bondage itself does not necessarily imply sadomasochism. Bondage may be used as an end in itself, as in the case of rope bondage and breast bondage. It may also be used as a part of human sexual behavior, sex or in conjunction with other BDSM activities. The letter "B" in the acronym "BDSM" comes from the word "bondage".
