A captive in bondage or BDSM play is the person who is tied up or imprisoned. Such a person will often, but not always, be a sub or bottom.
In general, a captive can always be regarded as a victim. The converse is not true, since a victim may be someone who is punished but not held captive. If the emphasis is on punishment rather than captivity, the term "victim" should be used.
In the Gor series of science-fiction novels by John Norman, a "captive" or "prisoner" is someone who is lawfully under the full control of another person (thus not illegitimately kidnapped), yet not legally a slave (see Gor - Dictionary).
