Whether you’re wanting to be tied to the bed and sensually caressed by your other half or you want to hogtie your lover and take total control over them, bondage is a huge interest to many of us.
Restraints play a massive part in the act of love for those that are into fetish play. But if you’re new to the world of bondage, it can seem a bit intimidating. Bondage can be for everyone; you just need to know what works for you.
From lightweight, budget style wrist and ankle cuffs to thick steel handcuffs, shackles and chains, being tied up and blindfolded while your partner takes your senses on a pleasurable journey can be incredibly erotic.
And if you’ve been naughty, bondage restraints are perfect for keeping you in place while your other half dishes out much needed punishments, such as spanking, wax play and other sadistic pleasures.
What type of bondage restraints are best for me?
If you’re a beginner and not sure whether bondage is for you, it’s best to start of with an affordable set of wrist and ankle cuffs. They can usually be tied to the bed posts using rope and offer enough resistance to let you wriggle and writhe around during your play. Add a feather tickler and a blindfold and get ready to explore new sensations and stimulation.
For real kinksters looking for something more intense, why not try something stronger? Steel restraints and handcuffs offer a great deal of durability and are usually chunkier and heavier, adding more to your bondage scene.
Can I use rope for bondage?
Yes you can. It’s best to use rope specifically for bondage. Other types of ropes can cause burns, irritation and discomfort, so get one that is made especially for use in the bedroom. Your wrists and ankles will thank you!
I’m new to bondage. Can you offer any tips for me?
Use a safeword with a partner and keep checking with them to make sure they are OK (especially if they are blindfolded or gagged). Some people use a traffic light system, with green indicating everything is good, amber meaning that things are getting close to the line, and red to say that they need to stop.
If using a blindfold, experiment with stimulation. Melt ice cubes over the body. Tickle sensitive areas with a feather. Use a massage oil to rub over the skin. The best thing about using a blindfold with bondage restraints is that it will heighten your captive’s other senses and keep them guessing what will come next…
