❤️ The 3 Rules of BDSM - Safe, Sane, and Consensual!

Before you start jumping into the boundless world of bondage, there are some things you should know first. Regardless of what form of BDSM you try, you need to make sure that you are comfortable with everything.

There needs to be deep trust and open communication between you and your partner. If you don't have that, it may not be a fun or enjoyable experience. Moreover, BDSM isn't always about pain and abuse. BDSM covers a wide range of “taboo” sexual acts. This could be spanking, teasing, roleplay, or bondage. You should discuss with your partner what each of you is comfortable with before you start a session. Figure out what is okay and what's off-limits. This can help take away some of the fear of the unknown of what's going to happen.

Additionally, you need to set up a safe word. It doesn't always happen, but things can get intense in BDSM or bondage sessions. Try and find a word you normally wouldn't say during sex. This way if you say it, your partner really does know that you're serious and want to stop. A simple green/yellow/red would suffice so as to ascertain the intensity of the sensations. Green goes for great, yellow for neutral, and red for hell nay. That's why it's important to have a safe word if you no longer feel comfortable in the situation.

😈 Time to Get Real Naughty Real Fast with the Use of Handcuffs

Of course, both cuffing and being cuffed come with their own etiquette, in which consent and communication are key. Discussing boundaries can even be a form of dirty talk in itself, going through detailed scenarios with your partner. You’ll need to pick your position, which there is an endless variety of. Based on this position, the hands can go behind the back, above the head, or attached to a bed. Cuffs should be tight enough that they won’t come off, but not so tight that they fully cut off circulation and cause direct discomfort. As previously mentioned, please be sure that you and your partner establish a safe word in case a boundary is crossed. Set the scene; seduce and relax with your partner. Light candles, kiss and build the anticipation of what’s to come. A slow build makes your body more reactive to sensations.

Sex handcuffs are a great way to experiment with the world of BDSM for the first time, or a way to expand your repertoire if you’ve already dabbled in the world of doms and subs. In the world of kink, sex handcuffs are an approachable add-on to your play session. The Dom or dominant person is the one in control, while the sub or submissive individual is the one in cuffs.

🍑 Putting Your Handcuffs On

Before anyone gets handcuffed to anything, you need to pick your position. Whether you want your hands tied above your head, behind your back, or to the bedposts, the options are endless. If you’re the one being retained, you’ll have to rely on your partner to position you in your chosen cuffs. With your discussion beforehand, you should both be quite clear about what everyone wants and is comfortable with.

Starting with either yourself or your partner laid on your back, and restrained with hands above your head, is a simple and pleasurable position to start in. Whatever you want to do once you're in position, is totally up to you. But we'll leave you free to get into loads of awesome sex positions. It also means that you can explore erogenous zones and both give and receive oral sex.
