Bondage – Arguably my favorite of all the kinky sex games! “Tied, bound, tightly, held down, forced to stay still” – these little words seem to spark my libido every time. And although bondage is often combined with other, often painful, sex games it certainly doesn’t have to be. In fact tons of people enjoy bondage without ever incorporating pain into their sex lives at all.

Unfortunately movies, books, and other widely published media rarely separate out one form of BDSM play from another, and successfully mush everything together into one scary-ass picture of a leather clad dominatrix slapping a helpless pudgy-bellied guy with an even scarier looking flogger.

And we in the BDSM community wonder why so many people run off screaming into the night at the first mention of bondage! (Shocking!) But for roughly every three who do run off screaming, there will be one brave soul who stays. And it certainly doesn’t take that soul long to figure out those flimsy metal cuffs with the fuzzy pink stuff around the edges (you know the kind I’m talking about) are much more for playful decoration than for safely keeping a lover in place.

Sure they may be a great way to “test the waters” with someone new – but for any real bondage enthusiast, those little fuzzy things get chucked to the back of the toy drawer very quickly, making room for a dazzling array of safer and much more interesting bondage gear.

Bondage Gear Worth Checking Out:

Under the Bed Restraints – COOL! These things turn any bed into an easy bondage fantasy play-scape. The concept is so simple, I don’t know why there aren’t more of them around. High-quality leather wrist cuffs are attached by a long strap that goes under any mattress, so that once attached, the wrists are held in place all by themselves. The same is done for the ankle cuffs. For those who enjoy having their partners bound spread eagle but don’t have a four-poster bed to attach the cuffs to, this is a perfect and portable solution. Of course you can adjust the length of straps to fit any sized mattress as well as to adjust the “tightness” for your partner.

Love Web – Similar to the restraints above, but taken to a whole new level! The lover’s web is another bed/mattress attachment that allows you to secure your partner’s wrist and ankle cuffs to many different places. It gives you more control and many more options than the simple restraints above. With this “web” you can place your lover in almost any bondage position – not just spread eagle.

Over-the-Door Restraints - Another simple but oh-so-effective bondage idea! All you do is place the weighted straps over the top of any door and close it. Once the person is attached to the cuffs, they can pull and yank all they want, but the weights aren’t going to get over the door. Judging by the amount of positive user reviews this thing has received the cuffs are very comfortable, and the straps can hold a lot of weight – which means they won’t break and ruin your carefully planned moment. Oh wait – you don’t need a careful plan with this! Just pop ‘em in your purse or briefcase and you can have a devilishly great time when ever opportunity knocks…

Thigh Cuffs – Tired of wrist and ankle cuffs all the time? Want a little more control over how far apart your partner “spreads ‘em”? Thigh cuffs are a great little gadget that lets you tether their thighs to whatever you choose. It’s a little more intimate and controlling I think. Plus, thigh cuffs usually come with wrist cuffs so you can attach wrists to thighs. Just think of the delicious possibilities…

Bondage Sheets - For the ultimate bondage enthusiast out there! A sheet set with cuffs built right in, why not? You don’t have to bother searching for your various cuffs and accouterments, just lay your lover down and tease away.

Now that you’ve seen these wicked creations in all their glory, does bondage really seem that scary anymore? I hope you’ve gotten at least one new idea from this article, and feel comfortable exploring the tantalizing possibilities of bondage beyond those silly fuzzy cuffs!

After all, I didn’t know many of these things existed until I did a bit of research, so I figure at least some of them will be new to you too. I’m always happy passing along the naughtier bits of life to you guys…
