R is for Restraints
Since the infamous Rabbit has already made an appearance in a previous post (I is for Ina by Lelo, in case you missed it), let’s explore another R-rated sex toy: Restraints.
For those of you interested in exploring bondage, restraints are a must. While you can DIY these with whatever comes to hand (silk neckties, anyone?), and some bondage enthusiasts actually hit up their nearest hardware store for their preferred ropes and chains, the easiest way to start off with sexual restraint is by buying a pair of handcuffs.
I’m not talking about your standard police-issue metal cuffs, either. (Who wants to lose the key in this all-too-played-out horror story plot? Not me!) I’m talking about a good quality leather or vegan-alternative restraint that looks something like this:
These Super Cuffs are made of neoprene with nylon straps and Velcro closures, and come with stainless steel D rings for hooking them together or to a headboard.
If those still look a little too much like a BDSM dungeon for your tastes, there are also the Tickled Pink Restraints:
These also use Velcro closures, and come with a 3-foot strap to tie your partner to most any available surface.
For those without a headboard, or who like to conceal their toys in a secret stash when not in use, there are Under the Bed Restraints:
No need to drill holes in the wall, install hardware hooks, or otherwise mess with your bed and get sweaty before sexytime. Just slide the connector under your mattress, hook on the wrist and leg restraints, and strap your partner down. When you’re done, you can easily tuck the restraints under your mattress until next time.
For those just starting out, these are all great options for restraint and roleplay. More dedicated bondage enthusiasts will likely yawn at these more mainstream restraints, but we’ve all got to start somewhere before becoming Asian rope bondage masters, right?
Speaking of which, here’s a great book on the subject:
Midori regularly teaches Rope Dojo workshops to share her knowledge of Japanese rope bondage techniques, which are both beautiful and sensual. To learn more about this particular type of restraint you can also grab a copy of her DVD The Expert Guide to Sensual Bondage with Midori.
Have you ever used restraints in the bedrom — or restraint or any kind?
