subject: Bondage For Beginners [print this page] In recent years, the term bondage has been an increasingly common trend amongst couples all over the world. More and more couples are ditching tame kisses and cuddles for ropes and chains but why? The main reason more couples are indulging in this once underground phenomenon is mainly to bring that romance and spice back into a marriage or a relationship turning tame. Bondage allows partners to completely let go of their inhibitions and try something completely new and different that they may never have tried before. This requires a great deal of trust within a relationship, and for most couples, its the intensity of closeness and trust within bondage activities that they love the most, allowing them to feel completely free of the restricting correctness of traditional relationships.
When it comes to bondage, you will be completely subjected to your partners every whim and desire. Spankers, tethers, collars and cuffs all play a vital role within beginner-bondage, allowing couples to feel the adrenaline rush that comes with letting go and being completely free from the chains of typical sociology. With bondage, your lover is helpless and at your mercy, but before you start going bondage crazy, its important to know a few things to ensure that you get the most out of your bondage sessions.
The first thing to remember is that safety always comes first. Before you break out the whips and chains, its important to know a few things to ensure that safety is paramount and that everybody ends up happy and satisfied, not in pain, battered, bruised and disappointed. Avoid using pantyhose, or even scarves, to tie up partners, these can often become tight very quickly, and difficult to undo in an emergency, so if youre a bondage beginner, avoid, avoid, avoid!
This tip comes hand in hand with rule number 1 never tie too tightly. At all times you should be able to place at least one finger or two fingers between skin and restraints with relative ease. Before you start, ensure that you or your partner is not suffering from any tingling or numbness from any of the restraints in use, if either of you are, immediately loosen the restraints. Another tip would have to be to keep a set of scissors near you at all times. EMT scissors are always recommended, especially for the removal of tape or rope from skin, a small step that may make a big difference.
Now, when it comes to gear, you have a range of different things to choose from, but dont get too carried away. If youre new to bondage but ready to throw yourself into it, then stick to basic bondage gear, however if youre a little nervous, starting with handcuffs or blindfolds is a fantastic and erotic way to get things going and set the tone. Some of the best bondage toys for beginners have to be simple hand and ankle cuffs, these are perfect for beginners as they are very easy to use and remove, and most come padded and lined for optimum comfort! Blindfolds are also a perfect addition to your bondage play, the old saying goes that if you loose a sense, your other senses are heightened, and this couldnt be truer, especially when blindfolds are involved. The loss of sight will heighten anticipation and adrenaline, as the person in question will have no idea whats coming next. And finally, spankers and spanker toys are certainly a must-have if youre willing to throw yourself into your new bondage endeavours, however, stick to casual, small spankers to begin with, then explore what else is available once youre both used to the idea and ready to take it a step further.
Nowadays, bondage is working its way into casual conversation, so its no longer a subject to be afraid of, whether its just using a blindfold, or tying up your partner completely, the thrill and adrenaline that comes with bondage is second to none, and definitely a must try for relationships that are beginning to fizzle out.
