Getting into bondage can be intimidating, especially if you’ve never really experimented with sex. Don’t worry – it can actually be really rewarding and exhilarating. Especially with the right toys.
So, what do you need to get into bondage? I would suggest starting with some of the “bondage basics”.
Leather Handcuffs
This is a great first buy if you’re new to bondage. Starting out with something small, like having sex with your hands bound, is a perfect first step. Leather handcuffs are nice because they are fairly comfortable. You can wear them without having to worry about hurting your wrists.
Handcuffs are the perfect accessory because you can use them over and over again in a variety of different situations. They are definitely not the “one trick pony” of bondage gear. You get brownie points if you can find handcuffs that double as ankle cuffs – two toys in one!
Hoods
Hoods are the step above blindfolds and are great for heightening your senses. Don’t worry, you will definitely still be able to breathe through them! Your partner will love being able to dominate you while you are hidden in the hood. And you will love getting to experience every sensation without being able to see.
If you aren’t ready to make the jump to a hood, a blindfold or mask can do the trick as well. Just remember, no peeking allowed!
Not ready to go through sex without seeing? They also make a hood with cut-outs for your eyes and mouth – making it a little more useful for oral sex.
Gags
While these may seem intimidating, they are actually great for beginners wanting to get into bondage. The ball gags come in a variety of different sizes, so you can track down a small gag to start out with. This is perfect for keeping yourself quiet and letting your facial expressions communicate for you. Your partner will love being able to watch you squirm in silence!
Collar and Leash
Let your partner place a collar on you and attach a leash. Or, if you prefer, attach it to them and become the dominant! This is a great place to start within bondage because it doesn’t require too much strain. As long as you and your partner are gentle with each other (to begin with, at least), it will be perfect.
You’ll enjoy experiencing either the submissive or dominant side with the collar and leash – especially if you combine it with some of the other accessories.
Bondage Tape
This is a great one size fits all accessory for beginners. You can turn the tape into just about anything, making it one of the more useful accessories. It doesn’t pull at your hair or your skin, making it comfortable and safe. Have your partner tape your mouth closed or even use it to tie your legs apart, or to a bed frame. There are so many different uses, you will definitely want to have this in your beginner’s kit. It comes in a variety of different colors, too, so you can pick your favorite.
Whip or Crop
A whip or a crop is a must have for anyone wanting to get into bondage. For your beginner set, I would suggest choosing a whip with tassels at the end, also known as a flogger whip– this won’t pack as big of a punch (unless you really put some effort into it). You can also use it to tickle your partner while they have the hood or the blindfold on.
There you have it – the guide to beginning your bondage journey. All of these accessories are great basics that you can use alone or in conjunction with each other.
There are a thousand different combinations that you can create with your partner for a unique and thrilling experience. And remember, there are many more accessories to play with once you become more experienced with bondage. You’ll never be bored!
