Transform your sex life with Bondage Basics

Transform your sex life with Bondage Basics

By Ekaterina Mironova

Bondage might sound terrifying but it’s not all black leather and whips! Silk ties and suede cuffs can go a long way to transforming your sex life from mediocre to amazing in just a few short steps.

Trust your partner

Yes, you trust your partner – of course you do – but you have to stop and remind yourself that you’re willing to let them take control and that you trust them completely. Letting yourself go is as much a mental decision as it is a physical one, and this is a big step towards heightening the enjoyment of your bondage experience.

Choose bondage toys that work for you

It really isn’t all black leather and whips: choose bondage toys that work for you and your partner. Suede or fabric cuffs are a comfortable alternative to the fetishist leather varieties and can close with Velcro instead of buckles, and simple silk or satin restraints are easily removed by either party if you want to start off slow. Toys are a welcome addition to the bondage bed but if vibrators aren’t quite your style just yet, why not try a feather tickler instead?

Set the mood

If bondage is something new for you then make it special by setting the mood. Are you going to be blindfolded? Then turn the lights down low to make it more sensual for your partner, and embrace the traditional bedroom basics with candles for a flickering glow.

Try it on top

Not sure whether you want to tickle or be tickled? Try it on top, and find out what it’s like to be in control of the bondage situation. You may find that you love it. Restraining your partner can be a huge turn on as you control what they feel, what they hear, what they see – and ultimately, what you do to them. There’s nothing quite as sexy as watching your partner squirm in anticipation as you push them closer to the edge of orgasm.

Play dirty with a little slap and tickle

If you’re not sure where to start, why not try out a bit of slap and tickle with a play set designed exclusively for adults? Instruction cards give you tasks and tell you where to touch for the best tease, and a pre-packed set of Velcro restraints lets you explore your sexual side in a safe and comfortable bondage environment. This is ideal for the beginner bondage couple who want to experience what all the fuss is about with a little slap and tickle.
