Bondage Sex Explore the world of sensual bondage and erotic power play!
Humans have been addicted to bondage sex for as long as there have been things they can tie to each other. But how can you do BDSM safely? What exactly do you need to know to try this ancient practice?
What is bondage sex?
Bondage is a branch of BDSM that refers to the act of tying up or restraining a sexual partner. While the mention of bondage is likely to elicit a giggle, fantasies of bondage and teasing, or at least some form of bondage, with a sexual partner are far more common than even the most conservative person might think.
Bondage has always been a fixture of erotica and art, such as Fifty Shades of Grey. Suddenly, BDSM was everywhere, and the film even inspired a spike in sales of dilator sex toys. But why is bondage sex so enticing? It's a combination of psychological and physical stimulation - the adrenaline rush of struggling in bondage is multiplied by the sensuality of being blindfolded. Think of it as a sexual extreme sport designed to heighten your pleasure and that of your partner.
What is BDSM?
BDSM is an acronym used to refer to certain aspects of sex that fall into the following broad categories: bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism. Overall, these terms refer to various forms of power play, a mix-and-match approach to sex. Some of the more standard behaviours and activities include being tied up and teased, being handcuffed, spanked, whipped or caned, and indulging in "slave play" where the submissive may be at the mercy of the dominant.
BDSM, Consent and Safe Language
Informed consent between individuals is key to safe BDSM play. One of the most important things to do before starting play is to set up a safe language - anything from "apple" to "pen" - so that you and your partner know when it's time to take a break. It's also important to discuss which behaviours you think you want to do and which ones you definitely won't enjoy. Some may argue that the novelty may be lost by spelling everything out, but safety always comes first. When it comes to bondage behaviour specifically, Beginner Rope Bondage and Light Bondage Sex are both good options. Until you have more experience, avoid overly extreme acts such as Anal Bondage or Bedroom Bondage. Be sure to familiarise yourself with the correct techniques to avoid injury. With the right preparation and communication, bondage can add passion to your sex life.
