SEX HANDCUFFS AND RESTRAINTS

Safety always comes first! When it comes to using bondage handcuffs, you have to be smart. Communication is key – talk to your partner about your desires and boundaries, and make sure you have a safe word in case things get too intense. And start slow, especially if you're new to this whole BDSM thing.

Using restraints, such as sexual handcuffs, can be a way to establish a sense of control in a relationship. It can also provide an opportunity to explore different roles and dynamics. Some people find it liberating to let go of power or to break societal expectations by incorporating restraints into their experiences. The sensation of being restrained can feel comforting and secure, like a warm embrace. Additionally, the visual and tactile aspects of restraints can add an erotic element to the experience. Some individuals simply enjoy the feeling of certain materials against their skin, such as luxurious silk. For some, being physically immobilised can be a form of relaxation or meditation.

Our luxury wrist cuffs can be paired with a range of BDSM sex toys, including:

• Blindfolds: Add to the mystery of sexy play by blindfolding either yourself or your partner, leading to heightened senses and wondrous sensations.
• Floggers: For those who want to get right into submissive play, paddles or floggers add another physical sensation beyond being handcuffed.
• Rope: Further restraint mechanisms can be incorporated in kinky play sessions, to further tap into the power dynamic in a relationship.
• Gags:Gag toys, such as ball gags, hook gags and bridles, limit the communication methods of the gagged person, to engage with the sensation of restraint.

If you are a newcomer to the BDSM scene, you’re probably curious as to whether sexual handcuffs will hurt you or your partner, and if you should avoid them or not. The truth is, BDSM handcuffs are safe to use when you and your partner are aligned on what you want to achieve with them, and you play within your own personal limitations. If you’re brand new to BDSM, choose a pair of handcuffs that provide the opportunity to experience submissive role play while not causing discomfort. Leave the metal cuffs to the more seasoned BDSM veterans, and opt instead for a pair of silk or silicone bondage handcuffs.

If your bondage handcuffs become stuck, remember that it isn’t the end of the world, even if it feels like it. Reach for the key, or the inbuilt safety release, and try to remove the cuffs. Seek help from your partner if needed. If the handcuffs still don’t release, have your partner use a pair of safety scissors to release the material from your body.

Sex handcuffs don’t all use the same key but the mechanism is very similar. Opt for handcuffs with a safety release to ensure no issues.

Introducing the idea of using bondage handcuffs to your partner can be a daunting prospect, especially if neither of you have ever used them before. Essentially, the process boils down to consent, communication and boundaries being set by the two of you. Here are some tips to ensure uninterrupted fun while using your BDSM handcuffs:

• Keep an open mind during the conversation
• Be sensitive to your partner’s desires, as well as your own
• Discuss your interests and fantasies openly with each other
• Trust each other and consent to decisions made as a team
• Start with a less intimidating option, like silk or silicone handcuffs

If you want to take your experience with bondage handcuffs to the next level, you can incorporate a variety of other BDSM equipment and other adult sex toys. Blindfolds, bondage collars and BDSM masks can all be used to enhance playful experiences between you and your partner, giving way to wild desires and utopian fantasies.

While it’s difficult to stop in the heat of the moment, sometimes it’s best not to use a pair of kinky handcuffs. If the person to be cuffed shows any signs of discomfort, pain or fear, it’s best to give the cuffs a miss. Likewise, anyone with circulation issues, swollen body parts or injuries should not use sexy handcuffs.
