Light Bondage in the Bedroom: How to Introduce Bondage
Bondage can definitely add some spice to your love life, and light bondage is much simpler to introduce to your partner, since you can begin slowly and work your way into more dominating situations. Light bondage can generally mean that one partner is restrained, while the other has complete control over what’s going on.
Safety First
Light bondage does have some risks for the inexperienced. You can talk to your partner and decide on a word or phrase to use in case either of you become uncomfortable. If you or your partner uses the word, then the play stops immediately. If you are using rope for the scene, then untie it. You may want to talk to your partner about what happened, as well, so that you can avoid anything unpleasant in the future.
You should also be careful when choosing materials to use for light bondage. Pantyhose, scarves, and other lightweight, flexible materials can easily become too tight and cut off circulation. Instead of using these items, look at your hardware store for some lightweight rope that is about as wide as one of your fingers. There are nylon varieties of rope that aren’t too rough, and that are inexpensive to buy.
There are also some common sense rules to follow when beginning to experiment with light bondage. For example, you shouldn’t restrain your partner by the neck, and you shouldn’t leave your partner in restraints unless you are present in the room. Lastly, remove bonds immediately if your partner (or you) experience numbness, tingling, or pain in any area of the body. These signs can indicate a loss of circulation, which can potentially be very dangerous.
What Do I Need?
After becoming familiar with light bondage, you may find that you want to buy some light bondage gear to make the scene more exciting. Handcuffs are a classic part of bondage, and ankle cuffs can be used, too. Outfits designed for light bondage can also be exciting, and aren’t too intimidating for even the newest participant to use effectively. Masks are particularly effective in bondage, since they allow you to become an “anonymous dominator” in the bedroom.
If your partner is comfortable enough, then you may also want to try using a blindfold. Some people also prefer to use breakable bonds. For example, rather than using handcuffs or rope, you may find that both you and your partner are more comfortable using party streamers.
For More Experienced Users
There are hundreds of different toys on the market specifically made for light bondage. Some of these items have complicated clasps and closures, making it important for beginners to practice using them before bringing them into the bedroom. Items such as gags are generally unsafe, since your partner won’t be able to tell you if they need to stop.
There are many ways that you can bring light bondage into the bedroom, whether you use restraints, blindfolds, or other bondage gear.
