Please tell us a little bit about yourself – How would you describe your everyday vanilla life?

Chad: I work for a large engineering firm. Mostly in the office but I get to play around outside for work from time to time. I enjoy fishing, golf, and still play online video games with friends

Keri: I work for a large pharmaceutical company but I love being outside, working out, going to the beach and traveling

When did you first realize you were into bondage?

Chad: I was probably 15 or 16 and Ican’t pinpoint any exact moment or scenario. Just kind of developed over time

Keri: I had no idea I was into bondage until I met Chad. We were talking on the beach very early in our relationship about friends into bondage and he asked me if I wanted to give it a try

How you best describe yourself and why? Your choices are: Dominant, Submissive, Switch or Fuzzy Rainbow Unicorn.

Chad: I always thought I was dominant but Keri brought out my submissive side as we've experimented together so now a switch for sure!

Keri: Predominantly submissive but when I put chad in chastity my dominant side really comes out.

Do you feel that your desire for bondage is more physical or emotional? (please elaborate)

Chad: Definitely both...I mean it feels great physically, but emotionally its really made us learn and trust each other on a different level.

Keri: Both, it not only pushes my physical limits but it also pushes my emotional limits and I find it extremely meditative and helps me relax

Were lovers accepting of your interest in bondage?
Chad: Not really, but I never really opened up fully until I met Keri

Keri: N/A

Please briefly describe your first bondage experience.

Chad: My high school girlfriend and I tied each other up a little. We both enjoyed it but never took it any further than that

Keri: We planned to have my first experience one Friday after work. We talked about it so Iwouldn’t be nervous. He was going to tie me up spread eagle to the bed. I got so nervous on the way to his house Iwouldn’t let him tie my feet up! Little did I know what I was in for in the future.

What was your best bondage experience?

Chad: I made our vacbed myself. I didn’t want to pay 500 or 600 dollars for something I knew I could make for about 80. And the first time I saw Keri’s amazing body sucked in there I almost had a heart attack.

Keri: Mine actually happened this week. We just were hooking up in our room (normal) then chad stopped and forced me into our vacbed! After some MAJOR tease and denial, I was already in subspace, then he took me back to our room, tied me up to our bed and continued his tease and denytillIdidn’t even know where I was. I see colors when he gets me like that. It’s really strange but cool at the same time.

What is the most creative safeword you have ever used?

Chad: Most of the time our bondage includes some sort of gag so we settle for a certain tone or series of grunts

Keri: See above

What do you feel is most important about the experience of bondage?

Chad: Being close with, and trusting, your partner, and being able to talk about every desire either of you may have without judgement whatsoever. Plus being so anxious and excited all day when you have a sexy night planned

Keri: I agree with Chad, along with the relaxation that comes during and after orgasm. It’s unlike anything in the world.

What is the best advice you would give to someone just starting out with BDSM?

Chad: Be honest early! I was fearful of telling Keri about some of my desires but she was so accepting and so excited to try some of the things I talked about! And we have been getting closer and closer every day since

Keri: You can start slow if you want! You can make it as tame or as wild as you want it to be. It really does make you closer so I say go for it.

What is your favorite gear, toy or lingerie item from sub-shop.com and why?

Chad: I have a tie. One is the forced orgasm harness. The absolute erotic fear Keri has in her face when that thing slides on her when she is bound standing up is amazing!!! And we bought a male chastity device, which we've started to use on me. She's taken me to 2 weeks already! I did not understand the emotional and physical changes that would happen when you are denied for a long period of time! Wow,I could write a whole article just about that.

Keri: Mine are exactly the same as what chad said. I love to watch Chad struggle through being denied but still having to please me. He acts so different (in a good way) when he is locked up.

What is the one sensual fantasy you haven’t lived out yet that you are excited to try?

Chad: Exploring my submissive side. It really, really comes out when she has me locked up. And I never knew that was even a part of me until I met her

Keri: Bondage in a public place really excites me.

Meet Bandit
Bandit is a male switch. For him, BDSM is something that is at his core, he can't wake up without wanting to tie up his wife or wanting to have his wife tie him up and be exceptionally dominant towards him. He considers his desire for BDSM is more emotional than just physical pleasure. He believes that BDSM makes a different kind of bond (no pun intended) between the Dom/Sub/Switch than what plain vanilla sex does. The best advice he can give to new bondage enthusiasts is to not just jump into it, and definitely don’t do it with just anybody. The bonds you make from sex is unbreakable and BDSM creates a stronger link than that. His favourite toy from Sub-shop is a mice ball gag with a metal ball or a foxtail butt plug, both are a staple in his repertoire and never lack in the excitement department.
