When did you first realize you were into bondage?

I remember at a very early age of being drawn to damsel in distress images and playing various tie up games with childhood friends long before puberty set in.

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

I would describe myself as switch. Both dominant and submissive fulfill a need for me.

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

Personally bondage for me is an emotional desire. When I'm Dominant it allows me to fulfill the fantasy of being in control of my world. When I'm submissive it allows an outlet to let go of all the stresses of the world and just be in the moment. Both roles give me the ability to reboot and recharge. A good bondage session is far superior to any therapy that I could participate in.

Were lovers accepting of your interest in bondage?

I have been fortunate that every lover I’ve had has been accepting and willing to try on various levels.

Please briefly describe your first bondage experience.

As far as incorporating it into my sexual life that happened with my very first lover the very first time. I was shy and unsure of what I was doing yet she allowed me to tie her hands with a scarf. Ever since I've been hooked.

What was your best bondage experience?

That's a very hard question to answer. There have been so many wonderful experiences and I've been blessed with a partner that participates almost daily. If I had to choose one event I would have to say it was a time in my 20's when I was going through a rough time and met an older more experienced woman that really taught me a lot about myself and what bondage means to me.

What is the most creative safeword you have ever used?

I would have to say it's "lucky charms"

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

Goodness I have so many favorites depending on the mood. I enjoy very strict bondage and I'm really into gags. If I have to choose I would pick the 8830HS Wrap Around Panel Ball Gag Trainer.

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

Every man's fantasy is seems to always be a threesome. I suppose I'm no different. I would love for my partner and I to be able to have a female to play with and dominate. Wishful thinking ;)

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.
