7 Types of Gears for BDSM Play

BDSM is a sexual sport requiring a disrespectable wardrobe and, more importantly, a wide range of accessories. Hence, it doesn’t pack light. The following is a summarized list of BDSM gears couples may want to stock in their adult toy box.

1. Restraint Gear Bondage

Equipment is a defining part of BDSM sex-play. Couples can invest in leather wrist and ankle restraints. An under-the-bed restraint system, either professional or improvised, is essential. High-quality rope—the type used in BDSM rope binding—should also be on your wish list.

Another option is to visit a fabric store and purchase several long, skinny lengths of fabric to use in lieu of rope. This lets couples experiment with the way different fabrics feel against the body and the genitals. It also helps a female submissive look her best and most fashionable even under BDSM duress.

Specially designed BDSM suspension equipment such as cuffs is available. While cuffs are a great item to have, small lengths of rope or fabric can be tied to regular door hooks and then wrapped around the submissive’s wrists to secure his or her arms overhead. A shower rod can also be used to hold up a submissive’s arm. Arm binders offer added excitement and visual appeal. Leg-spreader bars—a rigid bar with ankle cuffs on either end—add a distinct style to the bondage experience.

2. Sensory Deprivation Gears

Sensory Deprivation Gears deliver extreme sensation. Restricting one sense amplifies the remaining others. In this case, a blindfold is a mandatory BDSM accessory, while hoods, muzzles and mouth gags are optional for beginners.

3. Personal Lubricant

Personal Lubricant is a must for BDSM plays. Good-quality personal lubricants are helpful during sex-play. A thick artificial personal lubricant is essential when engaging in anal play or penetration. Remember to choose one designed specifically for anal sex. Water-based lubes are generally best and are compatible with most sex toys, including those made of latex and silicone. Silicone-based lubes are ideal for aqua sex. However, it will break down toys made of silicone. Oil and petroleum-based lubes can cause staining and give rise to infections. Hence, these are not recommendable.

Some personal lubes have warming or cooling properties in addition to lubrication. These can be used during intercourse or to enhance manual stimulation of both men and women. Other personal lubricants pull double duty as a massage lotion, although these do not tend to be as good as real massage oil.

Vibrators are non-intimidating, versatile and effective. It is the classic sex toy used to tease the nipples and the genitals. On women, a vibrator can provide a vibrating sensation to the clitoris and then slips inside the vagina for internal pleasure. On men, a straight vibrator can be rolled along an erect shaft and over the glans. Likewise, use it to stimulate the prostate by rolling it over and under the scrotum then press it against the perineum.

5. Spanking Toys

Spanking Toys are essential elements of BDSM Plays. Erotic spanking is a hallmark of BDSM and impact toys maximize sensation while exploiting the power imbalance between the dominant and submissive. A wide variety of both BDSM paddles and improvised items, including kitchen utensils are usable.

6. Flogging Instruments

Use flogging Instruments like canes and whips, especially whips with long tasseled ends, instead of or in combination with, spanking tools to increase the sensation and truly immerse partners in the BDSM experience.

7. Ticklers

Ticklers come in a variety of styles and materials. They can be as expensive and exotic as ostrich or peacock feathers. Then again, inexpensive feathers on a maid’s common duster also works. When combined with bondage and restraint, tickling allows a dominant to subject a submissive to delicate erotic torture.

While you might substitute low-cost, readily available G-rate items during play, restraints and erotic aids are fundamental to BDSM sex-play. Newcomers with a little imagination plus a dirty mind should not hesitate to visit a sex shop or make a XXX online purchase.
