Bondage, Fetish, BDSM Toys, Gear, What To Buy

The world of BDSM can seem intimidating, even impenetrable to the uninitiated. The truth is that BDSM — which includes bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism — is more accessible than you think. You get to pick and choose how you play exactly to your preferences, and the options are endless: Just because you enjoy being blindfolded doesn’t mean you like receiving pain, or maybe the thought of being restrained makes you shrug, but you love being spanked. If you’re a BDSM beginner and are unsure of where to start, might we recommend the very beginning of the acronym? Bondage, or the sexual practice of restraining with rope, handcuffs, or whatever household items you have on hand, is a great way to dip your toe into seeing if you enjoy the power dynamics of BDSM.
