BDSM and bondage: how to start safely
BDSM is a game of trust: domination, submission, restraint or intense sensations, always consensual. There's no need to go all-in; a few accessories are enough to find out whether you like it.
Beginner accessories
- Handcuffs and blindfolds: the classic starting point, with soft lining so they don't hurt.
- Ropes and restraints: for restraint play.
- Whips and paddles: start with soft models and light strokes.
- Starter kits: several accessories at a good price.
Basic rules
- Talk beforehand about what you want and what you don't.
- Agree on a safe word that stops play instantly.
- Never leave a restrained person alone, and keep safety scissors nearby.
- Afterwards, take time to look after each other (aftercare).
