Enhance Your Fetish And BDSM Sex Experiences With High Quality Bondage Restraints And Bondage Harnesses
A bondage restraint or bondage harness is a series of leather straps, typically between 1 and 2 cm wide, attached together in such a way as to allow a person to "wear" the item. The item can be worn by both men and women. However, modifications may be needed depending on which sex wears the item. The item is very closely associated with BDSM play, and is often immediately identifiable as being something to do with "bondage" when depicted. Often, the image of a person in a bondage harness is used by movie studios to provide a chiché of a "person into fetish play". Other publications have also been known to use this cliché, a good example being the comic book series and movie "Sin City", which has one of its characters wearing a bondage harness.
Ankle and wrist stocks have been used as restraining devices for many hundreds of years, with examples finding their way into museums and displays. Stocks have a simple concept - to restrain an individual's ankles, wrists and/or head between the material used to form the stock assembly. There are three basic categories of stocks: little stocks, box stocks, and frame stocks. Little stocks are more mobile than the other two categories, while frame stocks are the largest of the three classifications. Frame stocks can have their own dedicated frame (the stock is a piece of freestanding furniture), or be mounted in a doorway, at the head/foot of a bed, on a horse, etc. When used in BDSM, stocks can have many purposes, from limiting mobility and personal freedom, to holding an individual secure as a form of discipline, for sexual stimulation, medieval role playing or sexual role-play and any variation in between.
A bondage bed is a bed designed for bondage and BDSM play. The design typically falls into two main variants; a standard bed designed primarily for sleeping on but which has purpose built attachments for bondage, and a table-like piece of furniture with a padded top and multiple fixing points around it. This second variant is purely designed for bondage and would be part of a purpose built dungeon. Needless to say, most ordinary beds can be used quite successfully for bondage with little or no modification. Iron bed frames are however particularly suited due to their inherent strength and large number of attachment points. As well as the high street bed retailers there are specialist BDSM equipment suppliers selling bondage beds. Most are designed to be installed in a normal bedroom and usually look quite innocent (if a little gothic) to the casual observer. It is also possible to get beds with cages built into the base of the bedframe where the submissive can be kept while the top sleeps above.
Bondage cuffs are restraints designed for the practice of consensual sexual bondage. They are wide wrist and ankle restraints generally made of leather, often padded with soft leather or fake fur. They are secured around the wrist or ankle, and the cuff is then attached to another cuff or other object.
A bondage wheel is one of the largest (and most expensive) pieces of SM equipment found in a BDSM dungeon. It consists of a large vertically mounted rotating wheel to which the bondage subject is strapped. In this respect it is similar to a Saint Andrew's Cross. The difference is the bondage wheel can be rotated allowing the subject to be turned upside down. The subject can either be strapped facing the wheel (suitable for whipping) or facing out (for genital access). The wheel body has various straps for restraint and normally also attachments for extra rope bondage. There may also be foot rests, hand holds and a head support.
In a BDSM context, a collar is a device of any material placed around the neck of the submissive partner. It is also a term used to show ownership of a submissive by a dominant. The most common material is leather, and many people use actual dog collars with a buckle. Other materials include rubber, PVC, and metal, typically stainless steel. Collars may be decorated in various ways, and often feature buckles, straps and hooks, padlocks and other attachments. The standard form is a black leather band around the neck, though there are many variations including elegant jewelry necklaces. D-rings are often added to allow the attachment of a leash.
A spreader bar is a physical restraint used in bondage play. It is a stiff bar typically two to three feet (sixty to ninety cm) long with attachment points for restraints at each end. They may include extra attachment points along their length for collars, suspension play, or as anchoring points for ropes or chains. Not all spreader bars are designed to take the weight of a person however. Some spreader bars can telescope so their length can be varied. Such bars are usually less strong than ordinary ones.
