Everyone\u2019s got a wild side, but for many, it lies dormant without a suitable outlet. If the bedroom is where you\u2019d like to release the pressure valve on your wilder ways, make sure you\u2019ve got the right tools to share by stocking your BDSM toy box with the following;<\/span><\/p>\n

Blindfolds<\/h3>\n

\"INTIMA<\/p>\n

Limiting or completely taking away one sense will amplify others, which is what makes a blindfold such a handy item to have in your romantic roster of intimate items. It can also offer a sense of surrender – once it\u2019s on, your partner\u2019s next caress could come at any time, on any part of your body…<\/span><\/p>\n

Top Tip: With your partner\u2019s eyes<\/span> blindfolded<\/span>, feed them strawberries with cream or pitted cherries with chocolate sauce with your fingers, and let them anticipate what\u2019s really for dessert!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Handcuffs<\/h3>\n

\"SUTRA<\/p>\n

Restraining oneself from doing what your body tells you during sex seriously ups the intensity of enjoyment, and for the one not wearing them, handcuffs offer a change in the balance of power in the most pleasurable way. We have gone on at length about the different sex positions we like to use handcuffs in<\/a>, so it\u2019s just a matter of testing them all out to find your favorite!<\/p>\n

Top Tip: Use this opportunity to practice edging<\/a> your partner to their ultimate pleasure. Express what you want to do to them through dirty talk and don\u2019t underestimate the use of your mouth all over their erogenous zones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whips & Floggers<\/h3>\n

\"Sensua<\/p>\n

Contrary to the general image in most peoples\u2019 minds, whips and whipping as part of BDSM play need not always be painful, though for some that is the entire point. Whipping can be done simply to impart a slight sting or type of touch that jolts because it\u2019s so unusual in our day to day lives.<\/span> A whip<\/span>, like handcuffs, signifies control to the one wielding it, putting you in the driver\u2019s seat for the pleasurable proceedings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Top Tip: After giving a few firm strokes of the whip, gently blow on the area \u2013 the variation of touch will send their reception to touch into overdrive.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Feather Teasers<\/h3>\n

\"Tantra<\/p>\n

A gentle sensory titillation may be the exact change up you and your partner are looking for. While human touch is eventually inevitable in scenes like this, a feather teaser can awaken the body’s nerve endings and leave an erotically impressionable feeling.<\/p>\n

Top Tip: Play upon the sensitivity of your partner by sweeping a down feather teaser to revel in their romantic writhing. From long, heavy strokes from head to toe, to light sensations on the neck or between thighs.<\/p>\n

And to Finish\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget about <\/span>aftercare<\/span><\/a>! It can be kisses and cuddles, an emotional heart to heart, or even just a nice body massage while you watch a rom com \u2013 it\u2019s all about taking yourselves back out of the intense scene you just explored so both partners feel secure. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
