Let’s tie in some pleasure, shall we?

🔒 Why Bondage?

  • Heightens anticipation and sensation
  • Builds trust through consensual power exchange
  • Adds new roles, dynamics, and excitement to your intimate moments

🧠 The Basics: Consent, Communication & Safety

Before you pick up any gear:

  • Talk it out: Discuss desires, limits, and safe words.
  • Use the traffic light system:
    🟢 Green = keep going
    🟡 Yellow = slow/check-in
    🔴 Red = full stop
  • Never restrain without release: Safety scissors are your friend.
