BDSM Toys

BDSM is derived from the words bondage, discipline or dominance, sadism and masochism. BDSM encompasses activities which are normally excluded in the mainstream sexual activities. It normally will include forms of dominance and submission; discipline and punishment; sexual role playing; bondage, and sadomasochism. It is often referred to as a “Lifestyle” choice for its willing participants. It may seem quite violent to those not involved, but the power exchange is normally very controlled and never exceeds prescribed limits. In order to carry out these activities, it is commonplace to utilise BDSM equipment (or props). BDSM equipment is normally housed in a dungeon for the participants to carry out their roles.

One form of BDSM to necessitate the use of BDSM equipment is Bondage. Bondage makes use of BDSM equipment to restrain someone with the use of ropes, chains, leather collars, leads, harnesses, and handcuffs. A special table, or four-poster bed with ties, or even crosses fixed to a wall are some of the things used to enhance this discipline. A spreader bar is a piece of BDSM equipment often used with other BDSM equipment in the bedroom, which is a bar with leather cuffs to keep the ankles or knees spread open, or for the wrists to retrain the arms. It is not unusual to find non BDSM folk playing with some bondage in their day to day (vanilla) lifestyle. A major part of this subject requiring BDSM equipment is sensory deprivation. This BDSM equipment comes in the form of hoods, blindfolds, bondage body bags, gas masks and ear plugs. The idea is to subject the participant into a state of total submission included depriving him or her of any one or all of the senses of smell, hearing, sight and movement. As part of the Dominance and Submission part of BDSM, parties take pleasure in taking control or being controlled by a dominant partner or partners.
