It’s fair to say that there has been a stigma surrounding bondage for many years. It was always a something of a no-no, off-limits and not spoken about, but recently, it seems, that we have observed a shift in regards to the perspective of the general public, as more and more people are yielding to their curiosity when investigating new ways in which they can enjoy intimate experiences with their partners.

Bondage is kinky, thrilling, and sexually arousing, but it can also be very sensual, as it engages – and plays upon – our sensory perceptions of sight, touch, sound and so forth. Bondage gear encompasses a wide array of different sexual practices – and if you’ve ever wanted to experiment a smidgen, and investigate a little light bondage, or elevate your play to a whole new degree – then regarding bondage kits and accessories, the spreader bar, and bondage restraints, are certain essentials.

Spreader bars are a very popular appliance; also known as the bondage bar, their purpose is to keep a person’s legs, or arms, apart. They are manufactured from a variety of materials and can incorporate built-in attachments or bondage cuffs, ensuring that wrists, ankles, arms or legs can be spread the width of the bar. Depending on how much restriction is required, you can purchase spreader bars constructed from heavy-duty metal and leather, as well as versions produced from lighter materials, such as bamboo and rope; all of which do the same thing and are used for the same purpose.

These restraints are designed for sexual submission – it allows your partner free physical, and visual access, and so, therefore, is highly versatile, lending itself to opportunities for numerous different sexual positions, including ones used in conjunction with sex toys or body harnesses. The use of these devices would necessitate your partner being in a spread-eagled position, establishing an immensely visually erotic experience for the dominant partner – and a state of arousal and anticipation for the submissive, as they await their partner’s next move with a heightened sense of vulnerability.

As with all Bondage Toys, an element of care must be taken when using these restraints, as their use can result in muscle damage if the wearer’s legs are spread too far apart, in addition to exerting pressure on the thighs and hips, which can lead to injury during sexual intercourse.

It’s not surprising the spreader bar is so popular and is enjoying such a comeback; as mentioned above, that it assists its wearer to formulate a generous number of different, provocative positions is a factor, of course, but it also must be noted that the bar helps the submissive retain these positions for longer, therefore rendering them exposed to an extensive array of stimulating and tormenting procedures – because even as it minimizes, and restricts, the wearer’s own sense of touch, it heightens the other senses, obliging them to focus on the teasing touches of their partner, which in turn, is sure to strengthen any bond and relationship.

So surrender total control to your partner – and while they become aroused, of course, as they assume full command of the situation, it also demonstrates implicit trust and commitment between two people, which in itself is a huge turn-on!
