Imagine a night that you have dreamt of for years, or maybe since the time that you saw something like that in a movie, an adventure full of BDSM endeavours with your partner. You have finally decided to step into the pleasure-filled world of dominance and submission. However, you have little to no idea how one fully experiences the pleasure of BDSM. Well, worry not, as For The Closet is here to help you on your journey to explore tantalising pleasure.
First and foremost, we at For The Closet believe that knowledge offers the possibility of maximum pleasure while always maintaining the safety line. To attain knowledge there are two ways one can garner them fully. One is to make a quick Google search and briefly touch through the basics. Another one is to understand, do some digging, and feed your curious desires.
If you are someone who resonates with the latter category, then allow us to prepare you before you embark on this soulful journey.
Preparation is the key
Honest Discussion
The most important stage is to have an honest conversation with your partner. This involves sharing everything you know about BDSM with your partner. Once you have done that, you can share why and what you intend to experience during the play. And lastly, share what are your expectations from the sexual act while talking about boundaries.
Safeword and Consent
Consent is like an opening door to a new world of enigmatic pleasure. Furthermore, safewords are the keys to building chemistry with your partner. Before diving into the adventurous world of BDSM, decide upon a safeword with your partner. It can be as simple as a “no” or can be something personal that only you and your partner know.
Furthermore, you can also decide on a word that encourages a nuance or an act. For example, if you want your partner to keep doing something, you can have a short word for that as well. This way, you save time by eradicating long explanations and staying in the moment.
Aftercare Equals More Adventures
Be it before taking part in the raunchy acts or after, hygiene is important to a healthy BDSM experience. This will ensure that you can continue your experience for a longer time. BDSM is a vast world of sexual pleasure. Believe us when we say you will need way more than a couple of nights to fully soak in its fancies.
How to ensure safety during BDSM
Stay Sober Until It’s Over
Several people need a glass of wine to unwind into sensualities. However, given the already edgy landscape of BDSM, it is something that should be frowned upon. Toxication and BDSM is a cocktail that does not mix well. If you or your partner seem intoxicated, you should keep the adventures for another night. This is because people tend to stretch their methods in passion, and with toxicity, the line can appear rather dim; this opens areas of miscommunication and displeasure.
Limit the Adventure and Check Frequently With Your Partner
Enhancing your skill and chemistry is obviously meant to derive more pleasure and happy moments in the bedroom. However, one should slowly build upon them with each passing instance. Sure, add a little bit of fun and spontaneity to the adventure. However, don’t try something that you have never tried out of the blue. Furthermore, frequently check with your partner on how they are feeling about everything that is happening under the sheets.
Bondage is Not for Every Body Part
Joints are the areas where the blood supply flows closer to the skin. This means any long-term pressure on them can be affected quickly. Furthermore, any unwanted strain on these areas can result in ligament injuries or damage that can take more than usual time to heal.
Furthermore, necks are a delicate area to bring into the play. Sure, there are bondage toys that are specifically designed for the neck. However, they come with a safety manual. Furthermore, they are designed only for specific nuances. The neck is an integral area of the body that supplies oxygen and blood throughout the body. Never compress the neck or anything around it; even when you know what you are doing, always triple-check.
Conclusion
The world of bondage offers pleasure like no other. Unlike everything else, BDSM is not an act that one can follow and get over with within some time. Due to that, one should know the ins and outs of the sensory world.
The main idea behind understanding the basics and safety nets of BDSM is so you and your partner can embark on its wonderful journey without an ounce of doubt. Remember, reading up on BDSM essentials might not be sexy, but once you do – the actual act becomes sexier.
So, when venturing into the world of BDSM and bondage – be sane, be safe, consensual and most importantly, be yourself.
