I’ve assembled a list of bondage restraints.  There are many different kinds of bondage gear from restraints to furniture to physical stimulation. You can even create your own. I think novices and veterans alike can take something  from the following links and definitions. And remember, before you dive in to be safe, sane, and consensual.

Beginner Bondage
We’re talking leather cuffs, bondage tape, collars, and nipple clamps. Toss out the scarves and bandannas (a cheap alternative for novices but not very efficient) and upgrade to some beginning bondage gear. To get started try a beginner bondage kit.

Extreme Bondage
For seasoned vets or those looking for a more intense experience. Sensory deprivation hoods, spreader bars, and police handcuffs will satisfy your BDSM fantasies. For the ultimate extreme bondage trip try a bodybag (also known as a sleep sack).

Here are a few definitions to get you started:

Armbinders - can be created with rope or more commonly are made with leather or bondage tape. Armbinders look like large gloves that pull up around both arms.

Body bags - this device covers your entire body renders you completely immobile. Bodybags resemble a sleeping bag and is made of leather, spandex, or rubber. Some have openings for nipples or genitals so the bound subject can be toyed with.

Hoods - hoods come in a variety of styles. Most hoods are made of leather or rubber. Some have zippers, others laces. Deluxe hoods for sensory deprivation may have built in earmuffs. Some have eyeholes and a space for earphones. All hoods have nose holes. Keep a pair of bandage scissors in case of emergencies.

Mummification- the process of rendering someone completely immobile by wrapping their body in plastic wrap or bondage tape. Monitor your slave carefully and have scissors ready to cut them out of their cocoon (bandage scissors are recommended). Your subject can overheat while mummified, so be aware of this and have a blanket ready for when they exit their cocoon.

Bondage Safety

It’s important to keep in mind safety and comfort when practicing bondage. Some general guidelines courtesy of Extreme Restraints (I couldn’t say it better myself):

Bondage should always be safe, sane and consensual between the partners. As long as you keep some basic safety precautions in mind you’ll be able to enjoy bondage play without hurting anyone.

* Respect the limits of your partner at all times and use a bondage “safe word.” Set up a safe word before you start to ensure that each participant can end his/her participation with a word or gesture.

* Never make any bondage restraint too tight, especially around joints (wrists, elbows, knees, ankles) or the neck. You want to make sure your partner can breathe and be sure blood flows to the important parts of the body.

* Snug bondage restraints should not be left on too long, and never without regular monitoring.

* Be prepared to cut difficult knots or bonds in an emergency.

* Go slow with novices and first encounters to bondage. Be especially sensitive to your partner’s emotional reactions, providing frequent gentle body contact, spoken encouragement and other reassurances.

The only thing I would add to this is to monitor your subject closely and never leave them alone, they are helpless in the event of a fire, power outage, or other event.

Most of this information is culled from various sources such as sexuality.org, wikipedia, and books on BDSM.

To all of the members and fans of Hand Domination:

Guys and girls the last 2 weeks (Oct 30 - Nov 12) have been a nightmare in terms of how our shoots have gone. You might be wondering why there have been no updates. Running an Adult Website is fun but NOT easy. It has always been our goal to update Hand Domination every Monday with brand NEW quality handjob content. We strive to use AMATEUR males and females to provide a unique experience each time you login into the members area. Just like eating the same food over and over gets old, seeing the same girls on each site does too. Amateurs provide a genuine “feel” to the content.  The downside of working with amateur talent is the lights and camera can cause MAJOR stage freight. Soft cocks, 2 second cumshots, and girls who live with their parents are HANDJOB KILLERS. You might think we have been sitting on our ASS for 2 weeks. Nothing could be further from the truth. 378 miles of travel, $178.67 cents worth of hotels fees, 14 hours worth of filming, and not a DAMN thing to show for it! Frustrated would be an understatement!

We will NEVER sacrifice the quality of our handjob movies. During this period of frustration we have made improvements to our methods of finding talent and feel confident that our system will eliminate a talent shortage

We have just finished shooting some AMAZING content that will be posted (this Monday) starting November 19. To all our loyal members and fans thank you for your patience and understanding. Sometimes you have to take a step backward before you can move forward. Trust me the wait will be worth it!

Here are the 3 shoots that went terribly wrong:

Cameron - this girl looks normal, but she’s NOT. When the camera was rolling she would twitch and jerk uncontrollably. Some really bizarre stuff. Not to mention she looked like she would rather walk on broken glass than stroke a cock. Narcoleptic? Probably.

Limp dick David - David could not keep his cock hard when the cameras were rolling. It took 2 days to shoot a handjob scene … unheard of. Both days he came on himself prematurely.

TJ - TJ could not keep his cock hard. He was so embarrassed and ashamed. He said he had some Viagra in his car. He went to his car and was never heard from again.
