Has kinky love play aroused your curiosity . Do you want to dabble in the darker side of eroticism? Here is everything you have ever wanted to know about getting started with bondage and discipline play.
What are B&D and Fetishes (and why do people enjoy them)? 

 Basically speaking, B&D refers to Bondage (being tied up or restrained in some way) and Discipline (where love play revolves around the fantasy and act of being punished or delivering punishments such as spanking). B&D is also sometimes used to refer to Bondage and Dominance - referring to the sexual power play involved in the act of being tied up vs. playing with someone who's tied up (both can be very fun positions to be in!) Bondage and discipline refer to a very broad range of erotic activities and are enjoyed in many ways - some people dabble in B&D to spice up their sex life and for others it is a full-on way of life. Bondage includes activities like tying a lover up with silk scarves or handcuffing them, blindfolding a partner or even gagging a partner. Discipline includes things like spanking, whipping and teasing a lover.

B&D is largely symbolic, that is, the erotic thrill comes from the fantasy and illusion of being dominated or punished rather than any real pain or loss of control. B&D is centred around role-playing - scenarios like the naughty schoolboy and the headmistress, the police officer and the prisoner or the doctor and the patient are a huge turn-on for most of us. B&D is enjoyed by many people because it is visually and sensually appealing, allows people to indulge in darker sexual fantasy safely and because it holds the thrill of the forbidden or taboo. The mind is our biggest erogenous zone - B&D lets us enjoy our wildest and dirtiest sexual fantasies.

Fetish refers to any particular stimulus that a person finds erotic such as clothing, objects, particular kinds of people (e.g. people in uniforms) and body parts (e.g. feet, big breasts, shaved legs etc.). Basically, if it makes you feel sexy to wear it, to see it or to touch it - it's a fetish!

What are B&D toys?
There are no hard and fast rules about what kinds of toys should be used during B&D play. Just about anything (within reason) goes, that is - almost anything can be used as a prop during role-playing, you're only limited by your imagination.

Bondage Restraints
The safest and most accessible types of restraints includes hand and ankle cuffs - made from metal, fur lined metal or nylon and Velcro, straps or ties to secure your partner to the bedposts, kitchen table etc. and body harnesses that totally immobilise your partner. Any kind off cuff or tie should be comfortable and worn lose on the limb - that is you don't want to cut off your lover's circulation. Restraints should always have an easy to use safety release.

Discipline Aids
 Include a whole range of things used to administer pleasure with a hint (or more than a hint) of pain. That is - almost anything that can be used to stimulate the body. The most commonly used discipline devices include paddles for spanking, light whips, and nipple clamps. Any kind of clamp should always have a safety release.

Fetish Wear
Dressing up in fetish wear heightens the sense of fantasy and increases the eroticism of a sexual scene. The most common clothing and object fetishes are latex, leather and PVC. Most people associate these materials with B&D eroticism - so many people find these materials arousing. There are a whole range of clothes and accessories available in these materials - underwear, lingerie, gloves, jeans, dresses and mini skirts. Many blindfolds, hoods, gags, whips and paddles are also made from these materials. Dressing up in clothing made from these materials is one of the most common ways to add a bit of 'kink' to lovemaking
