What is Sensation Play?

A set of exercises called "sensation play" are intended to improve bodily perception. There are numerous tools available for producing and intensifying specific experiences. Because they concentrate on producing softer, more ticklish sensations, sensation wheels, and feather ticklers are well-liked sensation items for novices. This type of play can be improved by adding constraints like a blindfold. We can intensify conflicting sensations by limiting movement and denying access to some senses.

PRO TIP: Price is essential when it comes to kink items. Take your time experimenting with various impact items and constraint styles. You may better hone your collection and find the items that will last you a lifetime as you understand how your body reacts to feelings and limitations.

What is Impact Play?

The act of hitting someone else is known as impact play or spanking. The goal of spanking is to make it enjoyable for both the person giving and receiving it. Impact play usually emphasizes a power relationship between two people and can take place in both sexual and non-sexual contexts.

PRO TIP: "Safe, sane, sober, and consensual" is what SSSC stands for. As a checklist for fundamental BDSM safety, this acronym makes sure that your activity is safe, that you are aware of your physical limitations, that you can make an informed decision to participate, and that you provide your enthusiastic agreement. Be sure to find out if your partner is SC before starting any BDSM-related activities.

What are the Best Impact Items for Beginners?

You can choose from a variety of impact play item styles. The most common tools for impact play are canes, whips, floggers, crops, and paddles. Those new to impact play may find that wide, padded paddles are a good option. The sensation will spread out more if the spanking surface is wider. Another excellent location to start experimenting with impact play is with a crop. The harsh, stingy sensation produced by these rapid-fire spanking devices is concentrated on the impact area. They are an excellent choice for novices because they are more targeted than a flogger and not quite as harsh as a cane.

PRO TIP: Different sensations can be produced by different materials. Compared to materials like vegan leather, jute, or cloth, silicone, acrylic, wood, and genuine leather can cause more pain. A distinctive blend of sensations can be produced by combining these materials in various ways, such as with a hardwood paddle lined with fabric.

What are the Best Restraints for Beginners?

You can find out if you like being restrained with a basic set of handcuffs or under-the-bed restraints. Start with a set that is simple to take off or store. In the event that someone changes their mind while playing, a Velcro clasp is used on several of our novice cuff sets to facilitate a speedy removal. While textile restraints can be thrown in the washing machine to be sterilized, leather and neoprene restraints can be cleaned and wiped down with a moist towel. The Sports Cuff, the Thigh & Wrist Cuff Set, and the Sportssheets Special Edition Bed Restraints are a few of our favorite beginner cuffs. Our blog, A Beginners Guide to Restraints, has further information on the many types of restraints.

PRO TIP: Not too tight! To guarantee proper circulation, put one finger between your confined partner's skin and your restraints. It would help if you never left them unattended.
