The dirty and mysterious world of BDSM is one only the bravest and baddest of us will ever dare to step inside. This is one Pandora’s Box the faint of heart will be happy to keep shut nice and tight - but for those of you with just the right amount of courage and/or kink, BDSM can be one hell of a party. BDSM is a lifestyle enjoyed by sexual explorers of all shapes and sizes - and we see no reason that crossdressers should miss out on the fun. Committed crossdressers should already be used to the role play, so let’s take things to the next level and get freaky. Wondering where you fit in the BDSM world? No worries - we’re opening the dungeon doors right now. Behold the full, filthy scoop on everything from master/slave dynamics to good old-fashioned sadomasochism - complete with a point in the right direction so you can find all the props and PVC you’ll ever need. Let’s separate the vanillas from the veterans - because any bondage expert knows that it pays to be prepared.

Define bondage.

The BDSM (Bondage & Discipline, Dominance & Submission, Sadism and Masochism) arena is home to practitioners of dominance and submission, dirty role play and a glorious spectrum or other sexual deviations and interpersonal dynamics. Seasoned professionals in the world of bondage vary from figures of dominance and discipline to more submissive types, happy to put their physical and emotional security in the hands of an authority figure. Dating back to 1969, the age of Western society’s sexual awakening, BDSM revolves around an exploration of sexual roles and a general obliteration of societal boundaries on the sex front. Put simply: bondage means taking sexual practices to new extremes.  

Give me the basics.

Wondering where you fit in the weird and wonderful BDSM sphere? Your wait is over - we know the importance of defining roles and it’s time you define yours. Dominators: You like being in control. Nothing gets you excited like putting someone in their place and having them beg for mercy. Whether it’s cracking the whip, making the rules or dispensing justice, you’re on-board as long as you’re on top. Submissives: You’ll take instructions. You love the feeling of powerlessness and get your kicks from being ordered, restrained and punished. Being at the bottom of the food chain doesn’t bother you, even if it means going without. The fun’s in the conditions and boy, do you love being under someone else’s control. Switches: You’re easy either way. You love the thrill of dishing out some serious discipline but wouldn’t pass up a chance to be on the receiving end. You’re a free spirit with an array of exotic tastes and won’t settle for anything less than the full sex spectrum.

 

The agenda.

So you’re an aspiring BDSM practitioner with a tight schedule? You’re in luck - we’ve got a catalogue of experimental exploits right here, thrilling for doms and subs alike. With a repertoire this dirty, you’ll be a major player in the world of bondage before you know it.

Abrasion

Anything involving the use of friction for some seriously tense playtime. Abrasive burns can be made using sandpaper, rough silk, leather and even brushes - whatever works for you. Aspiring subs with a taste for rough stuff will love feeling the burn that acts of abrasion guarantee.

Impact Play

Attention doms: it’s time to dish out some discipline. Whether you fancy giving your sub of choice a taste of the leather whip, a merciless riding crop flogging or some nice old-school paddle play, you better make it hurt. This is impact play, so don’t be afraid to get brutal - how will they know they’ve been bad unless you really make them pay for it?

Animal Play

Ready to kick it interspecies? Good - because this one’s all about unleashing your inner animal. Whether you want a loyal canine, a horse you can really straddle or even a pig who’ll grunt on command, animal play is the key to getting in touch with your spirit beast - and there sure are plenty of props out there for the exploitation.

Age Play

If you need to be nurtured, this could be the one. Power dynamics are a big deal here, with subs finding the mother/father figure or mentor they need to feel totally safe. Doms ready for the responsibility will love this nurturing role play. This can be a controversial one, but don’t let the skeptics get you down - embrace age play and things can get exciting fast.

Tease & Denial

Pleasure delay is a fundamental part of BDSM, giving doms the ultimate opportunity to let their submissive partners know not only what they’re going to do but what they’re allowed to like. Keep your sub stimulated as long as possible without the payoff - the tension can become pretty extreme, and that’s what makes T&D so exciting. All of the anticipation, none of the gratification. Easy.

Service-Oriented Submission

Live to serve? Make a lifestyle out of your obedience and get in on service-oriented submission. Whether you’re a sissy maid with an urge to misbehave, a naughty nurse or a faithful slave, you don’t make the rules but you sure do shut up and follow them.

Dungeon Time

If you’re taking a cheeky peek into the dirty underground world of BDSM, we recommend you take things below ground. Your private dungeon is the ideal space for all kinds of play - and you can even introduce a third party by appointing a DM (dungeon monitor), responsible for supervising all of your dirty deeds. That way no-one breaks the house rules.

TPE (Total Power Exchange)

Willing to forfeit your human rights in the name of masochistic pleasure? Sounds like you’re ready for a total power exchange. Your dom makes all of your decisions, taking the power completely out of your hands, leaving you free to be totally enslaved by your master.
