Beautiful Ways to Tie Up Your Lover

Tying up a lover is a wonderful way to explore pleasure together while building intimacy. There are many ways to approach bondage, but the first rule is safety. The person doing the tying up is responsible for monitoring their partner, making sure blood flow is never restricted, and that the bindings can be undone in an instant, if need be. Cheap metal handcuffs can cut up and hurt wrists. Using a tie or scarf you already have can be dangerous. What should you use? For beginners looking for a playful ‘tie me up and tease me’ kind of experience over a full BDSM session, I found four beautiful ways to tie up your lover.

Simple, silken. Do you prefer a satiny feel against your skin? Lelo Boa Pleasure Ties are an easy way to tie up your partner. Just thread back through the ring, and you’ll have a safe way to get that literal tied up effect. Use alone or wrapped around furniture. Available in red, black and purple.

Made for a Goddess! These are even more beautiful in person. Rianne S created these cuffs, which are great for bondage beginners or those looking to add glamour to their bedroom activities. I feel they’d pair well with a gold bikini, for those so inclined.

These mesh bracelets can be attached together with a chain to restrict your partner enough to get a feel for bondage. I like the idea of wearing the bracelets throughout the day with anticipation of bondage activities that night. I also think the metallic mesh feels lovely against skin, and I enjoy the look of this black pair. They are also available in gold and silver.

Prefer leather? These luxurious Italian leather and copper cuffs can be used to tie up a partner using a metal attachment piece that is provided. Aren’t they gorgeous? These can also be combined with other bondage gear, a tie, scarf or rope threaded safely through the attached rings.
