Sex Handcuffs - Add an Exciting Edge to Your Bondage Play
What Are Sex Handcuffs and Why Use Them?
Are you getting a bit tired of rose petals on the bed and whispering sweet things into each other's ears? Maybe you want to spice things up a bit and explore some new territories? In that case, a couple of sex handcuffs are the perfect incorporation to your sex life.
Sex handcuffs are designed to restrain one’s wrists during sex, either simply together or attached to furniture. But they aren’t just about restriction—they’re about intensifying sensations and deepening trust between partners. Giving up control or taking charge can make every touch, kiss, and movement feel even more electrifying.
Sex handcuffs can be used in many different ways, whether it’s teasing your partner while they’re tied up, combining them with a blindfold for heightened anticipation, or using them with other bondage accessories for an even kinkier experience. The beauty of adult handcuffs is that they allow for both playful and intense encounters, making them an essential part of any bondage toy collection.
Choosing the Right Kinky Handcuffs
Not all kinky handcuffs are the same, and choosing the right pair depends on your comfort level and the type of experience you’re looking for.
Soft and Padded Handcuffs: Ideal for beginners, these cuffs are made from materials like faux fur or soft fabric, providing a snug yet comfortable fit. They allow for restraint without discomfort, making them perfect for those new to bondage play.
For example, the obaie Soft Handcuffs have received positive feedback from our customers. One reviewer wrote: "Comfortable cuffs and fit just as well on the ankles as well as wrists. Strong and secure so ideal for restraining." - bokbok, October 17, 2021
Metal Handcuffs: If you prefer a classic feel, metal handcuffs offer a firm hold and an authentic experience. They often come with quick-release mechanisms for safety, ensuring that play remains secure and enjoyable.
The obaie Metal Handcuffs are a popular choice among our customers. Johanna posted this 5-star review on July 31, 2019: "These handcuffs are solid and you get two keys that are not really needed, there is a latch that you press to release them, there is also a latch to prevent the shackles from being tightened further. I have quite large wrists and these still work, and feel solid and not plastic"
Adjustable Cuffs with Velcro or Buckles: These provide flexibility and ease of use. They’re great for couples who want a secure fit without the rigid feel of metal cuffs. Many of these options are designed with soft linings for added comfort.
The XX-DreamsToys Wrist Cuffs are a favourite among users. Mara commented on December 22, 2023: "They feel very comfortable because the lining is soft. A bit stiff at first (is leather after all) with closing after using them a few times but you close them smoothly."
Cuffs with Chains or Connectors: Some kinky handcuffs come with connecting chains or clips, allowing you to attach them to other restraints, bedposts, or even BDSM furniture for more adventurous bondage scenarios.
The Zado Leather Cuffs, for example, have double snap hooks that can be used to fasten the BDSM handcuffs to other straps.
One satisfied customer noted: "Very happy with this purchase. The quality is very good. Can be used on both wrists and ankles. Comfortable to wear even over long periods of time. The accompanying carabiner is indispensable. Just bought another set.” - L, August 3, 2017
How to Use BDSM Handcuffs for Sex Play
Using BDSM handcuffs in the bedroom can be as light or intense as you like. If you’re new to restraint play, start slow by cuffing your partner’s wrists in front of them, allowing them to experience the feeling of submission while still having some movement. For a more immersive experience, try restraining their hands behind their back or attaching them to for example the bed.
Want to take things further? Combine handcuffs with other accessories like BDSM blindfolds, ankle restraints, or a spreader bar to enhance the experience. Sensory play, such as running a feather or ice cube along your partner’s body while they’re restrained, can also add an extra layer of excitement.
Safety and Consent in Bondage Play
As thrilling as bondage play can be, it’s essential to prioritise safety and communication. Remember to always establish a BDSM safe word before engaging in restraint play, so both partners feel secure and in control of the experience.
It’s also important to check that the cuffs are not too tight, allowing for proper circulation. If you’re using metal handcuffs, make sure you have the key or quick-release mechanism within reach. For added comfort and security, padded or adjustable cuffs are a great alternative.
