6 Tips and Tricks for Using Handcuffs During Sex

Handcuffs are a symbol of restraint - which makes them perfect for kinky sex. Cuffs are a staple of BDSM, but they’re also a good way for beginners to explore kinks or add something to the bedroom. Whether you’re a newbie or BDSM guru, these 6 tips will help you use handcuffs during sex with confidence.

1. Don’t forget the foreplay

How to use handcuffs during sex? Firstly, don’t make putting on handcuffs the first thing you do in the bedroom. Make sure you are turned on and ready to get freaky with each other.

The more “in the moment” you are, the more comfortable you’ll feel about trying something you’re shy about or something new.

2. Up the power games with teasing

If your partner is cuffed, make them desperate for you by teasing them and taking it slow. Kiss all over their body or slowly stimulate their erogenous zones with a feather, or, better yet, a vibrator.

Give them tantalizingly slow oral sex until they’re at the brink of orgasm, then stop. They’ll be begging you to keep going.

3. Don’t use the cuffs straight away

Instead, keep them next to the bed as a “punishment” in case your sub misbehaves. Of course, you decide when the punishment is necessary.

4. Striptease

Cuff your partner, then give them the sexy dance of their life. Their desire to touch you will be out of control, and you’ll enjoy feeling confident and powerful.
