4 Basics Accessories for BDSM

Many want to try to complicate their entry into BDSM. They believe that they will increase their success if they spend an enormous amount of money on BDSM 'toys'. For those who are in a position to drop thousands, it might be a way to go. However, for those who have to live within a budget, another path is needed. For this reason, I will share four accessories I feel necessary to get started in BDSM.

1. Rope

Bondage is a vital component to the lifestyle. Most subs will be happier if you restrain them. However, cuffs and exotic bondage devices cost a small fortune. The best way around this is rope from your local hardware store. There are many styles which work. Look for something soft and flexible to allow for a variety of knots. Get yourself a couple hundred feet worth to start. This will allow you to cut segments different lengths to be used for restraints.

2. Whipping Device

There are a variety ways to go for this. My personal preference is the riding bat. I picked a couple up at the local feed store for about half the price of one at the sex shop. Paddles or riding crops also work well. Again, seek stores other than the local adult toy store. Hardware and craft stores often carry items which can be used as a substitute.

3. Blindfold

This is basic, inexpensive, and crucial. Blindfolding a sub will enhance any scene. I love the element of surprise this offers.

4. Candles

Purchase the inexpensive ones at your local discount dollar store. Plain white without all the fancy fragrances is preferable. This will eliminate the potential for allergic reactions to the dyes and perfumes in them.

Wax play is something that most find desirable. A cheap candle burns at a low hear, thus providing discomfort without injury. Most subs like it on their nipples while a few can handle it on the genitalia.

All these items are inexpensive and easy to obtain. Start to fill your 'toy box' with these items. They are versatile in their uses while providing a basis for the BDSM scene. As your desires and abilities evolves, then you can move onto more expensive items. However, this is ideal for getting started.
