I’ve used the ottoman itself for a lot. For gym use, it’s great for bench press exercises. For BDSM use, I’ve used it to store most of my toys, I’ve used it as a spanking chair or stool, and I’ve used it as a padded surface for tying Blue to. It’s a great addition to the Dungym. Be careful with any pressure points, give the sub enough movement to be able to move around to avoid undue constant pressure We’v also rounded up a few more cute and comfortable sets of sex cuffs great for beginners and experienced players. I’m a little freaked out by the idea of restraints. How can I make sure my partner and I both stay safe? I didn’t want to spend a lot of time at a gym; you have to travel there, you have to compete for equipment, and you have to pay ongoing fees. That wasn’t optimal. Basically, what I’ve done is I’ve taken a sturdy piece of bamboo, and lashed it into place midway across the top of the cage. This is for creating an overhead suspension point in the most stable place possible. As the bamboo is rounded, smooth, and very strong, it creates a good suspension point even without adding a ring or carabiners, as is common practice for suspension. While there are carabiners attached to it, that’s more for if I want to attach chains, as shown later.

Nerve damage usually has symptoms (pins and needles, progressing to numbness), but occasionally it’s symptomless until the damage has been done. From there, try kissing your partner on the lips, then slowly moving down, stopping to nibble and tease the nipples. Oh… and with all the healthy eating and exercise, there was an additional side benefit; I ended up in pretty reasonable shape! Finally; don’t forget, even if you buy this primarily for BDSM use as a home dungeon, it also makes for a great piece of equipment for a home gym, and there are all kinds of benefits to be gained from that. Not only have I been using this as a home dungeon all week, I’ve also worked out with it twice, and I’m going to again today, the day I write this post.Now, bear with me – this isn’t a post about how to live healthy, although I suppose that information is useful too. I’m going in a very particular direction, and it very much relates to BDSM and rope bondage. It’s very easy to put a drop cloth into the confines of the Dungym to do wax play in there; it makes for a very nice defined space so you can be certain of not getting wax droplets in other random places on your carpet. Cost: You can also incorporate the stoplight system (red, yellow and green) to let your partner know what’s good, what you may want to pause and talk about or slow down with and what’s a no-no. This is a great way for feeling out boundaries and comfort levels and keeping communication going.

Avoid stress; and if you can’t avoid stress, find some really healthy ways of dealing with it. Additionally, get lots of sleep, eat the right kinds of food, and get plenty of exercise. An impact station! Basically, a chain St Andrews Cross. You can adjust where the intersection is for the height of your bottom, and use the cuffs for restraint. This tested out to be very supportive; Blue could rest her weight on the cross and hang onto the chains for support (though to be honest, I prefer leather or rope flogging cuffs, and I think I’m going to invest in some leather or synthetic leather flogging cuffs soon). I realized that I wouldn’t be able to afford my own house for a long time to come, if ever; and the owners of most places I stayed in while renting were unlikely to approve of me installing the kind of heavy duty hard points required. So for the time being, I was unable to practice suspension related things in my own environment. I needed new options. If we forget the complications of bondage itself, and focus on external dangers that could kill or injure your sub, the numbers are pretty clear: any external danger is ridiculously low. First, don’t do bondage with a person you don’t know well or trust, and agree on a safe word in advance. “A safe word — any word besides ‘no’ or ‘stop,’ basically — allows the bottom person to be in character if she likes; when it’s time to stop, the safe word takes them out of the fantasy scene and interjects real needs in a clear way,” Queen says.In my last post , you saw the power cage without modification. It takes very little to turn it into a very versatile home dungeon.

Tied up, blindfolded sensation play. This one position is great for just about everything. Sensation, impact, you name it. I took the matter to a doctor; but they were unable to explain it. There was a battery of blood tests done, and the closest anyone could come to explaining it was “one of those infections that can linger in the body and reactivate from time to time”. Because it wasn’t readily identifiable, it wasn’t treatable via medicine. I was prescribed plenty of fluids and rest whenever it happened. As with anything, it’s impossible to remove all the risk. Being alone in bondage is a big fantasy for many people, but focusing on the details, you can make it as safe as you can.And after that, Blue and I set about testing and exploring options. For approximately a week. A day of fun activities and play, and then a day of rest and relaxation and recovery. Another day of fun activities and play, and then another day of rest and relaxation and recovery. And so on. Your home dungeon, or Dungym, can be stored in a bedroom or in your garage. Because Winter Is Coming where I am, I’ve opted to place the Dungym indoors for now. It means Blue doesn’t shiver her poor little ass off while we play. This is the factor that most people would pause at. And for good reason. This is a big, expensive piece of kit. I discovered while testing that it’s relatively easy to get to both sides of the body at any point; the interior of the Dungym is a lot roomier than it looks in these photos. If I felt like it, I could even lean in from the sides to play with the front of Blue’s sensitive little body.
