10 Hot Toys That Are Getting Couples Into BDSM

by Bianca Mendez

Thanks mainstream media (and 50 Shades of Grey), BDSM isn't some taboo sex secret that's kept behind closed doors anymore. Now, people are more open to experiment with their sexual desires a through various acts like intense role play or some simple gagging action. If you're new kink and are interested in getting in on the fun, consider trying these hot sex toys for couples who are BDSM beginners.

If you're unsure what BDSM is, let me explain: it's a genre of erotic sex acts ranging from bondage to reverse role play and everything in between. BDSM doesn't quite stand for anything, first of all. Instead, it's a combination of two abbreviations: bondage and dominance, and sadism and masochism. There's no right or wrong way to do it, and you don't need to be an experienced dominatrix with a full-blown sex dungeon (not that there's anything wrong with that, either). There are tons of sex toys out there that do the trick, especially if you want to gradually add kink to your sex life.

While it could be intimidating to bring up BDSM, it's important to talk to your partner and set boundaries before getting started. And one easy way to make the BDSM subject less weird is to get shopping. Show this list of bondage, handcuffs, and other BDSM fetish sex toys to your partner so you both can decide what you're into trying. Now go ahead and get your freak on in the best way possible.
