When that happens, having a safe word that can be called out to immediately stop the action is a must.<\/li>\n<li><b>Use Comfortable Restraints<br \/>\n<\/b>Nice silk ropes, padded cuffs, and soft gags aren\u2019t just fancy pieces of equipment; they\u2019re important if you want to avoid serious rope burns, chafing, and other injuries. Rope you\u2019d use on a sail boat has no place in the bedroom!<\/li>\n<li><b>Lube Up<br \/>\n<\/b>Sometimes you just can\u2019t get as wet as you\u2019d like on your own, especially during a particularly long session. Also, if you\u2019re going to be enjoying any anal play, remember that it doesn\u2019t lubricate itself! <a href=\"\/blog\/slippery-slope-choosing-right-lube\/\">Pick the right lube<\/a> before you get started.<\/li>\n<li><b>Discuss Before and After<br \/>\n<\/b>Before you start a session, talk about what you want to do or have done to you! It\u2019ll get you excited and aroused and spark your creativity, too! Afterwards, you should talk about what you really liked during the scene, what could\u2019ve gone better and what you didn\u2019t like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Don\u2019t<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Surprise Your Partner<br \/>\n<\/b>If there\u2019s something that you really want to do but your partner has not expressed any interest in it\u2014even if it\u2019s just because you haven\u2019t talked about it\u2014don\u2019t go ahead and <i>do <\/i>it in the middle of a session. If they don\u2019t like it, that can kill the mood, and you might even hurt your partner.<\/li>\n<li><b>Make Your Partner Uncomfortable<br \/>\n<\/b>Take care of your partner\u2019s physical and emotional well being. Using comfortable restraints as discussed above is an important part. Stay aware and sensitive. Knowing the <a href=\"\/blog\/basic-knot-tying\/\">basics of tying a knot<\/a> will get you far!<\/li>\n<li><b>Tie Your Partner Awkwardly<br \/>\n<\/b>In general, you should avoid tying up your partner across certain lines unless you <i>really<\/i> know what you\u2019re doing. Tying wrists to ankles, for instance, is a big no-no. That\u2019s uncomfortable and an easy way to cause a sprain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Take these basic instructions to heart, and I can assure you that you\u2019ll be having satisfying, kinky sex on the regular. The gist of the whole thing is simple: bondage is a game of trust and openness.
