By Jenni Holdsworth Jun 19, The position we typically picture when we imagine sexy uses for handcuffs or restraints; using one cuff on each wrist, the cuffs are used to tie both hands together. They can be threaded through the headboard if you have the right kind of bed or something else, like the banisters of a staircase, with the restrained partner lying on their back or stomach. When using adjustable ties, cinching them tight keeps your partner leaning forward yet unable to support their weight with their arms. If you leave the length between cuffs a bit looser, the partner on top can hold on it as though they were reins for a truly wild ride. If you or your partner want to be completely at the mercy of the other, this can be achieved by adding another pair of restraints to the ankles, similarly looped through a bedpost. Completely immobile, a blindfold and earplugs can be added so that the only heightened sense they experience will be touch. Are you interested in experimenting as a Dominant with your partner? The cuffed partner can use the band or chain connecting their cuffs around the back of the neck of the top partner to put slight pressure around their neck or pull them close for passionate kisses or nibbles on the neck and shoulder.

4 Creatively Sexy Ideas Using Handcuffs
Handcuffs for many couples are seen as a very sexy addition to the bedroom, and a huge factor is that they enable one partner to lose control, and one to gain it, which many find sexy and appealing. Handcuffs and anklecuffs can spice up even the most basic of sex positions, and for many are a key introduction to the world of bdsm. The same applies for those who have a passive lifestyle day to day and wish to act out the role of a dominant person in the bedroom, who finds calling the shots an huge turn on.
Introducing restraints
That is, we decided to use handcuffs! So we decided to take things up a notch or two by actually going ahead and getting the real deal to try. Our first challenge was getting hold of the handcuffs, of course. We thought about ordering online, but then we decided against it. Finally, we drove around town, scratching our heads, and then eventually managed to procure a surprisingly sturdy-looking pair from Palika Bazar. On D-Day, the boy and I met up together at his place. His parents were out of town, so it was all quite perfect. We made out, drank some wine, and then out came the cuffs. We flipped a coin for whose turn it was first - it was mine. He slipped the cuffs around my wrists, after looping it around one of the rods of the wrought-frame of the bedstead.
They are fast becoming a default sex toy for couples. The issue with such widespread use is that couples have probably role played them to death in the bedroom. There are only so many times you can be cuffed to a bed post before it gets a little stale. Coming up with something new and exciting might be a bit tricky. Anyway, assuming the bedroom has probably been fully explored, lets consider the rest of the house and see if we can come up with something new for you. Now the bathroom usually has a towel rack or something similar. So do kitchens. Handcuff both hands together and tease your partner while you take a seductive shower, do a strip tease or masturbate in front of him. This one will drive him absolutely crazy because men are so visual. Some doors have coat racks or something similar attached to hang items.
