What are bed restraints?

Bed restraints are also called submissive restraints. These are bondage restraints designed for sexual role play and bed bondage, where one partner is the dominant one and ties his submissive to the bed to dominate her sexually.

They usually consist of straps in X-shape with D-rings at their ends, to which leather bondage cuffs are attached. The straps are adjustable to fit any size bed. They are tools that spread your sub's limbs and legs to restrict his movements while you do your naughty deeds.

The entire system runs between your slatted frame and mattress, with the straps extending around the mattress and resting on the bed. Drilling into walls or permanent attachments are not required.

How do you use bed restraints?

There are several ways you can use bed restraints during BDSM play. Here are the most common methods.

• Tie ankles and wrists upwards

The most classic bed-fixing position, where you tie your lover's wrists and ankles to the bed while they lie face up, is very vulnerable and can be a massive turn-on for your partner. It's also an excellent position for foreplay and teasing, as your partner can see you teasing him, but he won't be able to do anything about it.

• Tie your ankles and wrists down

In this position, your partner lies face down on the mattress with both wrists and ankles tied. This position is incredibly submissive, as your lover will not see what is going on behind him. You can enjoy spanking or whipping your partner with a spanking paddle or try anal games while tied on the bed.

• Fasten ankles

The position with ankle restraints is excellent if you want your partners to be spread wide open. This position is also ideal if your partner is uncomfortable being fully restrained because their hands are free.

When your partner's hands are free, he can touch you while his legs remain tied, allowing you to do whatever you want with his lower half. If men are reserved, a face-up position is ideal for both foreplay and sex. If women are restrained, face up is great for foreplay and face down is easier for intercourse.

• Handcuffs

If you enjoy it when your partner puts his legs around you or bends his knees during sex, you may prefer the cuffed position where his hands remain cuffed so he can't touch you, while at the same time you can adjust the lower position halfway to make sex more pleasurable. If you like, you can start with your lover's wrists and ankles cuffed for foreplay, and then release his feet when it's time to get dirty.

Some tips on bed restraints:

Before using bed restraints, always discuss your boundaries and expectations with your partner before getting involved.

• Create your safe words

Before you put your partner in their sex bed restraints, the first thing you should do is create safety words. Usually in BDSM, the word "red" means stop, the word "yellow" means slow down, and the word "green" means keep going. However, you and your partner can choose any words that work for you.

• Talk about your expectations

You and your partner should thoroughly discuss what you expect and hope to get out of the bed-fixing encounter. Feel free to go over the scenario in detail, such as what positions you would like to try, how many limbs you would like to have tied up, and so on.

• Discuss your limits

Once you and your partner have discussed what you want from the encounter, you should discuss things that make you uncomfortable. For example, if your partner is claustrophobic and afraid of being held down while lying face down on the bed, they should let you know that this position is off limits.

Even if your partner gives you permission to try a certain position while being restrained, you should still go slowly. Pay attention to their body language and watch for their slowing down and stopping signals.

• Set up your restraint

Once you have your under-bed restraint, you can start measuring your bed. Then, adjust your straps to fit the width. Once your main restraint strap is in place, you can connect the four restraint straps. Of course, you can omit the straps if you only want to restrain either your wrists or ankles, but not both. You run the straps across the top of your mattress and then connect the cuffs. When it's time to engage in BDSM play, the person to be tied lies in place and stretches out to be tied.

Before you begin, please make sure that the fix partner is moving and test the fixation. It is so important that they are safe and comfortable.
