What is S&M

Although we’ll be concentrating more on bondage than S&M, we’ll still give you the basics to whet your appetite for this erotic practice. S&M is growing in popularity because of fetish gatherings and S&M soirees.

People bring along whips, paddles, canes and nipple clamps to act out their S&M fantasies with their partner in front of a small crowd, or with a willing participant who’s looking for an S&M buddy. These fetish parties can be excellent fun as well as a great way to see modern S&M in action.

Whips and paddles, etc, are all designed to help you and your partner straddle that pain/pleasure divide with varying degrees. Exactly how much pain you cause to one another is something you must discuss beforehand and try out through safe experimentation.

Pain is an incredibly intense sensation, which involves the release of endorphins to increase your orgasm to unbelievable heights, but it must be done properly while respecting the threshold of your partner and what he/she finds bearable.

If you and your partner want to try your hand at some light-hearted S&M, load up on spanking paddles such as the Sportsheets Love Hearts, Love or Slut Spanking Paddles and lightly spank each other's bottoms or other erogenous areas lightly to begin with, eventually building up the vigour of each spank.

You could also indulge in some pleasurable whipping with the Sportsheets Rubber Whip, Joyce Jones Cat O Nine-tails whip, the Dildo Whip (which sports a handy six-inch dildo) and the extremely naughty Hand Whip that will a kinky imprint on your lover's backside!
