Many couples, bored by the flagging sex lives, indulge in role play and sexual bondage. It's known to perk things up between the sheets!

You've watched porn, you've indulged perhaps in role play as well, but have you ever tried bondage? It may appear awkward in the beginning but once you get the hang of it, surely it'll be the high point of your day.

Handcuffs, rope, leather belts and satin ribbons are some of the 'tools' you may require to tie up your partner - whether it is to a bed post or the leg of a table - it's all your choice. There are so many different ways to perform bondage that the combinations are virtually endless. Bondage may be as simple or as complex as you wish it to be.

Be honest with your partner
Discuss the topic and your intentions as frankly as possible. You love your partner and sex between the two of you is always great, but don't let your partner bamboozle you into something you are not yet ready for. Also keep the safety of your partner in mind. If he or she is allergic to certain things or has some fear, be gentle and understanding.

Warming up
For explosive sex, foreplay is mandatory. Therefore kiss and caress your partner and make her comfortable. Then assume the position you two have agreed upon and start with satin ribbons to tie up your partner. Continue kissing body parts and as your partner can't caress you back, she'll be aching to be as close to you as possible. For heightened pleasure, replace satin ribbons with rope. Tie up your partner's feet and hands and watch magic unfurl.

Blindfolded pleasure
A common practice, blindfolding your partner brings in another form of bondage as he/ she needs to trust you completely. Here you can stroke your blindfolded partner with food or ice or feathers and it can turn out to be guessing game.
