I get horny when I think of being tied down so much that I squirm around. Then when I’m tied up, the panic and anxiety is a rush. What’s next and how good can you make it feel is what I’m thinking while restrained? But I don’t keep a bunch of shit around bought for bondage play. I don’t suspect most do, either. What do you use in a pinch?

Here’s three household items to use as restraints during bondage play:

1. A pillow case. Take a pillow case and slip it under the elbows of your partner. While they are on their knees and  you’re banging behind, their face will succumb to gravity and the ass will too, to give better diving in and out positioning while they are on their knees or lying on their stomach.

2. Medium-size, nylon, dog collars. Fasten these to the submissive’s wrists and ankles. Use leashes on each one, then tie the leashes to the bed posts for bed restraints, or use a strap to connect two or all four of the collars to tie the wrists and/or ankles together. When not in play, easily stuff them under the bed when you’re done.

3. Sheets. Wrap them around the wrists or ankles, elbows or knees. You can secure to them bedposts or tie multiple sheets together the same as with the leashes to the collars to restrain ankles and elbows together.

Tip: Never use thin materials to tie up your partner. Imagine how it would feel to have an extension cord digging into your skin as you sweat and wiggle around getting banged. Not a nice thought is it? Ribbons are pretty, but they pose a risk too, as well as pantyhose (which we’d considered before, then I thought longer).

Whether you buy pre-made bondage gear, or DIY at home in a pinch, always use things that are easy to get out of. Anything can happen (house catching on fire, someone has a heart attack, the kids come busting in the room, etc.). You need to get out of that shit fast.

Be safe.  Use care. Don’t be an asshole.
