Rulers Aren't Just For Straight Lines

Are you thinking about giving BDSM a go? Are you holding out on getting toys but don't want to miss out on the pleasure all that pain can bring? Well, you're in luck because what you need is most likely already somewhere in your house...

Ruler

- Why buy a whip when you can use a ruler? Plastic, bendy rulers are best but the wooden ones can also work. Make sure to check with your partner first, to gage the level of pain they enjoy, then put your pencil and paper away and use that ruler for its proper use.

Belt

- Much like a ruler, a belt is an alternative spanking tool. I think that there is something incredibly sexy about a man in a classic work attire, loosening his belt and threatening you with it as you get up onto the desk to receive your punishment... But that's just my opinion, why not find out for yourself if that does it for you too?

Spatula

- Rubber and silicone spatulas are the best. Why not use them to spice up your time when you're cooking together? Just bend your submissive over and use the spatula to do something much more invigorating than stir your dinner.

Tape

- Tape has so many uses; handcuffs, mouth covering, or to be placed down and ripped off for a sharp, stinging pain... any of these will add that something extra to your sex life.

Ice

- You can either place the ice in your hands and run it over your lover's erogenous zones, or put it in your mouth when you're giving them head... enjoy watching as their eyes roll back in pleasure.

Wet Towel

- During foreplay, you can press a wet towel against their genitals; the temperature can either be hot or cold, depending on what they like. You can then ring it out and let the hot or cold water drip over their body. If your submissive has been badly behaved, you can always swivel the towel and use it to spank them.

Scarf, Tights, Socks

- Blindfolds are great but not completely necessary. To achieve a similar effect, get a long piece of fabric and stop your lover from being able to see, in turn heightening their other senses.

Fork

- Run this along their inner thigh during foreplay to build them up. For some temperature play, place the fork in the freezer and enjoy.

Phone

- Put your phone on vibrate and away you go! Or, download vibration apps for more intense sensations.

Oil

- Use any oil - coconut, olive, you choose. If it is not already melted, melt it in a pan; this will also give it some heat which will feel great. Then get your partner to lay down and slowly drip it down (or up) their body, avoiding - but getting very close to - their erogenous zones... the inner thighs are always a good place to use it. You can either drip it and leave it, or massage it in to really indulge your partner.

Shower Head

- It's a classic. Hold the shower head where the water hits the right place and let the intense pressure of the soft water do all the work for you.

So get creative, have fun, and enjoy that sensual combination of pleasure and pain.
