Why no handcuffs?
By Severina • Jun 30th, 2009 • Category: Blog, SESAA very common question I get when I am working is “do you have handcuffs?” I never reply with a simple no. I tend to go into a brief explanation of why we don’t and what alternative we offer. This question of handcuffs is so frequently heard it has got me to thinking about why the fantasy of handcuffs is often times thwarted by the reality. Handcuffs can tighten as one pulls against them. More than likely if you plan on using restraints, you plan on pulling and writhing against them. The stress that these hard metal cuffs place against the wrist or ankle joints can be both painful and dangerous. Cutting off the circulation to body parts for an extended period of time can result in nerve-damage, or worse. It is similar to the warning we give first-time cock ring users. Sometimes this explanation is satisfying, other times not.
I get the appeal, I really do. Not only is the idea of you or your loved one bound and restrained very sexy but it comes with the extra naughty notion that police officers use handcuffs on bad people. Haven’t we been playing cops and robbers since we were little kids? Who hasn’t tied up their best friend in a chair and interrogated them for an hour? That isn’t just me right?
Okay, so here is where fantasy can mix with reality. We have super sexy restraints made of leather, sometimes fuzzy on the inside and always a backup accessory to go dancing at bondage a-go-go. Don’t like leather? Are you vegan or just plain prefer man-made materials? We also have restraints made of felt or neoprene (a spongy, machine washable material). Maybe this is just a gag gift that may actually be used later on. The felt Cuff Loves are pretty cheap at 12 bucks a pair. Come on, give it a try. You just might like it…
