As the scenes play out, the dominant partner ties up the submissive partner while they have handcuff sex and the submissive partner can only touch, when granted. 

Although there are many styles of cuffs and you may not know which one is best to suit you, today we discuss the different styles of bondage cuffs and restraints systems that you can include to boost tie up sex

Cuffing Styles:

You may have noticed at first glance that sex cuffs come in an array of styles, that is because not everyone is the same size, or has the same comfortability level when it comes to restraint play.  

The most popular style of sexy handcuffs over the years has always been the reliable furry metal cuffs. The sensory delights that come from the furry wrap around the handcuffs makes the submissive partner feel a soft yet sultry feeling against their skin, while the metal cuffs' durability ensures your subject cannot escape. 

They do come with keys, but they also have a quick release lever that can be pressed in a moment's notice to release your partner, in case of emergency. These classic tried and true sexy handcuffs are perfect editions for tied sex, and BDSM tie positions

If you are not a fan of the metal cuffs, you can also choose amongst other styles like the Velcro closure sex cuffs, which are fully adjustable and come in fabric, leather, nylon, or neoprene materials. 

These cuffs have special attachments that allow many different positions effortlessly. A D-ring is a half moon ring sewn onto each of the cuffs, using the included cuff connector you attach both ends to the D-rings which swivel to create effortless moves. 

Aside from Velcro there are also adjustable sex cuffs that have a buckle closure, which will only fit exact sized wrists or ankles. They are considered more on the heavy-duty sex handcuffs side, so if you are more of an intermediate sex cuff player, these bedroom handcuffs would be ideal. You can mix and match all styles of sex handcuffs with these versatile D-ring cuffs, since most of the BDSM restraints have these simple attachment capabilities. 

Other BDSM sex toys and bondage restraints you can use to design your own restraint plays similar to handcuffing during tied up sex, is bondage rope or bondage tape.  

Bondage tape is truly a versatile way of instigating restraint play. Since bondage restraining is a both a visual and physical way of arousal, using bondage tape is a colorful way of getting sexually restrained. 

Using a bondage rope you can create basic knots and learn the erotic art of “Shibari”. Shibari is a practice of Japanese Bondage in which two people enjoy the art of body binding with a single rope. Those who would love to indulge in a Shibari session should seek training beforehand. 

This intense practice of BDSM bondage and restraint play is said to be the most erotic, sensual encounter for both Shibari subject and Shibari Master.
