You might be wondering where to start with BDSM. It can be confusing as the media portrays it in many ways which can end up giving quite the wrong impression. For example, the ’50 Shades of Grey’ series has piqued many people’s curiosity but it depicts a toxic and abusive relationship which does not reflect the consent and consideration due in true BDSM. The secret of good kinky fun is knowing where to start, beginning gently and openly exploring what both parties want.
BDSM for beginners
Vicky Caves, an educator of long experience, is the perfect guide. We have just shot ‘BDSM for beginners‘ with Vicky with Sophie, our model who you will have seen in many of our shibari tutorials. In this tutorial, she explains all you need to know to start with BDSM from talking with your partner to experimenting with some simple techniques to going to events.
Going further
If you have already begun exploring BDSM, we have an ever-growing selection of tutorials to pique your interest and expand your skills. If impact play appeals, there are introductory and advanced tutorials with one specifically on the ‘English vice’, caning.
Beyond the five senses
As you have undoubtedly heard, the brain is the most significant erogenous zone. Thus, stimulating or restricting the input can be a tremendously powerful way to affect a scene. Removing one sense will enhance the others, whilst stimulating others, like taste or smell, can be a very powerful stimulus. Anyone who has read Proust’s ‘In Search of Lost Time’ will know that a simple cake brought childhood memories flooding back. I am sure we all have smells and tastes that can transport us to different places and times or form strong associations. This tutorial, ‘BDSM sensory and deprivation play‘, reveals many ways that you can explore the realm of the senses beyond the five senses and obvious things like blindfolds and gags.
