Chains

An aesthetic that's hard to beat

For all chain lovers

Real chains don't usually have all that much of a place in BDSM, being as they are heavy and cumbersome and expensive, but that doesn't mean nobody uses them - and there's certainly an aesthetic effect to them that is hard to beat. if you'd like to try them out, have a look around your local DIY shop - they often sell chains of various weights by the metre there, and while you're in-store you can pick up a few padlocks to complete the set with!

 Why should you use chains for bondage?

Ask anyone about bondage and they’re bound to mention chains. They are heavy, cold and un-giving. They make it incredibly hard to move freely because of the weight and once secured they stay in position unlike rope which has a little give.

Psychologically being chained is strongly linked to slavery and servitude, so you manipulate your sub/bottom’s frame of mind as well as their body when chain is used.

How do you play safely with chains?

Unlike rope, you can’t cut through metal links so you need to make sure the connectors used are easy to release in case of emergency. Chains have no give in them, so don’t put them on too tight as they won’t loosen. Always have a safeword in place and release the bottom if they get intense pain, ins and needles or numbness in an area that is bound.

Do I need to buy specialist bondage chain?

No, not at all. You can buy chain from your local DIY store. Just think about the size of link for what you want to use it for and how heavy it’s going to be!

Can I use a chain just for restraint?

Chains can also be used for temperature play, as you can make them very cold by putting them in a freezer or warm by putting them in hot water (be careful not to scold anyone though) and also can be used for costumes and dressing up.

    ABOUT ME:

    Warning: I don't reply to low energy chats/messages.

    Before we begin, essentially, the biggest lie people are told is that "Opposites attract." They don't. People only regurgitate that phrase to justify incompatible dynamics.

    I'm seeking an exact match: same character, same ethos and ethics and same soul and heart.

    About me: (Vanilla)

    I'm a writer and future (hopefully) author.

    One of my main passions is cooking. I have a natural love and a flair for cooking. I spend a large portion of my life in the kitchen.

    I briefly trained as a chef. Then I didn't.

    Cooking has always been intuitive and really natural to me. I can't bake worth a damn, though.

    I'm currently working on a BBQ Fajita spice mix. It's getting there. It's a work in progress.

    My Curry BIR mix has been a work in progress for ever. Same with the BBQ Fajita mix, It's getting there.

    I'm a deep thinker. I'm spiritual (NOT religious) and believe in the power of Chi. I believe in Ghosts, Vampires and Werewolves (what's life without whimsy), dimensions, multiverses, etc.

    I'm interested in meditation and general self-improvement and self analysis.

    The largest road to improvement is admitting mistakes and owning them.

    I'm a free-thinker and tend to think independently from the masses. I naturally deviate from convention and tread the path less trodden.

    To thine ownself be true.

    I'm not a people person. I'm misanthropic.

    I'm an introvert. I'm private. I don't like being the centre of attention. In fact, I like to keep as far back from people and the spotlight as possible.

    The darkness is my friend.

    I'm a geek. Always have been, always will be. Back in the 80s and 90s there was more chance of me being in the company of my Amiga, Spectrum, Master System, Mega Drive and Super Nintendo than a human being.

    Not much has changed.

    People talk about a "misspent youth." I spent my youth with celebrities such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong, Link and Zelda, Ken, Ryu, Guile, etc.

    I consider my youth to be spent wonderfully. I am privileged.

    I'm deep, introspective, pensive, and morose. I feel more at ease and happiest when I'm alone. I barely tolerate people.

    As far as relationships go. I'm open to long distance, at first.

    I don't really care about distance. I mean, let's be honest, the chance of meeting a compatible soul is improbable as it is, if you use geography and location as obstacles, the "improbable" becomes the "impossible".

    Besides, it's 2025, not 1725. Distances can be bridged with the aid of heavy machinery.

    It takes a while to properly forge a strong relationship: It requires pillars of: respect, trust, honesty, compatibility, and communication. None of those things come easily or without dedication, conviction, and time.

    I'm a sapiosexual as well as a demisexual. I find intelligence very, very hot! Saying that, I'm not necessarily looking for a woman who is in MENSA.

    There are layers and gradations of intellect.

    I require a mental, emotional, and spiritual bond before I can even ponder a physical relationship.

    I'm not a social media person. The only social media platform I'm on is Twitter (I'm not calling it X). I'm solely on there to contact customer services of various companies.

    I'm antisocial socially and antisocial social-medially.

    Social media, and society in general, is full of anger and hate and toxicity. Everyone has opinions about everything. Everyone feels entitled to judge and belittle and edit everything and everyone.

    I would much rather work on self-improvement. I would rather elevate myself than edit and judge and denigrate and tear apart strangers.

    People give too much credence to the opinion of others. I care about my opinion.

    My communication method of choice is emails.

    With emails, you're able to convey mass amounts of information and details without interruption, therefore making the "getting to know you" process relatively quicker than short burst of texts on IM.

    With emails you can write chapters upon chapters, send it without any expectations of an immediate response.

    With IM it's all immediate. It's an obligation to reply instantly.

    Sorry. Not for me.

    ABOUT ME: (Kink)

    I'm interested in TPE. I want a dynamic that is 24/7.

    I'm not into "keeping it in the bedroom/behind closed doors", as that's too much like roleplay with an on and off switch and it's way too low energy for me.

    No matter where you are or what you're doing, I want our dynamic to be swimming in your veins.

    My form of Dominance is one of psychology.

    It's my belief that before you can control a body you must first take infiltrate the mind:

    I want to know how you think, what you love, what you like, what you hate, and what you dislike. I want to know about your formative years, your upbringing, your parents, your family, etc.

    I want to know about your experience as well as your dream dynamic. I want to know what turns you on, what gets your engines roaring, what your limit are, etc.

    A great relationship is one that grows together.

    This dynamic will be a living, breathing organism. It'll grow and develop and mature. It will be 24/7. It'll be all consuming, and it will be a life choice. A life lived together. Forever.

    At work, you will be my submissive. At the supermarket and at the mall and out in public, you will be owned by me. Your every breath will contain my whisper. Every thought will contain a note that I control you.

    You will learn from me, I will nurture you and train you to be the greatest version of yourself that you can be.

    I'll listen. I'll be your coach. I'll be your teacher, your mentor, your confidant, your protector as well as your best friend.

    In essence, I'll make you a better person.

    I can not stress this enough. For a D/s dynamic to work, it has to be built on friendship. There must be unbreakable trust and respect. This is framed with communication, and compatibility. Every cylinder must be firing. Every molecule must be engaged.

    We will be a team. We will listen, talk, laugh, share and learn from the other. Our bond will be stronger than any metal or element known to God or man.

    This isn't an easy connection to develop. It takes honesty, trust, communication, dedication, faith and time. Come into this half-hearted, and it will not work.

    Edgar Allen Poe has always been my muse: A Raven, my spirit .

    I would enjoy a walk and a picnic in a cemetery (probably by candlelight) as much as normal people would would like a walk and picnic in a park.

    My kinks are, but not limited to: Watersports, Vampirism (Hematolagnia) psychological Dominance, fiscal Domination, Goth, taboo, skull-fucking, rough fucking, anal, CNC,
    play, bimbofication, food control, body modification, behaviour modification, body writing, deepthroat, TPE, chains, leather, outfits, heels, DP (with dildos, etc), toys, edging, tasks.

    Hard limits: Poly and ***.

    Bondage is one of the most famous and best known aspects of S&M and BDSM play, and not without reason. Being tied up is a glorious sensation for the right person, and the control inherent in being the person doing the tying can give a dominant partner a heady rush. Ball gags are also commonly used. Sometimes bondage is there primarily to enhance a roleplay scenario; sometimes it's almost an art form, especially when it comes to rope bondage. Other times it's just to make clear the dynamic and have some fun with each other. Whatever your reasons for indulging, make sure you're doing so safely. Learn some knots that don't tighten under pressure and always keep a pair of shears to hand in case you need to release your partner in a hurry.
    Many people who enjoy restrictive sensations crave the feeling of being immobilised, and there's no better way of doing that than a bondage body bag. They're available from a wide range of BDSM retailers, and they're one of the most complete and restrictive forms of full-body bondage available. The most important safety consideration with them is to ensure that the wearer is continuously supervised - it's not safe to leave someone so helpless alone for even a moment, as any number of things could occur. If you have that covered, though, wearing a bag like this can be a fantastically sensuous and comforting experience.
    In the words of the immortal Rihanna, "sticks and stones may break my bones - but chains and whips excite me". Whipping isn't quite as common a BDSM practice as the uninitiated might imagine (whips are unwieldy implements and difficult to use well; crops, canes, paddles and floggers are all far more usual) but it definitely has its fans. Bullwhips are occasionally to be seen in fetish clubs, and masochists who enjoy sharp sting-type pains are likely to have fun at the end of them. Enjoy the cracking noise when you hear it--it's a sign that you're breaking the sound barrier!
