Ah, bondage. It conjures images of mask-clad anonymous strangers in a dark underground room practicing their KHARMA sutra skills. But what someone may not realize is that there are actually different levels of intensity when it comes to bondage. While some classic BDSM enthusiasts may take the activity to new heights, others may opt for something a bit more subdued. Here we’ve broken down bondage activities on the factors of intensity to hopefully provide some clarity for the uninitiated.
Light Bondage: If you’re just beginning your journey into the world of kink, consider light bondage. This level of bondage activity is incredibly gentle, meaning you’ll just be starting to explore the boundaries of sensuality. Some examples of light bondage activities include blindfolding, feather tickling, light spanking, or soft rope bondage. With a few tips from a professional or experienced friend, you can experiment with these activities with minimal risk of physical injury or emotional harm.
Medium Bondage: As you get more comfortable and knowledgeable about bondage, you might feel the need to kick it up a notch. Here is where you’ll start to explore more intense activities such as suspension bondage, breath play, or Japanese rope bondage. Just remember to be aware and safe when experimenting with activities that are higher on the scale of intensity.
Heavy Bondage: Heavy bondage is definitely not for beginners! This level of activity requires skill and experience, as well as an in-depth understanding of the activity and its associated risks. Heavy bondage is not for everyone, so it’s important to have a conversation with your playmate and make sure you are both comfortable before engaging in any of these activities.
It’s important to note that when it comes to bondage, everyone is different. Some may find comfort and freedom in light bondage, while others may feel limited. And vice versa. The most important thing is to communicate and explore the activities at a comfortable level. No matter where your comfort or intensity level is, bondage should be a fun and rewarding activity that both parties should enjoy, and hopefully increase their connection.

Ah, the spanking ritual. The sight of the submissive beet red and quivering brings a certain delight and satisfaction to many BDSM practitioners. But before you can begin to rejoice in the joys of spanking, it’s important to ensure that the appropriate safety protocols are in place.

3. Establish a safe word. Agree on a signal—a word or phrase—that either partner can use at any time to stop the play. That way, if things take an unexpected turn, or if someone feels uncomfortable, you both have an easy way to get out of the situation gracefully.
4. Pay special attention to vulnerable areas. bdsm spanking can be quite intense, so make sure to take extra precautions when dealing with sensitive areas such as the buttocks, breasts, and genitals. Never spank too hard or for too long in these areas, to avoid causing serious damage or injury.
5. Know your boundaries—and your partner’s. It’s important to know exactly what you’re both comfortable with before engaging in BDSM spanking. Always respect the limits of your partner, and never pressure them to do something they’re not comfortable doing.
Following these tips will help ensure your spanking session is safe, enjoyable, and memorable for all involved. And with a little luck and caution, you’ll be able to indulging in some pure spanking paradise before you know it!
