The Easy Access Restraint System
When Fushia and I were planning our last shoot together I mentioned wanting to test out some new toys with her. I wanted to put her in the Easy Access Restraint System. It makes doggie-style look so very yummy. I ended up going into it myself! It wasn’t quite what I imagined it to be in that first test, but it is a very versatile toy so I’ll be giving it a lot more use.
The Easy Access Restraint System is a nylon and Velcro spreader bar, reinforced so that the bar doesn’t bend. I chose it because I wanted something that was going to be comfortable and not made from leather. Even though it’s only nylon and Velcro, it’s really sturdy and secure. This is a very well made toy that will restrain the most hardcore bottom. You don’t need leather to have fun, and you certainly don’t need to drop a ton of money for a leather toy. You can’t very well get yourself out of the wrist cuffs on your own, and kicking against the ankle cuffs is just going to make you tired. It’s also a very lightweight, so if you’re already burdened with a heavy toy bag this won’t weigh you down. It’s not very long either, so it should fit in your toybag nicely.
I am not particularly flexible in the legs, so I had a hard time staying in the standing doggie-style position while restrained. The ankle cuffs can be adjusted to sit higher on the legs and just below the knee if you need. I also had a hard time holding my position while on my back while restrained. I was hoping that the Easy Access Restraint System would help me hold these positions, but it really didn’t. I can say that it really does force the restrained individual into position. I look forward to experimenting with other positions that might work better for me, and also putting some differently sized and more flexible ladies into the Easy Access Restraint System.
…and the video of Fushia and I is still in the video editing queue.
Why Bondage Tape is on a Roll: A Spellbinding Review
Question: what smells like a new Barbie, won’t stick to your body hair, doesn’t require batteries, and could possibly dial your sexlife up to eleven? No, it’s not Jodie Marsh, though that’s an excellent guess. The answer, my inquisitive and possibly bi-curious friend, is bondage tape.
I bought my first roll of bondage tape about two years ago. In the cheery Bermuda pink shade of Pepto Bismol, the fat roll of tape looked innocuous and even a bit innocent, like it could be used to festoon a child’s birthday party. It seemed to me, then a neophyte in the world of D/s play—I’ve now graduated to the level of “dilettante,” a happy departure from the largely off-puttingly stern black-leather-and-chrome aesthetic of the lion’s share of D/s accoutrement. I didn’t feel ready to invest in anything that required a key for escape, but I did feel it was time to be bound tight and compliant. Bondage tape looked like it would fit the bill.

Penny: Beginner Bondage Kit
Beginner Bondage Kit
LeatherEtc.com
Leather Etc. is a little-known, San Francisco-based store specializing in leather attire, restraints, and toys. Primarilly a wholesaler to larger retail companies, their prices are extremely reasonable and if you’re a local, a trip to the Citadel will produce a flyer for an in-store lifetime ten percent off discount! No shipping on orders over $200 cinches the deal for non-locals.
One of the first things I purchased here was the Beginner Bondage Kit in black. I’ve been so pleased with it that I’ve also purchased the kit in pink and am considering adding a purple edition to my collection. (Not that I need three–this would be a present for that special, yet naughty, lady.) The kit comes in different sizes for increased customability and comfort. The first kit I ordered was via the store’s website, so I got the basic set, which is pretty burly. The leather of the cuffs and collar are prettz thick and lined with soft, dense fur, making them comfortable as well as confining. A cute riding crop with a hand-shaped head, blindfold, chain leash, small ball gag, and double-sided clips complete the kit.
If you take the time to go through the website or just order in store, you can better customize your kit for about the same low price. Posture collars, paddles, locking cuffs and collars, wide-headed riding crops, and more can help you meet your kinky needs exactly. And, if you like a uniform appearance to your toy chest, you can always go back later and add more, matching toys. Since Leather Etc. makes all their own merchandise, the colors are uniform and perfectly matched.
These kits are beautiful, personal, (comprably) inexpensive, and show quality craftsmanship. So while they’re of course aimed at beginners, more experienced players may want to invest in one, too–especially if you want your kit to stand out.

It did. The first time my then-boyfriend wrapped the tape’s pink plastic width around my wrists and then my wrists to his bedframe, I found my body go paradoxically limp and taut with submission. Just this, this four-foot length of plastic, this simple act of restraining me, this binding of my hands above my head, gave me a big blank check to lie back and enjoy myself. It rendered me an object of abject bliss. I liked it, I found, I liked it a lot.
