Suspension Cuffs

Using suspension cuffs in BDSM - here's what you need to know

For kinksters into suspension bondage

Suspension bondage often needs a slightly different kit to other bondage types, not least because of the extra safety concerns. Suspension cuffs need to be sturdier and more load-bearing than other bondage cuffs often are, not to mention they need reinforced d-rings! They may also be padded or covered at the edges, and they're usually wider than other cuffs - all to make sure that the wearer is in a safe, sustainable position that they can keep up without damaging themselves. It's vital not to perform suspension bondage with cuffs that aren't designed for it, so make sure you make the extra investment if you'd like to play around with being strung up!

What are suspension cuffs?

You can’t use usual handcuffs to suspend someone with as they are not designed to hang weight from. Suspension cuffs are specifically designed to spread load and tension so that someone can be suspended off the ground without permanent damage to their wrists or ankles.

Why do you need different cuffs for suspension?

When you are suspending a person, there needs to be extra protection for the wrists so you can’t just use regular cuffs. Suspension cuffs are weight tested and designed to spread the load to minimise the risk of injury.

How do you use suspension cuffs safely?

Full body suspension is a highly risky activity, so you must be aware of all the risks before attempting it. You should never suspend a person from their wrists (or ankles) for an extended period. Make sure the person can stand on tiptoe/place their hands on the floor to give the suspended limbs a rest.

How to look after your suspension cuffs

Store your suspension cuffs carefully, so they don’t get folded or tatty. Make sure you keep them clean. If the suspension cuffs are made of leather, don’t use abrasive cleaning products on them. If they’re made of steel, be sure they don’t rust. If in doubt, don’t use the cuffs for suspension. Buy new ones before attempting a suspension.

What is a munch? A munch is a weekly or monthly meeting of Kinky people. The Munch might meet to go hiking, play Trivia, have a special kink like Spanking, or be located in a specific area. So these munches, most kinky people wear vanilla clothes and will meet in a restaurant or a bar. If they meet in a bar, it is technically called a Slosh.


Once Club 1763 and the Loft closed in Atlanta, the munches became a place to vet new people to go to pop-up dungeons and house parties. In Atlanta, there are usually 6=8 munches a week. I try to attend 2-3 a week. I have done 5 munches in a week but that was a lot of driving.

I go to the munches to meet other like-minded, kinky people. I'm personally looking for a mature lady, 19-60, who wants to play with me. I'm into bondage with leather cuffs and, with consent, will restrain my lady friends before teasing them with sex toys, and I sometimes use rope. Sometimes I like performing the Yoni Massage and sometimes other sensual massages. Me being a Pleasure Dom, but I sometimes like to inflict some tantalizing . But I'm mostly a pleasure Dom, and I will start with spanking to warm up your sweet ass and then a slight pussy touch, then a bit of light flogging, then maybe a bit of finger fucking and clit rubbing, then with rather light repetitive taps on the pussy or tits with a cane can give a strange slightly ful sensation, then edge with a plug-in vibrator 3 or 4 times, then use my cat-o-9-tails on the tits, stomach, and pussy, and then finish up by giving many ***d Clit orgasms and G-spot orgasms combined.

So, DM me, and will find a good munch in your area to meet, and maybe we become friends; maybe a kinky fun time will follow, but regardless I will introduce you to the Atlanta Kink community.

On the fourth Wednesday of each month, I host a munch in Peachtree Corners. It is invitation-only. Last night, 50 showed up, and the month before, 70 showed up.**

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.
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.
Bondage rope is perhaps the most fundamental part of any bondage kit, and is a vital addition to anyone's sex toy collection - and the more, the better. Good bondage rope is soft, strong, well sealed at the ends and resistant to fraying. There are countless ways to use it, and a clever dominant can fashion enough rope into almost anything else; cuffs, a collar, even a gag! The most important thing is to have a pair of shears on hand whenever you're playing with rope; that way, if you need to release someone from a tie quickly and painlessly, you won't be stuck fumbling with knots long after they've used a safeword.
