Regardless of whether it's summer or winter outside, it can get hot in your bedroom at any time of the year. Bondage is one of many erotic ways to inspire your sex life.

It doesn’t matter if you are in a new relationship or want to heat up a long-term partnership: bondage can be an exhilarating experience both for you and your partner. The prerequisites for this, however, are trust, clear agreements and boundaries, and mutual respect.

Are you new to BDSM? Don’t worry. Light bondage is ideally suited for beginners. It will push your limits and open up a whole new world of sexual experiences for you.

Are you wondering about the difference between light bondage and full-on BDSM? The former typically involves only light restraints, blindfolds, mild spanking, sex toys. It is aimed at mutual sexual satisfaction for both partners. On the other hand, more extreme BDSM practices often involve pain and humiliation, and this is not something you would want to experience while trying out gentle bondage. Remember, you should talk to your partner beforehand to keep your games safe and get the best experience.

So, let`s start with the best ideas for soft bondage sex.

Keep It Safe

In the beginning, it is especially important to have a mutually agreed, personal safe word - a code word that can be used to stop all play immediately. Take a few mitutes to talk to your partner and come up with a short word that doesn’t have anything to do with sex. The more unusual this word sounds at the moment of sexual ecstasy, the greater its impact will be. 

Alternatively, you can go with “yellow” and “red”. “Yellow” would mean that everything is fine at the moment, however, the intensity should be decreased, while “red” would be a signal to stop everything immediately.

Blindfolding

How can such a simple trick as blindfolding be so incredibly effective? Well, in addition to sharpening the other senses, it also evokes sexual expectation. You just won’t know what's coming. As a result, even a light whisper or a very gentle touch of the inner thighs can have an electrifying effect.

Also, a blindfold stimulates the imagination. It's much easier to get lost in your own sexual fantasies without a visual distraction. Do you feel shy or embarrassed when you’re naked? A blindfold can help take away your inhibitions!

There is absolutely no need to dig deep into your pocket and get yourself an expensive blindfold if you don’t even know if you enjoy being blindfolded yet. Your lover's tie or a scarf will do a great job. 

To make your introduction to bondage easier, use a blindfold as part of your sex routine. 

Verbal Bondage

Many people dream of taking full control over their partners at least once in their lives. After all, giving orders to your partner and seeing them obey them is extremely hot and it can make you feel more empowered than ever.

Plus, you can make your partner listen to your rules, and punish them when they don’t. Was it your secret dream to penalize your partner when they misbehave? Then, verbal bondage will be a perfect type of soft bondage for you. The main difference from regular bondage is that you won’t be using any restraints or accessories to fix or limit your partner - only your words. You can even try roleplaying, however, remember that the Dom defines rules and punishments.

Another way to turn your partner on, tease them, and bring them lots of pleasure is to make them watch you play with yourself. Put your sub in a chair next to your bed, sit close to the edge, and bring yourself to an orgasm. Don’t forget about the rules. The sub is not allowed to touch you or themselves - they just have to sit there and watch.

Be ready for your lover to break the rule. If this happens, you will need to apply the hard punishment you warned them about. Even though you’re only engaging in light bondage, you have to run a tight ship.

And if you can’t wait to play again after finishing your first session, don’t forget that a pause will make the next time even better since it will have you both wanting more! And once your sub learns to follow your rules, you can move on to the next light bondage idea on our list.

Restraints

Have you ever tried any type of bondage? If the answer is “yes”, then you probably know about back-arching, toe-curling, and screaming orgasms you can get while being tied up. If you haven’t tried tying up your partner of being tied up by them, then you should get out your partner’s neckties or anything else that can be used as makeshift restraints and try light bondage play the very next time you are going to have sex!

This is definitely one of the most enjoyable parts of light bondage. While one partner has to fully give up control, just leg go, trust their partner, and enjoy the experience, the other person is responsible for bringing pleasure to both parties. These are the most mentally and physically intense feelings that you can experience in light BDSM. And if you add blindfolding to restraints, it will get only hotter.

Remember, your restraints, be it handcuffs, leather restraints by Anoeses, or ropes, don’t have to be too tight. Make sure they are made of materials that won't damage your skin and won’t tighten if you struggle. Do not use restraints that can potentially cut off your circulation.

Also, be ready for disappointment and remember that light bondage is not for everyone: some people might be averse to losing control due to past experience or trauma. That is why communication is the key to pleasure in the bedroom.
