1 Night Stand Blog Hop - Handcuffs & Silk


Handcuffs.
Hard, cold metal links used by cops to restrain criminals. - That doesn’t sound like fun.
May also be used for fun sexual games. - Now we’re talking!

 Handcuffs is an important items used by the characters in my book, Handcuffs & Silk. This 1 Night Stand story features a lady cop…thus the handcuffs. *wink, wink*
Stephanie "Stiff" Johnson, is a tough Las Vegas cop who many men find too intimidating to date. Steph begins to wonder if something is wrong with her so she turns to Madame Eve to find a man who could be the yin to her yang, even if it's just for one night.

Hunter Morgan left behind years of living as a sub to a female Domme in New York. Upon return to his hometown, he questions whether he wants to continue with the "lifestyle" or find something different. Turning to 1 Night Stand, he hopes to sample his options.

A simple one-night stand opens a whole new sensuous world to both.


Understanding your own sexuality and needs along with appreciating an amazing partner can lead to some wonderful adventures.
There are over 70 different models of handcuffs to choose from and that’s not even counting vintage sets collectors hold onto.  However, for sexual bondage and BDSM activities, special bondage cuffs with softer restraints are more comfortable.

The easiest and most common method of using cuffs is binding the hands to the bed, person laying on his/her back. It is also the most secure method of using as virtually zero pressure being put on your wrists. The pose grants high safety and full access to most tender parts of cuffed body.

Binding wrists in front of the body is almost as safe, and bound person can stand, lay and sit on his/her stomach and back with no or little discomfort. Pay attention to moving with handcuffs locked; do not make any abrupt moves. It's difficult to balance with wrists restrained together, and the "cop" should be ready to help falling body.

Hands behind the back is the best position if you wish to “control” the partner, it allows the least grade of freedom. Very difficult to keep balance and falling can cause bad hurt, so pay a lot of attention.

Tips:
            * At all times use cuffs that have double lock feature.
            *Avoid cheap handcuffs, they can jam or become too tight.
            * Use handcuffs with someone you completely trust.
            * Make sure you speak to your partner before hand.
            * Have a safe word in any kind of role-playing; use this word if any play becomes               uncomfortable.


EXCERPT:
Hunter moved into the other room and lay still on the bed with his arms at his sides, silently waiting when Steph walked into the room. His eyes focused on the ceiling, his erection jutting upward, and she thought his nakedness a tribute to the gods or a meal spread out just for her. Dropping her purse, she straddled him, forcing his cock to lay between her and his belly.

"You have the right to remain silent." She clamped a handcuff roughly onto a wrist and raised both arms over his head to hook around the headboard rails then attached the remaining cuff to his free wrist. "Anything you say can and will be used against you for my pleasure."

The room filled with heat, yet the only sounds were their breathing, the creak of the bed, and the rasp of her boots as they brushed against his legs. She slid her hands under his back and he arched, inviting her to taste him. She ran her tongue across his belly, pausing to nip at each ridge of muscle, testing his sensitivity along the way to his nipples. Even though he didn’t make a sound, she knew his reaction by his hammering heart and the tremor of his skin.

Not wanting to miss an inch of skin, she took time exploring his chest and neck. His eyes still closed, he wore a smile as she nuzzled his neck and nipped at his earlobe. Parting her lips slightly, she placed feather-light kisses on his mouth, softly brushing his lips then pulling away to tease him with deeper kisses following.

Well! I never knew one ioda of that about cuffs. I'm a satin strip of cloth kinda gal, myself. Great post!

Anne said...

Thanks for the handcuff tips. I was unsure about the double locking, but I finally decided that each hand must lock separately, that way if one jams the other can be opened and the person can at least be released from the bed (if the cuffs are locked around a post).

Hi Mary,

Just stopping by to say hi to a fellow DP author. I really enjoyed reading Handcuffs and Silk.

StacieD said...

The most important tip I ever heard from a bondage expert was to lock the handcuffs with the key in the lock. That way you know you HAD the key sometime that night. Otherwise you might have locked cuffs and no keys. Oops.

I remember when my parents bought my kids metal handcuffs so they could play cops and robbers and one of my sons told them "mommy took my handcuffs and I want them back." That was fun explaining that to my parents. lol
