BDSM Toy

Definition - What does BDSM Toy mean?

BDSM toys are a class of sex toys designed to enhance bondage, humiliation play, and other sexual activities enjoyed by BDSM couples and participants. BDSM toys are typically designed to physically restrain a partner, blindfold or gag a partner, or tease a partner while they are restrained. They are intended to enhance the pain and pleasure experienced during a BDSM scene.

BDSM toys are typically made from durable materials like leather, latex, satin, or steel to withstand the wear and tear of rough BDSM play.

Kinkly explains BDSM Toy

Popular BDSM toys include whips, handcuffs, ball gags, and Wartenberg pinwheels. A slave collar is another type of BDSM toy. A submissive partner wears this around their neck to indicate that they belong to a master. Unlike many BDSM toys, a slave collar may be used outside a BDSM scene.

While BDSM toys are popular among members of the BDSM community, otherwise vanilla couples may also use them to add spice to their sex lives. Novices may use blindfolds, wrist and ankle cuffs, and soft floggers. People more familiar with BDSM may use more extreme toys such as gags, open-face hoods, whips, canes, shackles, leashes, and sex candles with wax appropriate for contact with human skin.

Some BDSM toys have a unisex design, while others are meant for either men or women. Male chastity belts may be worn by submissive men, for example.
