So you know you and your partner want a bit of the rough stuff but you’re not sure where to go. You’ve heard that dungeons are where folks and couples go to get their spank-play on. You go and the whole room is decked out in heavy velvet, intense Japanese drone music is playing and the people around you are wearing mind-blowing corsets and slick thigh-high boots. If the Chains of Pleasure Kit was a dungeon, it would be decorated with the curtains from the house you grew up in, it would play some light rock music that you would like to sing along with and it would feature some really nice people wearing some sexy yet approachable underwear. What I mean to say is that Chains of Pleasure is the beginner’s fetish or BDSM kit for those of you that are inching into the world of kink. The kit comes with four fab features: The Eye-mask, the Submission Handcuffs, the 9-inch Whip (with clip) and the Cooling Gel (which “cools hot spots”). The cartoon dominatrix on the front dons gear from the first dungeon I mentioned above but the goodies themselves are ambassadors from the second one I mentioned. The tagline reads “Bring Your Lover to Submission with Pain-free Torture!” Sounds great but be warned, some toys in the kit can get serious and you have to be a little careful if you’re going to play.
The Eye-mask is a nice little number which has soft black cotton on the inside and a sexier vinyl outside. I found it a little snug for even my pinhead, but the elastic strips seemed ready to submit to the will of even the largest head. The mask also doubles nicely as a sleeping mask so that you can be ever-ready for some hot submission even in the depths of your deepest REM cycle.
The submission handcuffs are where my sex educator warning bells go off. Though these are called novelty cuffs, though they have a release button that the wearer can reach, though they come with two sets of keys, though you can crack through the links with a set of good needle-nose pliers (I checked), you should still be careful! These charming but cheap cuffs have a way of closing up really quickly and can pinch skin, cut off circulation and cut into the wrists with their thing metal edges. They won’t if you’re careful, but my recommendation to avoid part of the problem is to wrap the cuffs in surgical tape which softens the edges. Just be sure not to tape over the locking mechanism or the cuffs will be unusable.
After hesitatingly allowing the Cooling Gel to be used on me (I am allergic to everything-), I found that it not only did not make me break out in a rash, but it did not have a cooling effect at all. Hmph!
The 9-inch Whip (with clip) is just what the Chains of Pleasure kit is all about: though the clip on it is made out of nickel and the tails are made of braided polyester, this bad-boy actually works! The whip doesn’t offer a wallop per se, it does have a little bit of a sting if you whip hard enough and dammit, it’s hot and fun to have a whip that clips to your belt
Ultimately, the word “fun” sums up this kit. It’s a fun way for you to nudge your partner and say “hey a little torture could go a long way.” Chains of Pleasure could be the right intro kit for the budding dom in your household. FetishChainsofPleasureKit
