Tips and Thrills for The Boo-doire


Ever watch your favorite scary movie for the millionth time with your hands over your eyes, peeking through your fingers just as that particularly frightening yet thrilling part comes? Once you’re too old for trick-or-treating, Halloween really is all about getting a kick out of being frightened.

When you’re scared, your hormones kick in, resulting in a rush of adrenaline. This kicks up your physical strength and senses a few notches, something that comes in handy when playing with your partner.

All kinds of sexual kinks have roots in the fun of fear and the thrill of the unknown. Just the abbreviation BDSM (bondage/discipline, domination/submission and sadism/masochism) scares and thrills the pants off many. Think it’s too much for you? You’d be surprised how easy and exciting it is to customize to your needs.

BDSM covers a cache of kinks – spanking, wearing nipple clamps, blindfolds, gags, role playing, playing with hot and cold (think ice cubes and hot wax) and tying up your sweetie. It’s not about pain, but rather it’s about exploring what turns your crank. Following are some tips to getting your BDSM on:

Play safe: By this, we mean talk it out with your partner and make sure you’re on the same page when it comes to how far you’ll go. This means agreeing on…

A “safeword”: This is the word means stop. You can also have multiple words for “stop”, “slow down” and “let’s discuss.”

Start simple: Keep it simple in the beginning. Rather than trying full-on bondage, nipple clamps and hot wax all at once, start with one particular element and work your way up.

Hit me: Feeling naughty and in need of punishment? Old-fashioned spanking is a good start for beginners as you can better gauge how hard you are hitting. Keep it to the fleshier parts of the body and avoid super-sensitive areas like feet and hands.

Make it comfy: If the thought of being tied up gets you hot and bothered, start with something like fuzzy handcuffs or silk scarves. When tying knots, make sure you can slip two fingers between the restraints and your partner’s wrists or ankles.

Role-playing is another way to test your thrill-o-meter.

Costumes are fun any time of year. Is your man afraid of the doctor? Dressing the part of Naughty Nurse will cure what ails him, along with his fear of needles, in no time.

Ladies, if you’re the boss, let him be the boss now and then by playing the sexy, naïve Office Girl.

If you’re not up for full on dress-up yet, simply go to a bar and pretend you’re trying to pick your guy up. Wear a little something your partner wouldn’t normally expect, like Fishnet Thigh High Stockings. Give him a flirty look and perhaps a sneak peak of your, ahem, accessories, and you’ll be heading home or some other secluded area, pronto.
