Most people find a new fetish through watching videos, chatting online or just by talking to a partner. It’s great to be curious, but it is a different experience to try it out for yourself. Real equipment has weight, size and fittings that are difficult to determine from a picture or screen. That means it’s wise to take it slowly and select a piece of equipment that you can truly understand rather than dive right in on the most unusual piece of equipment you can buy.
Decide What Interests You
Not all fetishes are the same. Some people like to be restrained or role played, others like to be gagged, or controlled or experience something different. The more you know what you’re looking for, the easier it will be to select the right gear.
A person who is interested in pet play bondage, for instance, may want equipment to help with a specific role or movement in a play. Consider the way it’s worn, where it goes and if it’s adjustable prior to purchase.
It’s fine to purchase a handful of them. The first time that you try such a style of play, you’ll know whether you like it or not.
A Product Photo Does Not Tell Everything
Photographs can help, but don’t give quite the same insight into how something will feel. Metal equipment can be more weighty than anticipated. Leather may be tough to begin with and become a bit softer during use. The location of a buckle may even be crucial when it is worn.
This is related to the Deepthroat Gag as well. The design might seem simple, but it must be sized and fitted correctly. It is important to know how it works and how it can be dislodged before introducing it to a session.
It is never a good idea to rush through the practical when trying new gear.
Check New Gear First
With a new piece, take a few minutes to examine the piece. Test the lock, examine the straps or screw and determine if the item opens easily. If an adjustment is required, perform calculations to determine how the adjustment works before anyone is equipped with the gear.
These are simple checks, but it does make a difference. If a buckle or lock is part of a scene but the buckle itself isn’t until halfway through, it can really pull the show out of you.
Communication is important too. The individual is comfortable with what is being tried and can discontinue if they choose.
Keep It Clean and Ready
Post-use care of gear is also required. Each material will have different cleaning requirements, so be sure to take into account the material the product is made from. After cleaning, dry thoroughly before storing.
Sometimes, it’s beneficial to look at older equipment as well. Check for loose fittings, worn straps and any item that is not functioning properly.
Conclusion
It is possible to experience the joy of a fetish without making the first experience difficult. Select equipment appropriate to the type of play you are interested in, understand how to use it and check it before using it. Ease in with something manageable to let both people become familiar with what they are enjoying. However, the right tools should improve the experience, not be the thing that is the focus of concern.
