Another 5 Bondage Furniture

These are another 10 bondage furniture pieces used in BDSM for specific purposes.



1. Sex swing

A sex swing (also known as a sling) is a type of harness designed to allow sexual intercourse while a partner is suspended while the other moves freely. Though there is considerable variety in the exact specifications, the most common sex swings have a support for the back, another for the buttocks and stirrups for each leg, which can be adjusted whilst the user is suspended.

2. A hoist is a device used for lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or lift-wheel around which rope or chain wraps. It may be manually operated, electrically driven and may use chain, fiber or wire rope as its lifting medium. The load is attached to the hoist by means of a lifting hook.

3. Massage table

is used to position the submissive in a position similar to a client in a massage session, mainly for spanking or doggystyle sex. Most are manufactured with client comfort and therapist ergonomics in mind. A typical table has an easily cleaned, heavily padded surface, and a face cradle that allows a submissive to breathe easily while lying face down.

Tables may be either stationary or portable, depending on the intended use. Additional padding or supports may be used as accessories to the basic table.

4. Queening stool

A queening stool is a low seat which fits over the submissive's face and contains an opening to allow oral-genital and oral-anal stimulation of the domme while seated. In modern BDSM vernacular, the queening stool allows open access to the crotch while seated. The position allows the pelvic floor muscles to relax and therefore partly exposing the labia minora to intimate touch. The gluteus maximus and levator ani muscles, the major muscles of the crotch, can relax and sag allowing easy access to the vagina and anus.

5. Rack

The rack is a torture device consisting of a rectangular, usually wooden frame, slightly raised from the ground, with a roller at one or both ends. The victim's ankles are fastened to one roller and the wrists are chained to the other. As the interrogation progresses, a handle and ratchet mechanism attached to the top roller are used to very gradually increase the tension on the chains, inducing excruciating pain.

By means of pulleys and levers this roller could be rotated on its own axis, thus straining the ropes until the sufferer's joints were dislocated and eventually separated. Additionally, if muscle fibres are stretched excessively, they lose their ability to contract, rendering them ineffective.

5 Bondage Furniture

These are 10 bondage furniture pieces used in BDSM for specific purposes.

1. Spanking bench

 or spanking horse is a piece of furniture used to position a spankee on, with or without restraints. They come in many sizes and styles, the most popular of which is similar to a sawhorse with a padded top and rings for restraints. The 19th-century British dominatrix Mrs. Theresa Berkley became famous for her invention of the Berkley Horse, a similar form of BDSM apparatus.

2. A-frame

is a two similarly sized beams, arranged in a 45-degree or less angle, attached at the top. These materials are often wooden or steel beams attached at the top by rope,welding, gluing, or riveting.

3. Stocks

 are devices used internationally, in medieval, Renaissance and colonial American times as a form of physical punishment involving public humiliation. The stocks partially immobilized its victims and they were often exposed in a public place such as the site of a market to the scorn of those who passed by.

4. Berkley horse 

is a notorious machine that was invented for Mrs Berkley to flog gentlemen upon, in the spring of 1828. It is capable of being opened to a considerable extent, so as to bring the body to any angle that might be desirable.

5. Smother box

has two openings. One is in a vertical side of the box for the neck of the person who has their head inside the smotherbox. The other is in the top of the box to expose their face. The inside of a smotherbox is often padded to provide support for their neck and prevent their head from moving. The padding may also muffle noises from the outside, causing a relaxation effect and heightening their other senses.

Pornstar Review: Ashley Renee

Ashley Renee is a producer, director, bondage model and pornographic actress. She has appeared in many bondage magazines and films for over 20 years and, thanks to her dedication to physical fitness and a sustainable training regimen, continues to perform and produce to this day.

Adult model Ashley Renee has also used the stage name Micki Marseille for non-bondage work. She has done non-bondage modelling for a number of websites, and explicit hardcore erotica for Score Magazine. A compilation video of her earlier sex hardcore film recordings has been released by New Machine Studios. She signed an exclusive contract with Arrow Productions in the late 90's

However, it's in the bondage and fetish genre that Ashley Renee impact is best known. With her thick dark hair, tall slender frame, and large natural breasts, Ashley Renee became one of the most easily recognizable performers in the bondage industry. As a prolific model for Harmony Concepts, Inc. alongside models such as Whitney Prescott, Darla Crane, and Kristine Imboch, she was part of (and arguably responsible for) a resurgent bondage industry that is considered by some to be a so-called "Golden Age" of bondage photography.

Ashley Renee mostly produces and directs now for her own company, though occasionally she still does work with other well-known production companies in this genre.

Pornstar Review: Sasha Grey

Sasha Grey is the stage name of an award winning American porn star, film and stage actor, writer, photographer, performance/transgressive artist and experimental musician. Along with straight hardcore movies, Sasha Grey tried herself in BDSM niche. Sasha Grey BDSM movies are truly extreme and gained lot of success.

Grey attended Highlands High in North Highlands, California where she held a 3.8 grade average but was later home schooled. Her restless upbringing drew her to adopt an interest in the arts, ranging from books, music, acting, writing, and experimental performance art, primarily theater, in which she first started at the age of 12 in 2000. In 2003 she joined the Actors Theater of Sacramento and took an acting class, which further inspired her newfound talents. In 2005, while still in high school she landed a role in the experimental (unreleased) film Love Thieves. She graduated high school a year early, and rather than attending her graduation ceremony she appeared in, yet another unreleased experimental film Unknown Pleasures (Grey also co-wrote and produced the film). While making her rounds in the world of experimental film, she bused tables and attended college, all while researching the adult industry.

In May of 2006 Grey moved to Los Angeles and started her career in adult films just after turning 18. Her first scene was an orgy with Rocco Siffredi for The Fashionistas 2 by John Stagliano. It has been said she shocked her fellow performer by requesting to be punched in the stomach during fellatio. Though Grey does not deny saying this, she emphasis the request was an exercise in improvisational fantasy. This resonates to what Grey once wrote in regards to herself as a person and as an artist: "I wanted to express my sexuality as a strong woman, to push my own boundaries and see which part of my psyche would take me to my next euphoric sexual experience." Nearly six months after entering the adult industry Grey was featured in the November 2006 edition of Los Angeles where she was flagged as a potential major star, perhaps the next Jenna Jameson making her one of the fastest rising stars in adult film history.

In December 2006 she interviewed on the syndicated entertainment industry news show The Insider. In February 2007 Grey appeared on The Tyra Banks Show to participate in the topic of teenagers in the sex industry. She later claimed through her own blog and YouTube that the televised interview represented her poorly and the show's staff changed her clothing and hairstyle to make her appear younger, which became the target of criticism by Tyra Banks for Grey's choice to go into adult film. On the show, Banks persisted with the theory that there had to be a "reason" related to abuse that caused Grey to make the choice of pornography (despite Grey's insistence that entering the adult industry was a calculated career choice). Banks described Grey's disposition as "...cold, distant and hard," although she thanked Grey for attending the show, Banks took the final stab when she said: "...And I hope you sit down with yourself one day and really...do some soul searching to really find out why you're in this industry." 

Without loosing a beat Grey retorted: "Oh, I know why I'm in here." Banks finalized her point with: "...there's something deeper." In an interview Grey stated: "Despite the controversy that surrounds this industry, I felt I could ultimately bring an enigmatic quality to it. I decided that if my instinct continued to push me toward the reality of this, and the dissatisfaction with my education continued, I would seize the opportunity on my own."

Less than a year after entering the industry (January 2007) Grey was the recipient of best three way sex scene, and best group scene at the prestigious AVN adult movie awards, the following May she was also presented with the best new Starlet award by the X Rated Critics Organization. She was then named Pet of The Month for July 2007 (the spread is considered to be a radical change for the magazine as it was photographed by fashion photographer Terry Richardson) and also appears in a 2008 re-print of Terryworld. Among other collaborations with Richardson she was also appears in Wives, Wheels, Weapons (a companion book to James Frey? Bright Shiny Morning). 

Sasha is also featured as part of the art work for The Smashing Pumpkins 2007 album Zeitgeist, and appears in their 2008 video "Superchrist". In 2007 she starred in (and suggested the title) for the movie Broken ,directed by Dave Navarro (Jane's Addiction). Grey was also featured in the music video for the song "Birthday Girl", by the Roots and has modeled for American Apparel and Richard Kern for Vice (magazine) Anti-fashion spread and appeared in a three part VBS program, "Shot by Kern". 

Grey contributed vocals to Lee "Scratch" Perry's 2008 album Repentance (2008 album), on the track "Pum Pum." Her appeal has reached many spectrums including the fine art world, as she has modeled for artists James Jean and David Choe, while also inspiring French artist Frederic Poincelet for countless sketches in his ongoing work with Frederic Magazine, in addition to a two page spread with the renound Liberation magazine in France. She is featured in the series PG Porn by James Gunn (filmmaker) (Slither), as well as a cameo role in Dick Rude's independent film Quit which demonstrates Grey's work outside of pornography, and stars in the upcoming Canadian low-budget black comedy/horror film Smash Cut from the Ottawa based Odessa/Zed Filmworks, where she plays a TV news personality who goes undercover as an actress in a horror film only to discover the killer of her older sister.

In 2008 she won female performer of the year at the 25th AVN awards (making her the youngest in AVN history to hold such an honor).

Sasha has expressed a strong interest in existentialism while posing the question "how many porn stars are existentialist?" She is one half of the experimental music/art project known as aTelecine. Their first (vinyl only) e.p, Vigillant Carpark, will be released November 2008 from New York based label Pendu Sound. Since 2006 she has been developing a documentary that illustrates her experience from the age of 18 to 21 Grey represents herself in the adult industry through her own agency L.A. Factory Girls, while The Spread Group manages her mainstream affairs.

10 Mouth Gags

These are 10 mouth gags used in bondage.

1. Ball gag

is usually made of rubber or silicone in the shape of a sphere with a strap passing through its diameter. In use, the ball is strapped into the mouth behind the teeth, with the straps going around the head to secure it in place.

2. Bit gag 

is styled like the bit used in a bridle for a horse, and much of its sexual appeal stems from fetishistic symbolism in pony play.

It consists of a bar that is held in place in the wearer's mouth by straps or other device. Unlike the metal bit that is most common in horse bridles, the bar of a bit gag is usually a soft rubber cylinder. It is not very effective in preventing speech, unless combined with mouth stuffing. Because of the possibility of injury to the lips, the bit gag is not suitable for rough play.

3. Butterfly gag

is a wing-shaped gag, that is usually inflatable by means of a rubber bulb. The central part fits behind the teeth to fill up the mouth, while the wings go between the teeth and the lips. The gag inflates in the shape of a butterfly. This kind of gag is very hard to keep in the wearer.

4. Cleave gag

is scarf or cloth which is pulled between his or her teeth. Sometimes, a knot is tied in the centre of the gag so it works more like a ball gag.

While such a gag of thin material is not very effective, a thick scarf can be used to hold his or her mouth open, and the tighter that gag is tied the better it works, although no matter how tightly it is tied, the gagged person can usually spit it out.

5. Over-The-Mouth (OTM) gag

is often described in fiction as preventing the subject from speaking through the use of soft materials such as scarves or bandannas. In practice it does not silence the subject very effectively. The long scarf or bandanna is pulled over the subject's mouth and tied at the back of his/her head. It is also sometimes called the "detective gag" because many of its first appearances were in crime serials.


6. Wiffle gag

is a simple ball gag that replaces the standard solid rubber ball with a light plastic ball similar to the one used for the game of floorball. It is generally safer because there is constant airflow.

7. Bandit gag

 is also known as an over-the-nose or mouth gag. It covers the mouth as well as the nose, and is commonly used in Japan bondage. Without stuffing it is not very effective.

8. Forniphilic gag

is a type of gag that has the primary purpose of objectifying or humiliating the wearer. The gag becomes a mounting point for a tool or other device which allows a slave to perform a task or service for their master or mistress. 

When employing the gag, the slave's hands are usually bound behind them so they have no other option than to control the tool with the gag.

9. Funnel gag

consists of a funnel with a tube leading from its spout into the mouth, usually with straps to hold the tube in. Such a gag is used to force the bound person to drink a fluid. It is very easy to choke during such forced drinking.

10. Whitehead gag

is a device used to hold the patient's mouth open in dental surgeries. However, it is used in sexual fetish or bondage play.
