The Barely Bonds BDSM kit by Sportsheets is definitely geared towards beginner couples. It comes with a pair of soft handcuffs, a blindfold, and a feather tickler. The handcuffs are made of a flexible pink vinyl and are lined with black furry fabric. They fasten with black Velcro. They're fully adjustable, and fit both of our wrists perfectly.

Even though we've been a little rough, they show no signs of wear. The blindfold is the same pink vinyl/black furry fabric, and has a black elastic band to keep it on tight. Again, it has held up perfectly. The feather tickler looks (and feels) like a tiny black and hot pink feather duster. We didn't use it as much, but it does seem of decent quality and the feathers are very secure.

My man and I first tried out the kit with his hands cuffed above his head, wearing the mask. I tried the feather tickler on him but it wasn't really his thing, so I started using my tongue instead. I licked his lips, traced my fingertips around his nipples and slowly ran my eager hands down to his ready-and-waiting cock. I shivered when I felt how hard he was, and started kissing down his stomach. As I ran my tongue up his shaft, he let out a moan that told me it was almost time to slide him inside me, but not quite. I lingered for a moment- perhaps a moment to long.

He took that moment to rip off the handcuffs and blindfold, and push me down into the mattress. He pulled my left wrist and then the right behind me, swiftly strapping me into the cuffs. As he slid the mask over my eyes, I knew I belonged to him. He wasted no time. Rolling me onto my back with my arms beneath me, he forced my thighs apart and I felt, in the perceived darkness, his hot breath and then his mouth sucking in my pussy lips. The combined sensations of feeling him and hearing my surroundings, but being unable to see, intensified every graze, the breeze of the fan, and his breath. I came for the first time as he ran his tongue in circles around my clit, and then it was his turn.

He effortlessly turned me over onto my chest and in a second had lifted me by my hips into his deepest position. I could feel the heat radiating from his body as he slid into my dripping wet pussy, and I relished every thrust. With each one, he became a little rougher; a little more forceful. He slid his hand from my ass, up my side and around to my breast, where he let his fingertips linger for a moment before gliding up to my hair, where he let them intertwine with my locks before grabbing hold. As he came, I could feel every jet, and then his body sank into mine.

I still really enjoy using the Barely Bonds Kit. We don't use it too often, but I feel like that adds to the excitement of this type of kit. It has to be spontaneous and unpredictable, as the pleasure comes from the blind interaction between partners, not the toy itself.

This one definitely still has a place in my 'faves' drawer!
