Bondage is sexy, no doubt. But bondage becomes un-sexy when you ask to be tied up and your partner realizes there is nothing good to tie you up with. Many a time have I laid there, wet and writhing in sexual anticipation, listening to the awkward silence as my partner fumbles around for a t-shirt or pair of pants that can double as a restraint. I can feel his eyes glancing around furtively, moving from my body to the rest of the room, as his panic grows and my desire lessens.

After one of those times, I finally said to myself "No more! It's time to let my clothing be clothing and invest in some real equipment." And thus, the leather hog tie from Kinklab made its way into my toy box.

I was attracted to this product because it looked like a reasonable-quality product for a very good price. I loved that this hogtie was made out of leather and not nylon, or another material that might give away its price. I didn't want to go broke buying basic bondage equipment, but I didn't want anything too cheap, either. I just wanted to upgrade from improvisation. (Please note that you also have to buy cuffs or something to clip this hog tie onto.)

My purchase did not disappoint. This hog tie makes it a cinch to get your partner all trussed up and deliciously helpless in two shakes of a lamb's tail. I enjoyed feeling securely immobilized, thighs spread open for the viewing. It's so easy to put on and take off, and the metal hardware looks damn sexy to boot. This hogtie is a great basic staple to begin building up a collection of restraining equipment. Thank you, Kinklab, for making my sexual desires just a little bit easier to fulfill. Or should I say harder?
