5 sex positions with handcuffs

For many, handcuffs are their first introduction to bondage. Have you experimented with bondage cuffs before, or are you looking for some tips to get you started? Here are 5 ways to use handcuffs in the bedroom!

1. On the wrists

When we picture using handcuffs, this is usually the first position that comes to mind. With a handcuff on each wrist, these toys are used to bind your partner’s hands together or to cuff them to the bed. When cuffing the wrists, you can place a bondage chain between each cuff. You can also attach the chain to your bedpost (if you have the right type of bed) or something else (like a banister) while your cuffed partner lies on their stomach or back.

2. Doggy style with reins

Are your handcuff fantasies being stifled because you don’t have the right bed? Then a sex position that has you placed behind your partner is the perfect solution. It’s easiest to start out with doggy style with your partner’s hands cuffed behind their back. Do you have adjustable cuffs? Tightening them will keep your partner leaning forward and will prevent them from supporting their weight with their arms. Loosening them will allow the dominant partner to grab hold of them as if they were reins. Get ready for a wild ride!

3. Total surrender

For an even more intense bondage experience, add in an extra pair of handcuffs. That way you can surrender yourself entirely to your partner (or vice versa, of course!). By fastening two ankle cuffs to the foot of the bed, you can further restrict the submissive partner’s movement. Add to that an eye mask and some earplugs and your cuffed partner is entirely at your mercy. By limiting the senses, every touch and action is experienced more intensely.

4. Switching it up

Don’t mind switching roles during your bondage games? If you’ve taken on the submissive role, whether you’re on the bottom in the missionary position or on top in the Amazon position, you can use the chain between the handcuffs to pull your partner closer to you. You can do this to kiss them on the neck and take on the dominant role for a while.

5. No way out

Use a hogtie to restrict your partner’s movements even further. Here, the submissive partner lies on their stomach with their hands and feet bound behind their back. This is an exhausting position, but there’s truly no way out for the submissive partner, meaning the other has complete control. Careful: the submissive partner may sometimes have difficulty breathing in this position, and their muscles may also come under considerable strain. That’s why we always recommend agreeing on a safe word.
