How to introduce myself and my partner to light BDSM?

LaLaLouise LaLaLouise
I've been trying to think of new little things to try with my sweetie and since joining EF and being exposed to all of this information, I'm a bit overwhelmed. Please keep in mind that neither I nor he are heavily into the dom/sub fantasy or roles. We have on occasion played with tieing up, he likes a little biting, I like having my hair pulled a little. What would be an easy, not terribly intimidating thing to explore? I'm looking more for teasing and sensory deprivation/new sensations than pain or dominance.

I don't think that there's a specific thing that is best for everyone who is new to it or whatever. ^^ If you like tying up, then start with that. Just go at your own pace and don't make a huge deal out of it and you should have a lot of funnnn.

My wife was not into it at all when we first got together. We started with the under the bed restrain system that we bought from here and it works great. We also use a blindfold with it. But to be on the safe side we use a safe word just in case. my wife has more about it on her blog link you can read about it there. But that is a good place to start

I would say use a blindfold and try things that your partner would not expect and won't be able to see. Run an ice cube down his body. A very light whip alternated with a feather to keep him on edge, not knowing what he will feel next. Maybe use some warming lube. Have fun!

Yes! I was just about to recommend this, too.

One time my boyfriend asked if I had any fetishes, and I said handcuffs. And it just went off from there. He started spanking me. And he just recently discovered that I like choking.
But I think you should just start it off slow. A little spanking maybe. Some handcuffs. Harder biting maybe.

Tying each other up is a good start. You might try watching some porn together, or try writing him a sexy story from one of your own fantasies. Ask him what he liked or disliked about it and work from there. (If you don't watch porn together you may want to ease into this conversation as well)

With sensory deprivation you might try using music. Have him make a playlist of his top 10 favorite songs right now. Gently tie him down, place headphones over his ears and blind fold him. Oral is especially great this way, so be sure to ask him to return the favor.

you can also try dirty talk, blindfolds with light bondage (think silk ties, scarves, and handkerchiefs rather than handcuffs). a wartenberg pinwheel might be fun, a feather tickler, or something soft and suede for sensory play

I think spanking could be a good choice, but really it's important to do whatever turns you guys on! Play around and find something you enjoy.

You could always make it a bet or hint at it. I did that with my guy. I told him bet you couldn't pin me down, and went from there and that seemed to work well for us.

Either of the first two would work really well. So many people have given good ideas on here. Really it's all up you and your sweetie. Talk about it and make it fun.
