What is Sissy Play?
A BDSM scene is only as strong as the tools you use and sissy play is no different.

This week's Sammi and Nick are joined by fellow Lovehoney bod, Roy, to talk about what you need to know before you try bondage for the first time.
You don’t need to be a brooding billionaire to transform your bedroom into The Red Room from Fifty Shades – simply pick up an under-mattress restraint set and you’ve got yourself a BDSM boudoir in the making!
Always wondered 'what does fisting mean?' Let us, with a little help from Ian here, explain. "Fisting [is the] sexual practice in which someone's entire hand and all five fingers are inserted into the vagina or rectum," says Ian Kerner, Ph.D., sex therapist and author of She Comes First.
There's more to being a femdom than thigh-high stiletto boots and leather-look lingerie. A femdom, often professionally called a dominatrix, refers to a female partner who's dominant in specific, planned sexual situations.
Maybe it's the jazzy outfits, the shift in power dynamics, or the rosy color of a freshly spanked butt, but there's something about BDSM that couples all over the world can't get enough of. It's one of the most popular sexual fetishes out there.
Let me be clear from the start – there are far more than 8 ways to use the Position Master Mega Bondage Kit.
But if I were to write about every combination this bondage gear could bring to your bedroom, this would be less of a blog and more of a novel.
So, rest assured that while I've had to restrain myself (pun intended) to just 8 ways this time, you and your lovers will only be limited by your imagination.
This week Sammi and Nick are discussing BDSM. What does it acutally mean? Is it all gimp masks, leather whips and spanking? So much is covered under the multi-faceted BDSM umberella that it can all get a little confusing. What might someone new to this arena find appealling? What's the difference between 'hard' BDSM and 'soft' BDSM... and what does it all actually involve?
Maybe you've read or watched Fifty Shades of Grey, the now iconic book/movie that made a huge impact on the popularity of BDSM? Well, here's a chance to discover a kink you might like to explore... What's the best way to bring up the subject with a partner? What would your 'safe word' be?
And of course we cover our usual segments "You can never know enough about sex" and "Question of the week" where we share what we've learned about sex this week, and answer your sex questions.
