Theoretically, BDSM, kink, and fetish activities can be carried out without any devices, tools, accessories, sex toys, or other equipment, but in most cases it’s rather common or even indispensable to use one or more objects or attributes during sessions.


For instance, bondage activities cannot be done without ropes, cuffs, chains, and the like, Cosplay necessarily includes clothing and costumes that mimic a certain role or fantasy, forced speech restraints need the use of mouth gags, sensory deprivation typically includes blindfolds or headphones, and although spanking can be done with the hands it’s more common to use a whip or belt, and so on.
Hence, depending on the type of BDSM Play or any other type of “Dark Play,” you’ll find different types of equipment and accessories that accompany sessions.
Think here of mouth gags, ropes, harnesses, chastity cases, whips and other floggers, bondage beds, sex slings and swings, spreader bars, bondage tape, chains, massage tables, creams and oils, suits, costumes, lubricants, benches, hooks, collars, wraps, medical equipment, blindfolds, straightjackets, nipple clamps, wax, hoists, needles, dildos, vibrators, sex machines, butt plugs, and whatnot.


In addition, depending on the sort of BDSM, kink, or fetish activities, and the accompanied enactment, common daily and household goods may also be used, such as cutlery (knives, forks, spoons, and such), pillows, belts, dusters, bed sheets, tables, chairs, shawls, sofas, showerheads, clothespins, paper clips, lingerie, foods and drinks, and so on.
In fact, you could say that only the imagination is the limit, and actually any type of tool, device, or equipment that’s deemed necessary or decorative to creating a certain ambience and/or enacting a role can (and often will) be used in sessions.
Those who frequently engage in BDSM, kink, or fetish practices — either in private or professionally — often even have a specifically designed room or space with plenty special equipment, tools, and accessories in it to enact their desires. This “play space” is usually called a BDSM Dungeon, which is an environment where individuals can safely, controlled, and discreetly explore their kinks and fantasies.
