Don’t try to change their mind. Gracefully accept their boundary and try to find a middle ground of something you’d both be interested in exploring.” This might be easier said than done, but remember that there are plenty of kinks you can explore solo—such as sensation play, using nipple clamps, and some types of rope bondage—if your partner’s not into it, or if you don’t have (or don’t want) a partner.

These words help you communicate to more experienced partners what it is you’re looking for, and help you differentiate the kinds of toys you’re after. Start easy..

The London Tanners only use the very finest British Oak Bark Tanned Leather. We do not use cheap imported leather or chemically processed hides. In over 30 years of working with leather, this is the finest quality available in the world. In the 1970s there were over 60 Tanneries in England; now there are only 5 left. From those remaining, we chose our leather from Britain’s only remaining traditional oak bark tannery.
