VS 
A recent experience made me reflect on some of the basics .. you know, the simple things we just assume people know and we take for granted. This is one of those moments. We ( a new person just beginning and I) were discussing various "toys" we might enjoy, and the subject of handcuffs came up... I will describe the scene as best as my amateur writing can ....
I asked her to stand up, and blindfolded her (with consent naturally), then from behind I guided her hands to her back, and handcuffed them. She seemed a bit turned on by this, so I suggested we try the other way as well. I removed the handcuffs, and taking a length of soft cotton rope, I slowly formed the "S" shape between her hands, allowing the rope to slide across her skin with each pass. Then I wrapped the middle to form the bind, and the "cuffs" were complete. To finish securing them, I stood up behind her, pressing lightly against her as I made a few loops around her body, above and just below her breasts, while keeping my head next to hers from behind, softly yet purposely breathing a bit heavy against her neck as I wrapped her arms and body before securing the final knot.
I asked her which method she preferred, and I bet you already know the answer...
You can restrain somebody with a pair of handcuffs easily enough, but with a little imagination and purposeful movements, you can achieve the same goal yet it is much more more fun for both of you to take your time and do it right
