Are props and toys important to you?

Are Props important to you? If so, if not...why?

You know, by putting it that way you're probably not going to find may people who say yes, lol.

With a very creative partner they aren't necessary of course. And with a very creative partner they are incredible fun because of the unusual games and uses said partner imparts to the toys. So I guess what I am saying is hie thee over to Ye Olde Very Creative Partners Shoppe and pick up one or two today.

Heehee...perhaps what I should have said (its still early morning here )...is what relevance to your lifestyle are the props, the rituals and the things that make a 'scene' (as in set, background etc) to you? Do you need them to feel that the 'scene' is complete, or is it just as it is...props?

I was thinking about my little growing toybox when I woke this morning, and came to the conclusion that some of the things in there are not props at all, but necessary (for me). Some things would turn me off....like seeing my SO in a gimp mask (would probably get punished for laughing my head off!).

So....was just wondering how necessary these props are to you? Indeed if you have any?

The cedar chest has at least 50 items (blush). Mostly though, I have them because it was fun to buy them for someone and give them to him. As far as rituals go, the only one I really liked was drugs and sometimes a movie before playing. Certain recreational items of ingestion make me both very paranoid and very gullible at the same time, which made for lots of fun times, mindtrip wise.

I love my gear, and I am a gearwhore and a fetishist.

I have no problem admitting that a scene done with 150 dollar padded suspension cuffs which I can rely on fairly well is more enjoyable for me than a scene done with 50 dollar leather mitts that I know are not weight supportive.

And that I like to wear latex.

And that I like seeing my boy in latex.

And that a corset makes me happy.

My husband usually says I'm "all the toys" he wants; but occasionally he uses toys/props on me too. Not often.

Tools sound better than toys.

I have no interest in having a large collection, but variety is the spice of life. I could be happy with a flogger, single tail, cane, crop, and one from the paddle group, tawse/paddle/hair brush. And ankle and wrist restraints. Along a few vibrating things.

Maybe a violet wand one day.

 

[serijules]

They are important to me, yes. Not in a sense that a scene would be incomplete without some sort of prop, or that is is the prop or toy alone that I "enjoy", but many memories are formed with certain toys, and emotions evoked when those toys are used. My wooden hairbrush for example...is a punishment tool at times, and is also a way for me to tell my Domme I need to talk about something that is hard for me to talk about. I hand her the hairbrush, and she knows I need it spanked out of me. It lets me break down walls by really letting go and crying and using that desperateness to allow me to tap into deeper, hidden feelings and let them out as well. The hairbrush plays a major role in this ritual.

There are other examples, but I won't get into all the detail. I like toys and props.

 

[Marquis]

I like them but they're too damn expensive.

I bought a single-tail before I bought a flogger, big mistake.

I still use stuff of my own creativity most of the time. Cuffs are cheap, and leather belts seem to have no end of usefulness.

 

[FuckDoll]

They're fun and useful, but not totally necessary. I find that general household items can sometimes even be more tantalizing. I also think that a leather belt can be very useful and enriching. (one of my favourite 'toys' actually).

I am fast turning into a prop whore.

I love toys and new equipment, it adds to the mental change in my submission.

I confess to being a bit of a snob with regard to toys. During April I decided to do things I had never done before: go to fetish parties, flirt, meet Doms just to see what they were like etc. It lasted a whole two weeks!

It ended when I went to meet someone and his toy box consisted of a coat hanger, a length of rope and a spreader bar. I wanted to say "For Gods sake make an effort!!"

That when I realised how improtant proper toys were to me.

And for those of you who are wondering if he used any of those things on me......Nope, not one. Instead I made a cup of tea and we chatted all afternoon; I convinced to apply to uni as a mature student as he has the potential and ability to do well in academic life. His main comment was he wanted a sub, not a mother lol

 

[crazybbwgirl]

Would I still enjoy it without the props/tools/toys? Yes I would. But there's something almost magical about walking in to his place, the toys spread out all over the bed, the smell of leather in the air.

Then a blindfold and the anticipation of which toy he's going to pick up first. I love that part......

 

[AngelicAssassin]

With all due respect to the Uber Queen Bitch of the Underverse ...

Not as important. i enjoy using my hands. The feedback pain reminds me not to get carried away.

While i enjoy the sheer audacity (and occasional beauty) of "commercial" toys, i enjoy finding a quite ordinary item to twist into the most vicious mind/body fuck. Why do you think everyone laughed so loud when Bill Murray got that female MP up on the kitchen counter? A person can never look at a turkey baster routinely used for a huge family Thanksgiving dinner in the same way once manipulated as a dildo. It didn't occur to me, until many years later, that a hand cranked mixer could deliver such delicious depilatory delights upon a partner with silky pubic hair.

No wonder the female MP immediately crossed her legs ... http://aaotracker.4players.de/Images/smilies/angel.gif

Toys...

Necessary? no
Fun? yes .
I only have one toy which is a household object, but unfourtunately it's also a piece of crap.
Now, if I didn't live at home, perhaps I could be a bit more creative, until then I'm rather limited.

 

[A Desert Rose]

Toys are fun. I have a few.

But his hands and voice are the only things I need.

 

[babiesmiles]

I'm not a really fan of toys .

I prefer a good proper use of immagination, hands and voice than a box full of toys even if I understand they could add some twist more to the situation !

But I'm still a beginner ... so who knows , maybe I'll develope an interest for them as well ! Although as I used ( and still do it sometimes ) to ride horses I have some real good saddlery items which could be turned in alternative use ..hmmm
