Throughout National Kink Month , we’re having weekly sales on Stockroom.com: this week we’re featuring some of our favorite rope bondage gear and how-to books, as well as select anal toys for both men and women. All month long we’ll be showcasing tricks, tips and lessons for using the fetish toys and BDSM gear on sale that week.
Interested in rope bondage and don’t know where to start? From simple knots to elaborate shibari, rope tying may seem like a daunting art reserved for professionals. Don’t get lost at sea, follow these simple techniques and you’ll be tying knots like a sailor in no time (instead of just cussing like one).
Here’s an easy rope bondage tutorial that lets you attach a person’s wrist or ankle to a bed post, the arm of a chair, or any other piece of furniture your heart desires:
 |
Step 1:
Fold your rope in half, take the U-shaped end (called the ‘bight’) and wrap it twice around your partner’s wrist or ankle leaving room to slip two fingers underneath. |
 |
Step 2:
After the second wrap, cross the bight over the top of the wraps then pull it back through the underside. |
 |
Step 3:
Leave enough of the bight to tie a square knot with the remaining rope. |
 |
Step 4:
The final result looks like this. |
 |
Step 5:
The remaining rope and bight can now be used to secure your partner’s wrist or ankle to something such as a bedpost or chair leg. |

To kick off National Kink Month, we’re having a sale on Stockroom.com on some of our favorite rope bondage gear and how -to books, as well as select anal toys for both men and women. This week and every week through the end of October, we’re featuring tricks, tips and lessons for using the fetish toys and BDSM gear on sale that week. This week, we’re going to give our helpful hints on using a butt plug.
Just like opinions, everyone has an asshole…which means that ass play should be universally enjoyable for anybody, so long as they learn how to do it comfortably and safely.
Butt plugs can be a great way to prepare for anal sex. They’re fun to wear during intercourse for both partners, and equally fun to wear masturbating alone. (Or for someone else.) They’re also a compelling means of teasing your partner, or keeping their attention engaged during roleplay.
 The Anal Trainer Kit is great for beginners & anal pros. Whether you’re new to using a butt plug or just want to increase your comfort and wear time with anal sex toys, these simple steps can help you have as much fun as possible:
1. Buy the right kind of lube.
Avoid wear and tear on tender tissues by using a thicker or longer-lasting personal lubricant. Silicone has good staying power and is condom-safe; cream lubes has an excellent texture, too, but make sure it isn’t oil based, or it will degrade latex condoms. Try a Lube Shooter to get lube in deep enough to smooth the way.
2. Choosing the right butt plug:
- Even if you have lots of practice, it’s best to start out easy with a smaller toy each time you play. Perfect for both beginners or to use as a warm-up, the Anal Trainer Kit is a set of 3 soft rubber butt plugs in graduated sizes.
- If you want to be able to move around your house – or even go out in public – wearing a butt plug, make sure to either use a butt plug harness, or buy an anal toy that’s designed to stay in securely. For men, toys like the Trailer Hitch – which combines a butt plug with a cock ring that keeps the plug in place, and adds extra sensation. Anal beads and balls are other easy-to-move-in options that work equally well for both women and men.
- Make sure all your butt toys are easily removable. Classic plugs have bases that keep them from slipping in too far, but other anal toys should have a string or ring to pull so they don’t get lost.
3. Clean up before you play:
Preparation makes anal sex or using a butt plug will make you less self-conscious and everything more sanitary. Wash yourself out in the shower with a douche set like the StreemMaster or Shur Shot, or use a more conveniently sized bulb style anal douche. Make sure to lubricate the nozzle before you use it, and wash your douche set thoroughly after each use with antibacterial soap and warm water.
4. Make sure to relax:
When you’re first putting in a butt plug or other anal toy, being relaxed enough can be just as important to your comfort as using the right lube. One simple way to relax your muscles sufficiently is to take a deep breath when your toy is poised in place; then push the butt plug in slowly as you breathe outward. If you need to, stop to inhale; then start pushing again as you exhale a second time. If you feel pain or cramping, slow down! If the pain doesn’t ease immediately, it can help to remove the toy entirely; take another deep breath; then reinsert the plug as you breathe out again.
5. Hygiene and cleaning:
Always wash anal toys thoroughly with antibacterial soap and warm water when you’re through playing, and let them air dry completely before storing. To prevent infection, never share unsanitized toys between partners, or move a toy from the ass to the vagina.
 As the internet’s first known sex toy store, The Stockroom takes its role pioneering better sex very seriously. That’s why we’ve declared October to be the first annual National Kink Month!
Kink Month is a time for The Stockroom to share the decades of experience we’ve earned designing, making, and selling some of the most innovative fetish equipment on the market today. All October long, we’ll combine weekly sales on our most popular bondage gear and BDSM toys with blog posts giving you fun tips and tricks for using products featured that week.
It’s a public education campaign – but one that we hope appeals as much to seasoned BDSM players looking to extend their repertoire as it does to beginners curious about incorporating fetish roleplay into their lovelife.

There is an infamous quote by John Waters that we love terribly.
“We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck them.” — John Waters
That sentiment definitely rings true for us. Reading is sexy. And there’s plenty of sexy things to read about.
We’re all aware of the trend that’s recently swept the nation, 50 Shades of Grey. Whether you love it or hate it, you have to admit that it’s turned a lot of vanilla people to investigating the sexier side of books; We’re talking about something with a little more meat than some random romance novel baring a cover with a shirtless Fabio riding a unicorn through a forest, hair seductively blowing in the wind. Not dissing unicorns though, just to make that clear.
 No dude, it's cool.
So whether you’re someone who’s only recently started investigating, or you’re someone who’s been in the scene for a while, there’s plenty of awesome literature for you.
If you’re looking for more S&M themed erotica, why not start with one of de Sade’s classics, like Justine or the 120 Days of Sodom? Looking to learn a little more about how to win those dressage events at the Olympics? Check out The Human Pony. In the mood for the perfect overview of the stunning spectrum of human sexuality? Let Violet Blue or Midori be your tour guide on a journey of sensual sociology. There’s pages and pages of options for you to lose yourself in with your imagination. No unicorns for now though. Although we’re working on it. And accepting submissions.

The porn director known for lavish costuming, sets, detail and storylines, Axel Braun is doing it again with the upcoming release of Dark Knight XXX.
I’ll spare you the “something is rising” pun and get right into the dirty details.
We’ve had Batman/Dark Knight porn parodies before but none compare to the awesome that is Braun’s vision (complete with loved characters you won’t even find in the mainstream version). Critics and reviewers have been describing certain aspects (*coughCatWomencough*) as possibly better that the actual, mainstream film!
There’s unfortunately no official site for me to link you to for full details on this film, but I’ll gladly share with you cast photos and the epic trailer.
Giovanni Francesco as Batman / Bruce Wayne, Penny Pax as Batgirl, Andy San Dimas as Kathy Kane, Dani Jensen as Poison Ivy, Aiden Ashley as Catwoman, Christy Mack as Zatanna, Derrick Pierce as Bane, Brendan Miller as the Joker, Tom Byron as James Gordon, Brian StreetTeam as Nightwing, and Clarke Kent as John Constantine.
Trailer can be found here- http://tinyurl.com/6w6obla
In case you were curious, this film is set to release July 20th, exactly the same date as the theatrical release of Christopher Nolan’s official version. Celebrate by going to see Nolan’s version in theaters, then go home and finish the Bat-tastic night off right with Braun’s version.

Not that we need an excuse to stick our hands in our pants on a regular basis, but May is National Masturbation Month.
National Masturbation Month was created by the Good Vibrations retail store in San Francisco following the firing of U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders in 1994 for suggesting that information about masturbation should be included in sex education courses.
Although it originally started as a form of protest and social activism, it has quickly evolved into an overall campaign to promote sexual health and the benefits of “doin’ it yourself”. No longer should people be ashamed of taking hold of their own bodies and experiencing pleasure and discovery!
In 1999, the Masturbate-a-thon was started as a sexual health fundraiser and sexual health awareness campaign and has quickly spread across the country and even the globe. Check out the stats on some of these events here! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masturbate-a-thon
Masturbation not only feels great, but it lets you discover all your specific buttons and hot spots to share with others, is a great stress reliever, helps with ejaculation control, boosts your sexual confidence, promotes prostate health, and can even help with stabilizing your overall mood due to depression, insomnia and PMS symptoms!
What does that mean for you? Celebrate the holiday! Do it loud, do it proud, and get in touch with those sensitive bits betwixt your legs!
If there’s one thing we love about Easter it’s the thought of a giant bunny sneaking into our homes in the wee hours of the morning and leaving you delicious sweets and treats crammed in secret places! We honor this tradition of fun and furry home invasion with our own annual Stockroom Easter Egg Hunt.
Enter for a chance to win one of our original Bunny Hoods, available in your choice of white or black, and our bonus contest for a chance to win a $250 Gift Certificate!

We’ve just added a ton of beautiful, sexy and sleek new stainless-steel toys and gear to our site and can’t wait to share all the goodies with all of you!
Not only is stainless-steel classy, elegant looking, and can be used with any kind of lube, but it’s non-porous and super easy to clean with only soap and water!
We’ve got vaginal balls with chains, perfect for tightening up those kegel muscles for a tighter grip and more intense sensation during sex.
This heavy duty, extra wide butt plug has a sturdy base for hands-free play and will completely fill your ass once you slide it in.
The Anchor w/ Rope Hook is a steel rope bondage tool that can be used anally or vaginally. The bar with ball attachment can be moved anywhere along the bar and the bar comes with two hoops on either either to rope up and keep that toy and partner in place!
Fashioned like fancy silver chopsticks, these nipple sticks are a tricky little toy made to pinch the nipples intensely with an rubber grip in the center to vary the level of pain you want.

Few things in life are as predictable as the arc of the season of Lent: Beginning with overindulgence on Mardi Gras, followed by a season of pensive reflection fueled by self-denial and watching fast food restaurants hype their fishwich offerings. One of the more popular Lenten sacrifices is sexual release.
Denial is, by definition, difficult. If it were easy to give something up, it wouldn’t be giving it up, it would just be not doing something, and not doing something is easy. Until someone tells you you can’t. Then that tiny little rebellious spark of desire starts to grow and grow and you end up on an all night fap-a-thon watching YouTube megamixes of L’eggs commercials from the ‘80s.
Don’t judge me.
But I digress. While we typically pride ourselves on being the apple-bearers of temptation and vice, we do also offer a stunning array of orgasm denial and chastity devices for your…um, pleasure seems like the wrong word here. Enjoyment? No. Just wait. It’ll come. You won’t, though.
Depending on what you’re into, we do offer a lot of options for keeping it on lockdown.
For short-term denial, try a head ring with the accurately named sperm stopper, or one of our more popular insertables, the Lightweight Solid Penis Plug.
The stylish Curve offers you the opportunity to lock up tight for extended wear and is perfect for the larger man.
Bon4 is a flexible silicone chastity toy for men that offers more comfort and discretion, but is tear proof and virtually impossible to get into without the key.
If what you’re looking for is a little tough love, the Spike Cage may be right for you. Sharp spikes line the inside of this metal chastity device, warning you that you’ll be punished for any extra excitement in your day.
The Penis Prison w/ Pin Prick lining offers a touch of comfort and a touch of pain at the same time. This zip-up pouch stuffs away the goodies, but is lined with sharp pin pricks to remind you to be a good boy.
At the other end (heh) is our array of anal chastity devices, including the terrifying Ultimate Asslock, which was featured on FX’s American Horror Story episode filmed in our own Silver Lake boutique.
We also offer several fashionable female chastity devices, though none are recommended for long term wear. We’re currently looking into possibilities in that area, so if you have any suggestions, please leave them in the comments below.
We hope this list helps you with your goals this Lent! Good Luck!
