If it involves gear I can answer it. Whether you're talking basic sex toys, restraints(leather, steel, etc....), electrosex, fucking machines, butt plugs, or any other kinky practice that involves gear. I can answer it.

Experience
I'm here representing www.eXtremeRestraints.com, we're one of the biggest bondage gear and fetish supply retailers on the internet. We spend a lot of effort looking for the right products to carry in our store, so we should be able to answer any questions. In short, we have a big warehouse full of just about any equipment you might want to ask about.

BDSM - Switches and the sharing of toys


Expert: XR - 1/10/2008

Question
Hello,

I realize I have left this rather late but I was hoping I could get your input on something.

My partner and I are both switches but I am much more of a newcomer to the concept than he.  In fact I never thought I had it in me to top anyone, but I love topping him, and apparently he adores being topped by me, so it's all good :)

My question is this:  what is the etiquette on sharing toys of domination?  For instance, a couple of times ago that he was topping me he brought with him a lovely new leather riding crop.  He left it at my place which is where all the toys are left for the sake of convenience (and to save transportation of same).

So here's the kicker:  tomorrow (I said I had left it late, didn't I?) he will be coming over and I shall be topping him, and I would love to use the crop on him, but I'm not sure if that is generally cool or not, for me in the Mistress role to suddenly borrow and use on him something that he purchased when he was in Master headspace.  And I don't want to ask him because if it *is* generally okay, I want to surprise him!

Thoughts?

Answer
This is a little late. Sorry, I've been away from the computer for a while.
 I can't give you a definite yes or no as my knowledge of etiquette is somewhat deficient. However, this is a relationship between you and your partner, and no one else's rules really apply here. Open communication is important in all relationships. If he's upset about it, then he'll tell you. You're new to this and it's understandable if you don't know all the rules. Hopefully he's not a jerk, and you can make a mistake without fear of retribution. I would go for it without asking permission for the surprise factor, and you can ask later, but you'll probably know how okay it is by his responses. It's all a moot point as the event has passed.

 Sorry for the late response, but I wish you all the best.
