Brits Are gagging for Sadomasochistic Action Between the Sheets
This National Orgasm Day
It is official – bondage has been thrust into the mainstream thanks to the meteoric success of Fifty Shades of Grey.
With its new appeal of restrained elegance, sensual spanking and unconventional romance, it is little surprise that Fifty Shades-inspired lovemaking is growing on the curious.
Following from the release of the film trailer last week, it looks like the steamy scenes of Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson all tied up together has got Brits hot under the collar and gagging for some sadomasochistic flare in the bedroom.
Since the Fifty Shades of Grey trailer was released, Ann Summers have found:
- Traffic to the Ann Summers website increased by 55% within an hour of the film trailer going live.
- Over 500 units of handcuffs were sold on the day of the release – twice as many as the week before.
- Brits gagging for harder, grey metal handcuffs judging by the 200%+ in sales.
- Spanking floggers and paddles doubled in sales.
- Diamante crop sales increased by 80% in one week.
- Coventry are the most kinky – the store completely sold out of ball gags and black rope restraints on the day of the film trailer release!
- 50% sale surge in eye masks.
- Triple the amount of restraints, hog ties and under the bed restraints sold last week.
- Jiggle ball mania still going strong – except Brits are getting braver by experimenting with grey metal balls.
- Vibrating nipple clamps in top 5 best-selling sexcessories.
Bondage for beginners
Are you thinking of doing a Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele this National Orgasm Day?
From heat of the moment handcuffs to full-on floggers and hit-the-spot crops – find out how you can bring Fifty Shades into your bedroom with our bondage for beginners guide.
Bondage isn't all whips, chains and medieval torture, after all…
-Safety first
-Establish a safe word first; something easily remembered something that's unlikely to be said by accident. Make sure you both know it, and understand that play stops completely when it's said.
-Know your boundaries
-Whatever it is you want to try with your partner, as long as you both agree on the boundaries, anything goes
-Be prepared
If you're using handcuffs, keep two sets of handcuff keys nearby so you can release your partner quickly if need be.
-Get creative
Take a creative, DIY approach to bondage. Clingfilm can be used to wrap around your lover's wrists, and if you use a single layer, it's easy enough to snap.
-Be sober
Although it's often more tempting to play sex games when you're feeling a bit tipsy, it's best not to try bondage when you're under the influence of alcohol, as you might misjudge how tightly to tie the knots.

The 2013 Latex Fashion Revolution
Immerse yourself in the darker side of luxury fashion in 2013 with Honour's new latex collections - Hint of Noir and Please Me – Pin Up.
Honour's elite team of luxury fashion stylists have been inspired by Asian and European designs where the slim, sleek, and promiscuous style has boomed in the last few years. But why are we seeing such a rise in popularity for a material that we've been using at Honour since we started trading back in 1988..?
With celebrities such as Beyoncé and Gaga following in our footsteps of design principle and embracing a style which accentuates the female figure whilst maintaining sexual modesty - we are seeing a resurgence of latex gracing the red carpets, catwalks and awards ceremonies and consequently an incensed popular desire for the material.
Honour's Hint of Noir selection is a fine example of this - combining elegant sleek designs with raw edgy undertones that draw influence from the Japanese fashion scene where themes of anime and manga are prominent in slim-fit designs. The skin-tight fabric enhances the curves and contours of the body whilst the layered black/opaque colour scheme combines to create a moody, smokey impression which is rich in attitude and high in sex appeal.
In contrast to Noir - the Please Me – Pin Up range was inspired by French 1950s styles that embraced the theme of cabaret and burlesque with a modern Western futuristic and apocalyptic twist. The range features polka dot and striped paneled themes with a black and white colour scheme in order to optimize the promiscuous nature of the designs whilst maintaining elegance and discipline in its simplicity.
2013 promises to be an exciting year for Honour as we continue to look to new and innovative ways to dominate the market trend and challenge the perceptions of common boudoir attire. We're proud to be leading a movement which breaks the boundaries of conventional street wear whilst oozing in style and sex but with sinister undertones of sophistication!
If you're looking to re-invent yourself in 2013 then why not join the revolution and let Honour inspire you with one of the hottest material in the industry - latex!
Plus, be in with a chance to win the Penelope Peplum Dress from our Please Me – Pin Up collection and 'Like' us on Facebook.
