What actually is bondage?
The term comes from the English language and translates as "bondage" or "servitude". In the field of eroticism, however, this term stands for tying up your partner to make them defenceless for erotic games. The "Shades of Grey" book trilogy by E.L. James made this form of play very popular and has been growing in popularity ever since. But what exactly is the appeal of bondage? It's easy to explain: the partner who is tied up can relinquish complete control. And the opposite pole to him or her can indulge to their heart's content and has the power to completely control sensations and pleasure. Of course, it is important to only carry out a bondage session with a person who enjoys your complete trust!

But the erotic mail order company's range also has something for advanced bondage lovers.

Germany in Shades of Grey
A map of Germany published by ORION shows the Federal Republic in various shades of gray. This map is divided according to zip codes and shows from light gray (soft) to dark gray (hard) which federal states are particularly keen on bondage games à la Christian Grey. Apparently, the flatter the state, the harder it gets in bed. And who says the northern Germans are cool?
