Melli & Wolf: The set is in a pleasant shade of purple with black. It looks very hard-wearing and robust as it is made of sturdy webbing and comfortably padded with foam.

Melli: The first thing we tried out was the mouth gag supplied, as this accessory was the most disconcerting for me. But since, to our delight, it didn't smell unpleasantly of the rubber that the "mouth part" of the gag is made of, I wanted to try it out. However, it was rather difficult for me to tolerate the part in my mouth, but after a while I got better and better at it. Nevertheless, I took the gag off again for the time being.

Next, we started stroking each other with the whip provided. Then I had myself tied up with the individually adjustable arm and leg cuffs. First, I had my arms and legs tied together using the snap hooks already sewn into the cuffs. Despite the dim light, I wanted to try out the soft eye mask straight away so that I wasn't distracted by visual stimuli and could concentrate fully on what was to come. It was here that I realized how exciting the bondage alone and the associated feeling of being at his mercy was for me. Wolf's further, tender but always unexpected touches with the whip and his hands increased my and his pleasure considerably. When he started to use firmer touches, I moaned excitedly, which made him want to keep trying, as it obviously gave me pleasure. As our lovemaking progressed, Wolf undid the ankle cuffs and attached one leg to a bedpost with the restraint strap. Unfortunately, the set didn't include a second strap to attach the other leg to the bedpost. We improvised with an existing bondage rope so that my legs were spread wide apart, which provided additional stimulation and increased the feeling of being at my mercy and the associated arousal more and more until we both melted into each other in a special kind of frenzy of pleasure.

Wolf: I always enjoy tying Melli up in any form, whether with words, with a massage or with bondage items. I may not share Mr. Grey's penchant for hitting and such violence, but taking possession, giving the "bad girl" a few good slaps on the ass or even just "fucking" her is fun for me too, if Melli feels like it. Fortunately, we don't have the dilemma from 50 Shades of Grey that we have completely different needs all the time. As Melli has already indicated, the set supplied here offers many possibilities for erotic bondage games and is particularly suitable for beginners and the curious due to its pleasantly soft texture and the quick attachment and release options using snap hooks and Velcro fasteners.

From being tied to the bed, as Melli described in our first experiment, to hog-tied, all variations of bondage of all four extremities are possible and fun to perform. At least that's what we discovered during our other experiments. It can be done with the arms stretched out over a table top, or simply standing, bent forward with the hands on the ankles, with the arms stretched upwards on a hook and the legs spread out on any heavy objects, etc., etc. There are hardly any limits to the imagination here.

I myself am usually not so enthusiastic about being tied up because I like to stroke, touch and feel Melli's skin, but when she gives me a blowjob, I find being tied up extremely horny. I can then fully immerse myself in the pleasure and she has the control stick all to herself. That's why I don't think it's a bad thing that Melli didn't like the gag so much, I much prefer it when she puts something else in her mouth and muffles her cries of pleasure, which I also like to hear, even if I also find a gag erotic in the sense of taking possession.

To summarize, we can say that ORION has a solid starter set for all bondage and SM enthusiasts or those who want to become one.
