The Simple Pleasures of a Silk Scarf

Of course the high-tech vibrators and matt black dildos are great. But sometimes – particularly after a heavy week – what you need is something much gentler, much kinder, and much simpler.

So tonight’s blog is all about three things you can do with… a scarf. She’s probably got one at the back of her wardrobe – if not; any market stall will have them. Choose long, soft, thin and light – silk for preference. Then use it for any (or all) of the following games.

1: Turn the lights down, turn on the music, and then use the scarf to stroke each other’s skin. Hold it by one end and waft. Stretch it between your two hands and slide. Wrap it round one hand and massage. Or with one of you lying down, stretch the scarf over them, while the other lies on top; then kiss, wriggle, squirm letting the scarf add a different texture to your body contact.

2: Use the scarf as a blindfold on one of you while the other touches, tickles, massages, slaps, licks, sucks.  For the blindfolded one, not knowing what’s going to happen heightens the pleasure. Take it further by surprising the ‘victim’ with ice (though not in body orifices where it can burn); with fire (candle wax dripped *very carefully* onto chest or back, not genitals. Or lead them through to the kitchen and feed them a variety of foods a la Nine and a Half Weeks (alternate sweet and sour for extra effect.)

3: If your partner’s up for this – check with them first and don’t do this with a stranger - use the scarf to tie them before starting in on them. Tie them to the bed head, or hands above head to a firmly secured shower attachment. Then bring them nearly to climax and – make them wait. Only allow them to come when they’re pleading. NB: for this one, it may seem as if silk stockings will do just as well as a scarf, but the material can tighten uncomfortably. And never leave anyone alone and tied – it’s not safe.
