Thirteen BDSM Toys Used In The Creation Of Trip My Switch
Trip My Switch released last month from Ellora’s Cave Publishing. I took a lot of risks with this story, which is part of the Exotika line. While women are the primary readers of erotic romance, Trip My Switch is written in the first-person POV of the male hero, Bash.
No, I am not a man and writing from a male perspective was both a challenge and easier than I would have thought it would be. At times, I felt as if I was channeling the hero’s spirit and just writing what he told me to. One of the things about this book is the depth of intimate detail I was able to write. Another was all the wild toys I discovered while conducting research. Wow! There are some pretty amazing devices out there. Here are 13 BDSM toys I used in Trip My Switch.
.
1. The Hood - This is a bit more extensive than what I pictured when writing but will give you the general idea. Bash wore a hood which blinded and gagged him. This protected the identity of his dominants, and prevented him from seeing or speaking. Take away those senses and the others become heightened.
This particular hood can be purchased from JT’s Stockroom.
2. The Pelvis Harness - (For those 18 and older) To see a picture of a pelvis harness click here. In Trip My Switch, the device was used to keep a butt plug in place.

3. The Chest Harness - The cover of Trip My Switch used a typical chest harness in the photograph taken by Les Byerley. Thanks again Les for capturing the perfect edgy, erotic photo for my story.
I love the tantalizing length of chain dipping beneath my name and into shadow. Yum! I do cringe though when looking at those wicked nipple clamps and feel a whole lot of smypathy pains for the model. Youch! His suffering for the sake of my book cover is greatly appreciated.

4. Arm Binders - I took a bit of liberty with this portion of the book and had Bash’s arms restrained behind his back with at the biceps, elbow and wrists. This picture will give you the general idea of the type of restraint I invisioned.
The pictured biceps restraint can be found at Mr S Leather.
5. Ball Gag - Ball gags come in a wide variety.
You can find this ball gag and more at JT’s Stockroom.
6. The Cock Cage - (For those 18 and older *Graphic photo*) To see a picture click here.
7. The Flogger - Floggers can be made from a variety of materials, each providing a different sensation on the flesh.
This flogger was handcrafted by Sire Don. Visit his website if you are interested in high-quality toys at resonable prices.
8. The Paddle - This is another fabulous toy handcrafted by Sire Don.
9. The Penis Plug - I took a bit of literary liberty with the penis plug and electrical play, creating a plug based on this design by Keith from Penis Plugs Ablaze. Keith was a great help with describing the use of the plug and sensations. Thanks again, Keith!
10. The Stainless Steel Butt Plug - This is another item that is available in a wide variety of designs and which I took a bit of literary liberty with.
You can find this butt plug and many more at JT’s Stockroom.
11. Pulsed Electrical Signal Generator - Please us caution and take the time to learn about electrical play from someone experienced with it before experimenting! That said, I recently had the opportunity to experience the sensations delivered by a Violet Wand and all I can say is wow, it was an amazing experience!
You can find this PES and moree at JT’s Stockroom.
12. The Ass Sucker - The name of this device alone is scandalously naughty. Bash certainly found it to be a wild experience. Poor Bash, I really put him through the ringer with all the toys I discovered during my research.
This is yet another devious little toy I discovered at JT’s Stockroom.
13. The Sex Machine - Of course mine had to be extreme with two probes. I don’t beleve much explanation is needed, but if you’d like to see a picture (For those 18 and over) click here.
There are some other more common toys used in the book that I didn’t discuss such as a pleasure swing and padded restraint bench. As I note at the beginning of the book, Trip My Switch is a work of fiction and incorporates only elements of Domination/submission and BDSM. It is not intended to accurately portray a true BDSM or Dom/sub relationship. Use of electrical toys is not recommended without great care and training. Liberties have been taken with the design of the toys used in this fictional work.
As always, thanks for stopping by to check out my ramblings! Happy TT!
