BDSM rooms with a cage

A cage is one of the pieces that separates a real playroom from a romantic suite. It is about control and waiting more than movement: one partner locked in, the other free to come and go, watch, tease or ignore. It suits power exchange, pet play and long, slow scenes, and it is often the most striking thing in the photos.

Cages come in different forms. A floor cage is a low steel box you kneel or lie in; a standing cage is tall enough to stand upright; some beds and benches have a cage built into the base. A few are hung from the ceiling. The listing photos show which kind a room has.

Size

Ask for the dimensions if the photos do not make them clear. A cage that is comfortable for a few minutes can become very tight after half an hour, especially for a tall person.

Floor and padding

Bare steel bars on a hard floor are hard on knees. Check whether there is a mat or padding inside, or bring a cushion or a blanket.

The lock

Some cages close with a bolt, others with a padlock. If there is a padlock, make sure you know where the key is before anyone goes in.

Never leave the person in the cage alone in the room, and keep the key or the bolt within reach of the free partner at all times. Agree on a safeword and a gesture, in case talking is part of what you take away. Check in regularly, offer water, and let the person out to stretch: cramps come faster than you think.
