You cannot see, you cannot hear, and you have no idea what touch your increasingly sensitive skin will feel next, nor where you on your body…time becomes distorted, and the more things intensify, the more helpless you realise you are.

Sensory deprivation can range from a simple blindfold and earplugs, to a full on sensory deprivation helmets and suits, bondage mitts and other gear.

Have a look at these resources for exploring the delightful world of sensory deprivation, and when you’re done, why not book a visit to at the Serpent Rooms – we have some outstanding pieces of kit to help you play with all your senses, including our extremely popular metal helmet, our rubber hood and leather blindfolds…

• Sensory deprivation – a beginner’s guide
  A complete introduction to sensory deprivation for those who are relatively new to the world of kink, including discussion boundaries, safewords, and how to slowly taper off a scene.
• Sensory deprivation – the ultimate mindfuck
  A short write up detailing how this Dom sets the scene to play with his sub, and the implements he uses to heighten the scene. A good place to get ideas.
• Some Enlightenment About Darkness And Loss of Good Sense
  This page from KinkToyChest details each of the senses, and creative ways for you to interfere with them – don’t forget to use a gag to deaden your Sub’s sense of taste…
• Audio to play during a sensory deprivation scene

Shopping online is a great way to expand your collection of toys – you can browse and compare from the privacy of your own home, at any time of the day, only for some exciting to come through your letter box a few days later.

But what if you’d like to see things in the flesh before you purchase? Maybe you want to try something on first before buying it,  or perhaps you have questions? Going in person to shop in the flesh can be a very exciting experience, for both you and your partner, and can even be a good way meet people, like at the London Alternative Market..

Here are a handful of the shops in London that we enjoy visiting to buy our kink in person… if you know of any more, let us know on Twitter by tweeting @theserpentrooms

The Liberation London, Covent Garden

Hoods, masks, aprons, dresses and more fetishwear for both men and women, plus a section for more intense sessions that include body bags, sleep sacks and slave catsuits. We also like their additional section on erotic bedding, made of latex, which is great for photo shoots or just to give playing at home an extra edge.

Regulation, Islington

If you want to buy a new piece of playroom furniture, or get some made-to-order clothing, then head to Regulation in Islington. They’ve got plenty of pieces of filth on offer, including a pretty hefty selection of electroplay items, anal play, medical tools and plenty of restraints.

Atsuko Kudo, Holloway

You can buy high end specialist latex wear at Atsuko Kudo on north London’s Holloway Road.  It’s mainly geared towards women, with cut away dresses, cat suits, studded berets, hold up suspenders and more lucious latex, that comes with lube supplied, but there are a few couture pieces for men. It’s pricey, but there’s no doubt it will look out of this world.. .

The London Alternative Market, Bank

We’re given LAM a shout out in the past but we couldn’t resist highlighting it again as one of the most diverse and fun places for you to go shopping. There’s kit and kink from all over the country, from erotic photography and wooden toys to party wear, masks, and more, plus an afterparty and great workshops.

A great all-rounder, recommended to us on Twitter, this is the most centrally located shop on our list. But don’t be fooled by its exterior.  Despite having plenty to suit more vanilla play and lots of items for more general requirements like lube and vibrators, they also have quite a wide range of kink and fetish stock, including electro play, wartenburg wheels, chastity devices and more…

As you may have guessed from our Twitter, we’ve been extra-busy lately filming all kinds of clips and videos down in our private dungeon. You can see them all on House of Serpent, which is dedicated to showcasing the custom, specialist clips that we produce with some of the best and most powerful Mistresses in London.

Some the things we really like doing include

• Tickle torture
• Foot worship
• Trampling
• Caning
• Forced facesitting
• Female domination
• Wrestling
• Bondage
• Ball busting

…and quite a lot more. We’ve listed some of our most popular recent below.

Want to request a custom video? theserpentrooms@gmail.com

The Ticklish Slave Girl

Watch Mistress Pip putting one of her slave girls through an intense tickle torture session. The slave girl’s arms are securely restrained above her head with suspension cuffs, and her legs are restrained with a spreader bar and so she is unable to offer any resistance, as Mistress Pip seeks out the most sensitive, ticklish spots. And just as you think it can’t get any more intense, Mistress Pip changes tactics to use a feather instead.

There is an initial look of fear in the Slave Girl’s eyes as she squirms and tries to pull away from the feather, but there’s no escape and she soon erupts into laughter again as Mistress Pip continues the tickle torture with the feather. If you’re a fan of tickling, or simply a fan of the beautiful Mistress Pip, you’ll love this.

Outclassed

Amazonian Killpussy takes on Andy in a Topless Mixed Wrestling match. Killpussy really is a force to be reckoned with. Standing 5ft 10 inches tall (177cm) and tipping the scales at 175 lbs (79Kg), and with many years of wrestling experience behind her, it’s only brave men who take her on. But Andy rises to the challenge and so they take to the mats.

It really isn’t much of a contest. Andy gets thrown around like a rag doll at times and is forced to submit on numerous occasions (so many that we lost count). Killpussy uses her powerful thighs to inflict as much pain as possible on Andy. There are numerous body scissors and headscissors throughout, and Killpussy also pins, chokes, squashes and squeezes Andy for most of the match. Killpussy also expertly applies Rear Naked Chokes, a Camel Clutch, Sleeper Holds, and of course some good old fashioned Schoolgirl Pins and Facesitting to subdue Andy.

If the holds aren’t enough, then don’t forget that this is topless wrestling and maybe this distracted Andy too much from fighting back. But the reality is that he wouldn’t have stood a chance even if Killpussy wasn’t topless. If you like to see a true Amazon dominating a smaller guy then you’ll love this video.

While we love to party, and we love to meet new people we also love learning new skills to play with behind closed doors, especially ones that we can use with our friends in The Serpent Rooms..

Here are some workshops in London that are worth a visit.

Sensory deprivation, London Alternative Market

After you’re done shopping for costumes, toys and other delightful kink items, you can stop into one of LAM’s workshops. This time around at 2pm, they’ll be investigating sensory deprivation, how and why to use it and the practical and safety factors. 5 Feb, £10 (or £5 when bought with market entrance), Bank

Impact play workshop, Club Rub

If you’re interested in impact play, this is the place to go. Promising a journey through all forms of CP (corporal punishment), this will be an excellent primer for those who want make their impact play more intense. 8 Feb, £50, Hackney 

Beginner’s rope jam, Anatomie

Get to grips with the basics of Shibari at this beginner’s rope jam from Anatomie, who’ll be leading an introductory 1.5 hour lesson in their gorgeous studio. 9 Feb, £7, Peckham

Latex workshop, Club Rub

This is a one-on-one workshop all about the joys of latex, and it’l include making your own eye patch, collar, lower face mask and apron. You’ll also learn how to mend and repair your latex, and other crafting skills, but this isn’t for beginners, and you’ll need to have quite a bit of kit already. Available during the week, email for details. £140, email to book

Spanking has got to be one the most versatile and fun kinks to play with… you can keep it simple at home bent over a knee, or go more extreme, shackled to a wall, strapped to a St Andrews cross or in even more devious device bondage.

A good, sharp smack can increase blood flow to the area making it extra-sensitive, and more receptive to touch, boosting endorphins and stimulating nerve endings (which can feel wonderful). It can also be more than that – punishment for subs and pain sluts that need to be put in their place, and can be great fun for dominants too.

But it can be more complicated than simply smacking someone’s buttocks, if you prefer. There’s all kinds of different pressures, rhythms and games that can turn spanking into a delicious game that can last all night. Different positions can change things dramatically too – we particularly like spanking someone who’s helplessly trapped in stocks…

House of Serpent spanking clips

In this clip, Mistress Pussy Willow dishing out some brutal, over-the-knee spanking to her sub in Topless Facesit Wrestle

In The Lashing, Mistress Pussy Willow is so displeased with her sub that she decides the only treatment is a hard spanking, followed by a caning.

Spanking resources

If you’d like to learn more about spanking, here are some resources

Uberkinky – The beginner’s guide to spanking

• Detailed run down of the practical elements of spanking, including lots of important advice on safety. Remember – never hit the coccyx, the spine, or anywhere near the kidneys.

Your Tango – Spanking for beginners

• A good overview of why people love spanking and how to introduce it to your relationship

Best Slave Training – How to spank your slave

• Plenty of good ideas on different positions, with many you can do around the house

• A highly informative post that also covers biting, pinching and other forms of impact play.

It’s always nice to make new friends to play with, especially when they’re of the same mindset as you. And while fetish parties are fun, they can be too loud to talk, or come with a charged atmosphere that can make it difficult to break the ice.

If you’d like to meet new people, book yourself into one of these events designed to bring lovers of fetish, BDSM and all things kinky together…

Club Rub Fetish Speed Dating
