Leashes and collars are commonly used in BDSM play to symbolize dominance and submission. Leashes allow a dominant partner to lead and control their submissive partner, while collars serve as a symbol of ownership and submission. Both leashes and collars can be made of various materials such as leather, metal, or fabric, and come in a variety of styles, including adjustable, locking, and decorative. They can be used in BDSM activities such as pet play, BDSM role-playing, and as part of a wider BDSM scene. Leashes and collars are popular items in BDSM kits and are essential for those interested in exploring power dynamics and control in their intimate relationships.
