Is 'Fifty Shades' to blame for rise in handcuff emergencies?

Darn, I have no hand cuffs.

[bigheadfred]

Then you can come save me and we won’t need to involve the fire department.

[Yo-Yo]

[RightGeek]

I guess it is a step up from gerbils.

[Jeff Chandler]

. . . sex toys . . . hook-up sites . . . sexual domination

Those folks are clueless. I feel sorry for people who think that sex has to be complicated to be joyful and fulfilling.

[Slump Tester]

Reminds me of the one about the masochist and the sadist who got married.

The masochist says "Oh, beat me, spank me!" and the sadist says "Heh-heh, Noooo...!"

[Morgana]

I'm better off not knowing.

[Clay Moore]

Could be worse. We picked up a guy one time with a cape on that jumped off the dresser towards the bed to impress his girlfriend.

The ceiling fan zotted him.

[Norm Lenhart]

This thread just screams “Laz” ;)

[Sparticus]

Hmm... maybe Mrs. Sparticus could be interested in reading this shady grey tomb.

♫ I got a brand new pair of handcuffs
hope you have a brand new key. ♫

♫ I read that book
I got to page sixty three
had to stop there cause I was playing with me ...♫

It’s also credited with boosting sales of sex toys, driving women to hook-up sites and fueling a craze over sexual domination.

So, it’s not surprising there would be a downside.

&&&
How disgusting this writer is. The downside includes the degenerate behavior she cites in the first sentence above.

[Bigg Red]

I would not recommend asking your wife to read this disgusting filth.

Perhaps your typo of “tomb” for “tome” was a Freudian slip brought about by your conscience.

[lormand]

Most all sexually deviant behavior is now main stream. Pedophilia will be the next civil rights push, since the homo community harbors most of them.

[mylife]

LOL!!

“Meatman” to the... *ZOT*

First rule of owning handcuffs: stash extra keys. Lots of extra keys. Make sure you have a long-handled key for when they’re behind your back. Second rule: Learn to pick the lock for when you don’t have a key.

I have a few pairs of handcuffs, but not for the reasons above. I carry them (or have them handy) whenever I carry a gun, which is pretty much all the time. Seems sensible to me that any situation where I draw a gun in self defense is a situation where instead of shooting somebody, I might well end up holding somebody at gunpoint. At that point, it’s important to get control of them immediately. It’s hard to call 911 with somebody at gunpoint, without dropping your guard. Then it will take what seems like hours for the cops to get there. A pair of cuffs can help solve this.

I’ve got a pair in my vehicle, and a couple pairs at home... And keys stashed all over. I also have some zip-tie cuffs. They’re almost as good and work well in a pinch.

Seems awfully tricky handcuffing someone with one hand while they are trying to take the gun out of your other hand (one ping only, hehe).
