I'll never forget the first pair of real handcuffs I bought. I went to this random sex shop in NJ with my sub. We were new to exploring kink. I remember seeing them and instantly wanting them. Funny enough, they were the best pair of handcuffs I've ever owned (they don't sell them anymore). It look me 7 years to finally retire them, but I still keep them around and they're absolutely precious to me. I'm so glad I bought my first bits of gear in person, nothing beats that experience.
