This sex cross looks incredible! I love that they have added the extra bars at the top and bottom as this also allows for more restraint opportunities. The patina finish of the metal also adds to cold, industrial feel. This is a pricey piece of BDSM gear and it takes up a fair amount of room, so this is one for the real BDSM enthusiasts out there!

I love how accessible these restraints are! They are so quick and easy to set up and you can easily adjust them to your partner’s height. The leather cuffs also have a nice BDSM feel to them and they are detachable so you can go from one bondage position to another without having to remove them completely. Of course, it doesn’t have quite the same look or feel as a full BDSM cross structure but it it’s a very affordable, more discreet alternative that takes up a fraction of the space!

The best feature of this cross is definitely the adjustable angle! Having your partner leaned back at an angle both intensifies their vulnerability and gives you more variation in how you use the cross! This cross also has more padding and less bare metal than the other options in this review, making it a little more comfortable! It’s a big plus that it can be taken down for storage but that does take a little work and it’s pretty big so you will need to find a good spot for it!

BDSM Safety

Here are some simple but essential safety guidelines for safe and sexy and BDSM play!

Consent is essential

Consent is essential - BDSM Safety
Consent is always the first step in any sexual activity. True consent must be freely-given, reversible, informed, enthusiastic, and specific.

Be aware of the risks

Be aware of the risks  - BDSM Safety
It’s essential to be aware of the risks involved, both so you can give informed consent but also so you can be prepared. Whenever you are using ropes or fabric restraints, you should have some safety scissors on hand to cut your partner out in an emergency.

Discuss your boundaries

Discuss your boundaries - BDSM Safety
As well as talking about your boundaries regarding being restrained, you will also want to talk about what types of stimulation you want to explore during the play.

Agree on a safeword

Agree on a safeword  - BDSM Safety
A safeword should be used to stop the play immediately. Not sure what to choose? Check out our guide on how to choose a safeword.

Check in with your partner

Check in with your partner  - BDSM Safety
Be sure to check in regularly with your partner during the play. You should check in verbally as well as monitoring their body language. You should also check before moving onto different or more intense forms of stimulation.

Finish with some aftercare

Finish with some aftercare - BDSM Safety
Aftercare is essential for navigating the intense feelings that come with BDSM play. General aftercare activities include cuddling, talking, having something to drink. An example of activity specific aftercare is tending to skin after impact play.

DIY St. Andrew's Cross

We always recommend buying purpose made BDSM cross, especially if it is going to be weight bearing or free standing. That being said, there are some ways to recreate the full body X-position style without buying a full-blown BDSM cross. We do not recommend making your own sex toys and always recommend that you purchase purpose-made sex toys from a reputable shop. We are in no way responsible for any harm caused due to the use or sharing of these DIYs. You are 100% responsible for the outcome should you choose to make your own sex toys.

Create your own X-shapred restraint points

Create your own X-shapred restraint points - DIY St. Andrew's Cross
If you have a strong vertical surface like a wall, strong door or bed frame, you can attach wall mounting plates with O-rings to create restraint points. You will need to measure to get the right height and distance apart for the person being restrained.

Use door or bed restraints

Use door or bed restraints - DIY St. Andrew's Cross
If you have two sets of door restraints or an under bed restraint system, you can loop them around the back of your door so the restraints come out at the top and bottom of the door. Close the door to lock them in place, and you are ready to go!

How to use a BDSM Cross

Getting your partner locked in is only the first step in using a BDSM cross! Here are some different ways you can enjoy yours!

Choose your restraints

Choose your restraints

You can use ropes or cuffs to restrain your partner. You don’t want to tie them too tightly and they should be able to move a little bit. It’s important to check the restraints don’t interfere with their circulation in any way.

Impact play

Impact play

The BDSM cross is perfect for impact play as it the position gives you great access and it’s easier to use a range of tools in the vertical position. You can lock your partner up facing away from you to put your spanking tools to use!

Sensation play

Sensation play

The open position of the BDSM cross is also great for all kinds of sensation play. Watch your sub squirm as you tease them with a feather tickler or trace a pinwheel over their skin.

Forced orgasms

Forced orgasms

During forced orgasm play, a dominant partner takes control of bringing their sub to orgasm at their will, often giving them multiple orgasms. Both being tied up and being forced to orgasm involve the sub giving up control to their partner, which enhances the power dynamic. It’s important to note this refers to  consensual forced orgasm play in which the person has consented to forced orgasms.

Orgasm denial

Orgasm denial

This involves keeping the submissive partner in a high state of arousal without letting them reach orgasm until the dominant partner allows it.

How to clean a BDSM cross

Cleaning instructions will vary depending on the materials of your BDSM cross, so you should always refer to the cleaning instructions that come with the cross. You will want to use a compatible soap and water to wipe your cross down in between uses.

FAQ

A St Andrew's Cross is the same as a BDSM cross. It is named after the shape of cross that Saint Andrew was said to be crucified on.

We only work with shops we trust so you can shop safely from any links in this review. The Stockroom and Oxy-Shop are fantastic for more advanced, heavy duty bondage items like BDSM crosses.

BDSM crosses are used for full body restraint, usually within a BDSM scene involving power play. Once the submissive partner is tied to the cross, the dominant partner is in charge of delivering the stimulation. This is agreed on before the scene and could include things like impact play, sensation play, or genital stimulation.

What is a BDSM cross?

A BDSM cross, also known as a St. Andrew's Cross, is a structure that's used for full body bondage. It consists of an X-shaped frame that has restraint points on each arm of the cross. The submissive partner is bound to the frame using ropes or restraints, holding their body in a spread eagle position. This gives the dominant partner ability to tease their partner's body with their hands, mouth, or sex toys. BDSM crosses are great for exploring impact play, sensation play and other types of power play! The open leg position also gives you better access to stimulate the submissive partner's genitals. Not to mention, they look incredible in BDSM dungeon!
