The Handy Guide to Creative BDSM Toy Sources

I thought I'd republish this list, found on http://www.sexuality.org/, for all those kinky people who either don't live near, or are too shy to visit a BDSM specialty store or sex shop. Often called "pervertables", you'd be surprised how many household and everyday items can morph into kinky props. The fact that most of these things are quite inexpensive is an added bonus!

Music Stores: Metal banjo picks (excellent and inexpensive "claws"), tambourine brushes, drumsticks, sound effect toys.
