This is the eighth article about the outcomes of the BDSM and Money Survey. I requested folks to say which varieties of BDSM toys they’d spent cash on since their curiosity started.
An extra article will take a look at what dominants and submissives and switches stated about their spending on toys.
What we like play with
The survey requested folks to say which of the following varieties of toys they’d spent cash on:
- Bondage – 84%
- Impact play – 82%
- Other – 64%
- Medical play – 37%
- Play piercing – 31%
I didn’t ask for extra element of what “Other” could be. I’ll comply with this up someday, particularly as there appears a distinction right here within the responses I received from both sides of the Atlantic.
US vs UK
UK respondents stated they had been a bit of extra probably to purchase stuff for tying folks up and beating them than stated folks from the USA. 86% of UK respondents stated they’d purchased bondage gear (81% US) and 85% of UK respondents had purchased stuff for influence play (79% US). But US respondents had been extra prone to spend on “Other” BDSM stuff – 70% vs the UK’s 62%.
Gender variations
Women respondents had been much less prone to have purchased bondage supplies (82% vs 88% of males) however had been extra prone to have purchased stuff for play piercing (33% vs 27%) and medical play (39% vs 33%).

Top/dominant respondents had been extra prone to have spent cash on any space of play. Bottoms/submissives had been least probably (aside from in medical play). Switches had been the second almost definitely group to have spent cash on every space of toy selection, aside from medical play.
BDSM Component
There was an enormous distinction within the recognition of play piercing between dominants/submissives and the opposite two teams. Whilst solely 24% of dominants/submissives had purchased stuff for play piercing 42% of masters/slaves had needles and 47% of sadists/masochists had purchased sharps.
