In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are a broad range of color and materials available for bondage play. From nylon to silk, you can have varying levels of comfort, security, etc., with the varying types of rope. If you are unsure what type you want or need, talk to your local sex-shop. Rope can be a dangerous tool in BDSM, as it can, if used improperly, cause nerve damage, asphyxiation, or even death. For instance, never press the rope against the front of your partner’s throat. Some things to consider when using rope play:  When someone is bound, you should never leave them by themselves. Avoid positions that make breathing difficult. Make sure the ropes are comfortable and allow for circulation. There should be at least a finger’s-width of room between the rope and your partner’s skin. There are cuffs for the wrists, legs, and even genitalia. They are a quicker way of restraining your partner than rope and can be safer depending on the type. They come in a lot of varieties from soft-velcro to locking metal handcuffs. Again, check with your partner to determine what type to use. There are a few different types of gags out there, and you should talk to your partner about the best fit for them. A ball gag can create an intense sense of vulnerability as it can impede breathing somewhat and stretches the jaw in a way the body isn’t used to. A bit gag is friendlier on the jaw and breathing. With any gag you choose, you should establish a safe-gesture or signal, so your partner can let you know they feel unsafe. Don’t keep the gag on for longer than twenty minutes, especially if someone is new to gag play. A leash can be fun for the sense of control it offers to the dominatrix and the sense of being controlled it gives to the sub. In order to use a leash safely, don’t pull on it sharply. Make sure the collar is fitted properly, leaving two fingers’ width of room between the collar and the skin.
Summary: Choose a rope that is right for you. Play safely with rope. Add cuffs to the play. Choose a gag that fits your partner. Use a leash.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It sounds simple, but making and holding eye contact with a guy can give him just enough encouragement to take an interest in you.  When you're talking to him, make sure that you maintain eye contact. Try not to let your eyes wander, especially in the direction of another guy. You can even use eye contact to drive him crazy when you're standing on opposite sides of the room. Make eye contact with him, and after holding it for a few moments, drop your gaze. Slowly drag your eyes back up to meet his again, keeping a coy or flirty smile on your face as you do. It's the inside that counts, of course, but the outside gets seen first. When you're trying to make a guy crazy early on, wear clothes, makeup, and accessories that highlight your best features.  This does not mean that you should wear especially revealing or tight-fitting clothes. Revealing clothes will catch a guy's interest temporarily, but they probably won't drive him crazy for very long. A dress that shows a little leg or a blouse that hugs your body in all the right places can work wonders, but your appearance should scream “attractive” more than “sexy.” The idea is to make your body and your face look its best. If the clothes are something you objectively look amazing in even when you're not trying to capture a guy's heart, they will probably work for this goal, as well. After you've gotten to know the guy, it's time to drop your guard and pull out the casual clothes. This tells him that he has successfully broken through the barricade and wedged his way into your life.  The clothes you wear should still be clean, of course. A relaxed pair of jeans and a t-shirt make a nice casual look, but a shirt that's three sizes too big with a giant mustard stain on it may not be the best choice. After you've established a habit of dressing down, you should still dress up occasionally to reignite a few of the sparks he initially felt the first time he saw you. Spray a little perfume behind your ears or apply a scented lotion after a shower. When you smell alluring, it can make a guy want to move in even closer to you. Moderation is key here. The scent should be just strong enough to waft gently in the air. If your perfume is too strong, it can easily overpower his sense of smell and make him want to put some distance between you. Plenty of guys go crazy for a girl who feels comfortable enough in her own skin to break into the occasional random dance.  You can do this at a party or a club, but it's even more effective if you randomly start dancing to the radio when you're in your kitchen or in your car. Try inviting him to dance along with you, as well. Watching you can be enjoyable, but being invited to join the fun can also drive him wild. When you know he's watching, twirl your hair between your fingers as you speak or casually flip it over your shoulder as you're working on something. Make the action look as natural as possible, though. If your hair is short or pulled back, you might consider brushing your hands against the nape of your neck or your bare shoulders, instead. This motion can be just as sensual.
Summary: Make eye contact. Dress yourself up. Dress down. Wear a signature scent. Dance. Play with your hair.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This cannot be emphasized enough! Gerbils have very thin skin on their tails. If you try to lift him up by his tail, the skin would slip off of his tail, exposing the bones. If the skin comes off, your veterinarian would need to amputate that portion of the tail. Otherwise, the damaged portion of the tail would slough off. The portion of the tail that you grab may actually break off as a defense mechanism. In the wild, this allows gerbils to slip away from predators that grab them by the tail. Unfortunately, your gerbil’s tail will not regrow once broken off. In the wild, a predator bird will swoop down from overhead and scoop up a gerbil with its claws. If you reach down and wrap your hand around your gerbil, he will probably think you’re a predator. To avoid being seen as the bad guy, scoop him up from underneath, rather than grabbing him from above. When you have picked up your gerbil, do not try to lay him on his back in your hand. In the wild, gerbils typically do not lie down with their bellies in the air. If you try to put your gerbil in this position, it will feel very uncomfortable to him. He may struggle so much to get out of the position that he injures himself. If your gerbil starts to nibble at your hand or looks like he wants to jump, do not punish him by yelling at him or flicking his nose. Punishing him will serve only to make your gerbil fearful of you, which would weaken your bond with him. Instead, give him a gentle puff of air.
Summary:
Do not pick up your gerbil by his tail. Refrain from picking up your gerbil from above. Avoid placing your gerbil on his back. Do not punish your gerbil.
