"Play" or a DS relationship or the lifestyle itself depend much, much more on the imagination and the ability to think than they do on the use of toys and gadgets. In fact, in capable hands, a dominant needs nothing more than his voice and his eyes to convey all he needs to his submissive. The props and furniture are just icing on the cake.
