I have tried it and absolutely loved it. I like to be tied and to tie my lover and just have a blast with it. You do need to be careful with any bondage and I would suggest the use of a "safe word" that if used by either partner would STOP any activity. You want it to be something you wouldn't normally say during sex. We use zebra.
I think teasing is the best part of light bondage as you can control or be controlled and really have a lot of fun!
I never liked cuffs either but had some fuzzy soft cuffs that tied to the bed posts. I need to find them I think!
