BDSM Stealth Home Dungeon

It’s a sad but true fact that having bondage furniture and a good “dungeon set up” can be problematic in most flats and apartments. 

Property managers tend to not like it. Flat and apartment owners tend to not like it. Having vanilla people over for social gatherings can be awkward when they stumble across something that looks like it should belong in a dungeon. 

That’s okay, because you don’t NEED obvious bondage furniture. There are tons of ways to have a delightfully hot time with a totally stealth dungeon. 

My home is my dungeon, and it doesn’t in the least bit look like it. 

Here are some of the tactics I adopt to have a discreetly kinky home. 

The Home Gym

You can get away with some surprisingly useful kinky things as part of a home gym. And you can exercise, too! Or even combine the two if you like the idea of the Dominant Personal Trainer (and yes, people do fantasize about this). Nothing like being punished (or rewarded) by sexually gratifying your personal trainer as you shape your body to please their demands… 

Here’s my old Dungym, converted from “weightlifting mode” to “Dungeon mode”. Takes all of 15 minutes to set up.

It made for an insanely fun station for all kinds of kink, including bondage, flogging and suspension. I could also chain a pet to it and use it kind of like a cage. When I wasn’t actually lifting weights, that is.

I now have a simpler set up, which includes the rafters in the garage. These are great for chin ups, or tying a pet’s hands above their head. 

We also have a refurbished sturdy wooden coffee table which has been upholstered with layers of foam rubber and covered with an easily cleanable pvc surface. This would look out of place inside the house, but sitting beside the dumbbells makes it look like some kind of home made bench for weightlifting or exercising or… something. 

Sometimes, we actually do use it for exercise. 

The rest of the time, it makes a great platform to put your bottom or pet on for whatever kinky activities you want to do with them. 

One thing I highly recommend is (if you have the space) to dedicate a room of your house or apartment to being your “home gym”. A garage can work if it’s warm enough. 

You’ll often find that these can be very easily converted into fantastic play rooms as well, as long as all the space isn’t taken up by giant cardio equipment like treadmills or “all in one” exercise machines (free weights are better anyway). 

Yoga mats or exercise mats can often be used to provide some padding, and if more is required, you can buy a few giant oversize cushions to use for padded surfaces, kneeling, or full on sex if you like; just make sure you have washable or easily cleanable covers. 

In the living room, if we need to, we have these excellent kitchen chairs which work extremely well for role play and bondage scenes which require someone to be tied to a chair. These are also a bit fun for doing rope practice, and can easily be moved to any room of the house for your various shenanigans. 

Moving to the bedroom, I find it extremely useful to have a giant ass mirror. What can I say? I like the view, and it can be used very well in conjunction with a bit of humiliation, degradation, or objectification dirty talk. 

(I got this for about 10 dollars at a thrift store)

Very Importantly:

One of the best aspects of my bedroom is a set of color changing LED bulbs I installed in my lamps. By doing a quick tidy and then changing the color of the lighting at night, you can very quickly go from “plain bedroom” to “BDSM dungeon”, especially if the lighting is red shaded and you have appropriate music coming from somewhere in the background. Could be speaker, stereo, or TV, it doesn’t matter. Those LED lights make it very simple to change the mood of the whole room.

Of course we have the bed. Enough said. 

But then there’s my favorite. 

This is totally stealth. No one could suspect a thing, unless they knew exactly how I use it. 

Beside the mirror, and within two steps of the bed, I always keep a section of wall completely bare. No pictures. Nothing on the ground in front of it. No clutter whatsoever. 

And this is because bare walls are INCREDIBLY USEFUL for all kinds of kinky power moves. 

There’s just something insanely sexy about pushing your lover up against the wall – whether it’s to kiss them, or simply to lean over them, one arm braced above their head, staring into their eyes, maybe running a finger down their neck. There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that it’s a power move. 

For s type people, it gives them that “oh god, what are they going to do to me?” feeling – you know the one, that nervous thrill of excitement! 

And for D type people like myself, it’s wonderfully fun having that person pinned there – they’re not going anywhere, and I know it. There’s so much more control here. 

And then you can go adding even more bondage or BDSM elements to it, such as: 

• Tying hands above head, and holding the rope in your hands as you execute your “lean in” power move

• Placing a cushion in that spot, and having your pet kneel or maintain a pose there. That single, deliberately bare patch of wall suddenly becomes their frame, and they’re the aesthetic picture. 

• Having your pet all tied up in a harness, hands behind back, and then shoving them against the wall, pinning them there with your weight, while you do whatever else you have in mind with them. Extra intense because of the bondage. 

• Or skipping the physical bondage, and using verbal bondage instead; order them to “place your hands against the wall behind you, and don’t move them” while you then proceed to distract them and play with their obedience. 

• Tell them to lean against the wall with their hands outstretched, forehead pressed against the wall, feet a couple of steps back; then proceed to do your impact or whatever else you enjoy there. 

It’s fucking great! That one wall is probably the kinkiest spot in my bedroom, because of how it gets most frequently used.

 (note: choose the wall that does NOT adjoin to your roommate’s room – they are unlikely to thank you if you wake them up with sudden thumps, gasps and moans right next to them). 

After I started doing this, I never had any problem finding a place to play at a public party, either. 

No waiting for me – if there was something I really wanted to do, and all the furniture was taken, then I’d often find a way to accomplish my goal simply by finding a bare patch of wall in the play room, and taking it over. 

Don’t get me wrong; it’s often nice to have the props; the cross, the cage, etc; and I love playing with those when I get the opportunity – but by no means am I limited by not having them immediately available. 

And there’s no reason why you should be, either! 

Boom. A few stealth dungeon tactics that can be employed in almost any flat, apartment, or house, which won’t be given away by a sudden inspection. 

You’re welcome.
