I had a preconceived notion that shackles weren't something for the home, but for clubs or photo shoots. But it turns out they look stylish in a room, especially when made of wood. I bought some from spiked manacles , and they really look like a piece of furniture. My wife laughed at first, but then she said they were actually beautiful. Now we always have them on hand, and we use them more often than we planned. They're reliable and comfortable, no bruises or pain, just a feeling of control.
