8 XXX : bdsm

I like the look of the hogtie, visually, but it looks like it would prevent most flogging and get in the way of fucking, too... does he use a toy on you, or his hands, or is there a position I'm not visualizing correctly? I'd love to get one of these clips for my wife but she's very much into being 'used' rather than just restrained. Can you help me understand what works and doesn't work, from your perspective?
All tied up and nowhere to go ;)?
Is there a gag in there too?
I can never figure out much to do in this position to a male sub, other than a remote-controlled vibrator and temperature play. Gets in the way of most things I usually do. Ideas?
