These are not those kinds of handcuffs. I have a few different kinds of handcuffs, but all are like those found in prisons, or at local police departments in the States. The handcuffs that are used for bondage (as well as bondage bracelets) generally have leather or some kinds of padding so your wrists do not come in direct contact with the metal; there is risk for serious injury when using the standard "police issue" handcuffs in such games. Many times, the handcuffs used for sex games have very simple locking mechanisms to allow a person without lockpicking experience to eventually free themself (if they have lots of time).
I have had friends (women) who "work in the industry" who kept such supplies. This was years ago, and the ones I knew have done well for themselves. They now have degrees, non-industry jobs, and in one case several houses and an apartment complex. To comment on the $250 per hour that people were coplaining about in another thread, the high-class escorts who charge this amount and more often have degrees and can pretend to be anything that is required. Some can attend medical conferences and speak the language of various trade shows very well. Many are quite good at social engineering, and get well compensated to not appear to be escorts.
However, their lifestyle tends to "convert" many into lesbians as they encounter a large number of men who are cheating on wives or girlfriends, and as a result eventually stereotype men and distrust men enough to be unable to be in reltionships with them. Some eventually go back to a heterosexual life, but not all.
I've attended what I can best describe as a fettish party and show. There is a whole collection of rules in this subculture. Wearing a whip on one said says one thing, wearing it on another can mean another... and just what it means can change from one region to another. Some have published "underground" books to let people know how to identify the interests of people at these shows based on what and how they wear their clothing. The one I attended was an unbelieveable once-in-a-lifetime experience. They had different things going on in different rooms. One guy was performing self-mutiliation in piercing himself with thin steel rods (several) and then had help from others in attaching ropes and hanging by his skin from the ceiling. They had artwork of various types available for sale, and even a play half-way through the show. People were engaging in sex which seemed casual enough.
I know enough to know it is not my scene but am impressed with how specialized communication can become when it comes to humans looking to have sex. I also did appreciate my friend's kindness for lending me clothing so that I could fit-in and the fun we had when we had to stop by a local "general purpose retail chain" (place like WalMart) dressed up in out vinyl outfits on the way to the show to pick up some black shoe polish and a brush. Parents held thier kids close as though we were some kind of criminals.
The reason for starting this thread was discussion of handcuffs, but it seems to have morphed into this. Instead of polluting the LP forum with this, it is reborn as a new thread.
