Sensation Play & Sensory Deprivation

Sensation and sensory deprivation play are just two sides of the very same coin; one seeks to enhance or stimulate the senses, while the other seeks to nullify them. The many subcategories of this sort of BDSM activity could easily fill an entire book but, for the sake of brevity, we’ll limit ourselves to about a dozen of the most commonly practiced forms of sensation and sensory deprivation play that you might encounter or have an interest in.

Blindfolds & Gags

The use of blindfolds and gags is probably the most pervasive form of sensory deprivation play in the world, both in the BDSM lifestyle, and outside of it. The relative ease with which a blindfold or gag can be fashioned or crafted from simple and readily available household materials makes this sort of kinky experimentation easy and exciting, even for vanilla couples.

Simple, ready-made blindfolds can be purchased from just about any fetish retailer, though the prices may be somewhat inflated, compared to similar products designed for and marketed to insomniacs and travelers. Some features to look for may include: shapes that conform to the contours of the face, a durable and adjustable securing strap, quality materials and stitching, and the use of color-fast dyes. You can expect to pay $7 to $25 for a blindfold from a fetish retailer.

Blindfolds can definitely be a great addition to your fetish toy box. When used with skill, they can alter or heighten a bottom’s psychological and physiological responses to other stimuli significantly. Introducing an element of the unknown - not knowing what is happening, how it is happening, or even who might be in the room watching or participating - can make even a mundane scene a lot more interesting. The blindfold doesn’t necessary even have to be used just to deny the bottom’s ability to visually confirm what is actually going on around her. A blindfold can also be used to stoke the imagination or create the impression of things occurring when they are not. For example, the two of you may not be ready or willing to actually invite a third person into your bedroom for a threesome, but the use of a blindfold can make the role-play scenario seem much more real, creating the impression that there is someone else in the room with you. Serving up treats for the other senses can also enhance the imagined scenario by adding theatrical touches, such as a mysterious knock at the door, the distant presence of an unfamiliar voice, the nearby scent of a strange cologne, or being touched in an unfamiliar way.

There are few safety issues to be concerned with, when it comes to blindfolds. Just be careful to apply a blindfold to your bottom while he or she is stationary and, preferably, immobile. Attempting to move about with a blindfold on is not only awkward and dangerous, but difficult to explain at the local emergency room. Additionally, the use of a blindfold places the entire burden of
