What is your experience with blindfolds, gags, earplugs or similar items?
Wendel: We tried
having the spankee blindfolded and wearing noise canceling headphones
playing “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies”. The Misses cried out much
louder each time the paddle whacked her fanny. She said it seem more
intense because the music relaxed her and then the surprise whack of the
paddle produced endorphins, adrenalin or whatever chemicals the body
makes to increase pleasure. When it was my turn I did not want her to
stop. My bottom hurt so bad after that I could barely get my pants back
on but the pleasure was well worth the pain.
Restraints? Bought a pair, tried it once and never used it again. We just did not like it.
Barrel: We tried a
blindfold and I didn’t care for it as I like to see what is coming
before I feel it. Never used ear plugs, and won’t as I like to hear the
“whurp” of the cane before it is administered. We do use a perforated
ball gag occasionally to heighten the aura and when the caning will be
extended or severe. Restraints are commonly used when we do a session.
Roz: We have used
restraints and blindfolds in the past. For me it definitely added to
the experience and my other senses were on overdrive. We have never used
earplugs or headphones.
Rosco: Blindfolds, gags and light bondage are usual components of our repertoire these days.
Irene
will pull a (sometimes clean, sometimes not) pair of panties or a panty
girdle over my head, the tie satin scarves over my eyes and mouth.
She’ll tell me she’s tired of my sass and doesn’t want to hear a word
from me.
She might strap me down on our massage table for a sound
thrashing. Then she’ll put me down for a nap on my back with my wrists
handcuffed to my thighs (being too enthusiastic with bondage has caused
neck, back and shoulder pain).
Sometimes I’ll be required to give Irene an extended foot massage while blindfolded and gagged.
Oddly,
I’ll drift off into an erotic slumber for half an hour or so then
patiently wait to hear her footsteps when she returns to give me more
attention. Irene will administer another thrashing, always with a
lecture, before indulging in more traditional intimate activities.
Dan: We've never
tried any kind of sensory restriction, and I doubt we would. As the
recipient, I already have a very narrow focus on a single sensation
during a spanking -- the sensation of the brush or paddle slamming into
my butt. I think my wife gets more out of the other sensory inputs,
particularly sounds. She has said she loves the sound of that paddle or
strap striking.
CEM: Nope on all three...never would.
Prefectdt: I have tried
blindfolds and gags whilst on the receiving end. Always at the request
of the person handing out the whups, not asked for by me. A blindfold
and someone who knows how to direct the mind play are a combination that
has often added positively to my experience. Gags, on the other hand,
especially ball gags, have been for the benefit of the spanker, I just
don't mind them. I am happy to be gagged, in the spirit of compromise,
but it is more for the benefit of the other party in the interaction.
Ear plugs and headphones do not appeal to me, at all, and I would take
some convincing to try them out.
Bonnie: Sensory
restriction can be either good or bad, depending upon the context. In a
playful scene, blindfold spanking games, like guess the implement, can
be fun. I have a problem with noise cancelling headphones because they
can make a scene too intense for me. Likewise, I don’t like any gag
that restricts my breathing. That’s a hard limit.
But if he wants to tie me up or tie me down, I’m all in for that spanking.
Red: Interesting
ideas, but we have not ever tried any of these. The idea of guess the
implement when blindfolded would possibly add another element of fun to
the activity. Not hearing the stroke, and not knowing when it would
happen, could be very intense. Another reason to buy noise cancelling
headphones for travel on airplanes.
Hermione: We have used restraints in the past, but after reading Gerald's Game, I'm not too eager for them. I wouldn't mind being blindfolded, but a ball gag is too creepy, even in photos. Headphones might be a possibility if I bought wireless ones.
