Gag

A gag is a tool used to stop someone from speaking and is worn in or on the mouth. In order to give the dominant partner more power, submissives typically wear gagging devices, which are frequently used in conjunction with bondage during BDSM play. Gags can be used as a form of humiliation or punishment, as well as to make a submissive feel more powerless.

More About Gag

One of the most common gags used in BDSM play is probably the ball gag. Straps hold the soft, solid rubber balls of these gags to the head while they are placed into the mouth. Similar in appearance, wiffle ball gags have tiny plastic balls with many holes to facilitate breathing for the wearer. The purpose of open-mouth gags is to allow the user to engage in oral sex by keeping their mouth open. For pony play, bit gags consist of rubber pieces that are placed in the mouth. Cleave gags, forniphilic gags, and penis gags are further types of gags.

When utilizing a gag during BDSM play, safety is a significant concern because obstructing someone's airways increases the risk of asphyxiation. A gag should always fit the wearer properly and not be overly tight. A gagged subordinate should never be left alone. Additionally, when employing a gag, never block the wearer's nose. Never put a gag on someone who is sick or has an allergy.

A person wearing a gag will be unable to say a safe word during a scenario since they are unable to talk. In this situation, a safeword substitute should be chosen in advance. For example, eye signs like a series of blinks or hand gestures such as dropping a handkerchief or clenching a fist can be utilized. When playing BDSM using gags, several players may additionally use a string of three grunts for a safeword.
