How is sensory deprivation used in BDSM?

A popular technique in BDSM (and sensuous sexytime, too) is sensory deprivation, which involves taking away one or more senses to force us to concentrate on our other senses. Blindfolds, for instance, are frequently used to prevent us from seeing, but this pushes us to estimate what will happen next by using our senses of touch, smell, hearing, and taste. Because we rely on all five senses, this is an excellent method to force us to focus unusually. Our sense of touch is more acute, our hearing is deeper, our sense of smell is sharper, and we can taste things more intensely when wearing a blindfold.

Sight

Since sight is the sense humans depend on the most, it is the most prevalent type of sensory deprivation. As we have already discussed, the most popular tool for sensory deprivation is a blindfold. Limiting vision can also be achieved by eliminating peripheral vision, like a horse wearing side blinders. We can only see what is in front of us when we wear a mask. Another recurring motif in BDSM is hoods. They are excellent at reducing hearing and vision.

Taste

Although we can't truly eliminate taste, we can overpower it by consuming meals with intense flavors. Mouthwash, sour candies, onions, or bitters are excellent ways to cover up the next taste that is noticed in your mouth. Smell and taste are interdependent. Therefore, taste is somewhat impaired if the nose is blocked.

Learn which tongue areas are sensitive to which flavors, then cruelly overwhelm them for further enjoyment. If left for an extended period, extremely sour candies on the sides of the tongue close to the center might overwhelm a person to the point of tears.

Smell

Just plugging the nose will block the sense of smell. As previously stated, this also has a slight impact on taste. Your sweetheart will be forced to concentrate solely on their skin sensations if you use a clothespin on the nose and a hood that blocks out both sight and sound. Both the positive and the negative are heightened by this.

Hearing

Earplugs, hoods, and loud music or noise-canceling headphones are all excellent methods to reduce hearing. When engaging in kinky fun, play the same music repeatedly to get the most out of your hearing. This accomplishes two goals.

It uses loud music to mask out the sound. Additionally, it teaches the body and mind to seek kink or sex when the music starts. Another advantage of discordant electronic music is that it can lead to mental confusion and hearing loss. This is especially helpful when you want the submissive to be a little puzzled and concentrate on their other senses during questioning scenarios.

Touch

Depriving someone of their sense of touch differs slightly from depriving them of their other senses. The human body's largest organ is the skin. The sense of touch can be properly diminished only by applying a topical anesthetic that numbs the skin or by creating a barrier (liquid latex, plastic wrap). Both of them have possible side effects that you should be aware of before using (low blood pressure, latex allergy, seizure disorders, etc.).

 To entice the senses that aren't dulled, try playing with one or more of these types of deprivation before beginning with some fantastic sensory play. You might be surprised to learn how daring it is to tickle someone with a feather while wearing a blindfold! Enjoy yourself and enjoy your sex!
