The fact that someone else is “enacting their will” on the wearer’s body can make mouth gags erotic all on their own – no other underlying feelings required. Consider it like bondage – for the mouth.

(This is advanced-level play, though, and don’t engage in it to start!)įor a lot of people, the fact that the mouth gag can’t be removed is enough for them to find it erotic. For a lot of people into the “suffering” of a gag, the constant reminder of their suffering (similar to what you can find in rope bondage communities) is cathartic or submission-enhancing. While gags don’t have to be uncomfortable, you can select gags with an intention to cause discomfort and suffering. Mouth gags can also physically force the body (the mouth especially) into a position that it isn’t used to being in. Not only is this embarrassing from a visual level for a lot of people who aren’t accustomed to drooling, but the fact that it’s uncontrollable and might feel uncomfortable can add further layers to the play. Some people can close their mouths around those.) This inability to swallow means that the wearer is going to be drooling – and drooling a lot. If the mouth isn’t able to close around the gag, there’s no way to close the mouth – and most people can’t swallow without the ability to close the mouth. Many people tend to find that kind of feeling to be erotic.Īlmost all of the bondage gags also cause the wearer to drool. Since your partner won’t be able to talk, they’ve lost their most basic sense of communication – and protection. Instead of being able to form sentences, the person is now mumbling incoherently – and may not even be able to get any actual, functional words out. As speech is a large way of how many of us communicate with the world at large, this can instantly chance the entire headspace of the gag wearer. Playing with these ideas brings up BDSM gags – sensual bondage items especially designed for wearing in the mouth.įirst off, gags can drastically reduce the ability to speak.

Our mouths are the way that we generally communicate with the world – in addition to being a relatively private space (how often do you let people touch and see inside your mouth?). A single mouth gag can provide feelings of vulnerability, helplessness, humiliation, frustration, embarrassment, submission, discomfort, suffering, and more. What isn’t to like about BDSM gags!? They’re an easy-to-use tool that can bring out a whole host of different feelings.
