Coupling Gagging and BDSM Play can be a a fun activity to indulge in with your submissive as a dominant. It is an extremely handy accessory that can be used in a million different ways in a d/s dynamic. For instance, a ball gag can either be used as a stand-alone accessory or activity or coupled with an intense bondage session. However, if you are looking for tools to explore gagging with your bottom, a ball gag is not the only one.

There are several different techniques and accessories to try, however, like many other activities in the BDSM, the level of a gagging tool or techniques depends on how up you are the advanced BDSM ladder. Moreover, gagging can be either over the mouth, which means a simple gag item placed on your mouth. They can also be stuffed into your mouth or force keep your mouth open.

For obvious reasons, gagging can be risky if the right safety measures aren’t applied. If you are new to this, make sure you know enough to try it with your submissive. Being a dominant is a great responsibility. Your submissive is a human being at your disposal and is depending on you. Study and learn about gagging, and if you are wondering where to start, we’ll let you know that every BDSM activity should start with deciding on safety and discussing consent. With consent comes trust which is the building block of all BDSM relationships. Once trust is broken in a d/s dynamic, there is not coming back.

Safety First
The simplest of gags can hinder your submissive’s ability of speech. Where the feeling of having added control over on of your submissive’s senses is powerful, with no safety measures in place it can easily go wrong. Since your slave wouldn’t be able to speak, a safe word wouldn’t be any good, so you will have to come up with a safe gesture. Any sign can do as long is it easier to create and can be signaled from a visible position. For instance, if your submissive is on the ground, you won’t be able to see them blinking eyes. Once your submissive signals, check on them right away no matter how you much you are into the scene.

Also, when gagging them make sure the other passage of breathing they have, i.e. their nose, is clear. Another factor to consider is to check if the gag item you are using has some loose items than could accidentally be swallowed. Once safety precautions are out of the way, you can then look at how you can couple gagging with other BDSM activities.

Verbal Humiliation
Humiliating your submissive verbally usually means getting to call them words, name and phrases without them replying back. However, the same can be done with a gag in their mouth. This will guarantee they fact that they power of their replying to you has been taken away and you can humiliate them as much as you want without them having the liberty of replying back. Gaging adds more control to the situation and has one enhanced psychological effect.

Impact Play
Impact Play is, on its own, a very strong and demanding activity. However, this is an BDSM activity with which gagging can be used. If you haven’t experienced gagging your before, you’d think that your submissive would go completely silent if gagged. However, that’s not the case, they will still have muffled sounds coming out of their mouth and these can be a great turn on for many. Your submissive moaning muffled sounds when you are hitting them shows helplessness and adds more pleasure to the dynamic.

Bondage
Bondage takes away the freedom to react physically and gagging takes away the power of expressing freely verbally. With gagging in place while bondage, it takes away power from more than senses and builds double the sexual tension. The energy has lesser points to release itself with two important outputs out of the way which makes for a stronger release from somewhere else.

Speech Restriction
The ability to talk is power. Gagging takes that away and is precisely why works well in power exchange situations. Moreover, if, as a domme, you decide to not just stop at a ball gag and use a dildo gag, it can not only take away the power of speech but also transcend your submissive’s physical boundary. Although not doing as much physically as some of the other BDSM activities, gagging tools can make a submissive helpless and even humiliate them if used in the right manner.

So, why does something as simple as gagging and restricting speech work so well in a d/s dynamic? This is because gagging touches multiple aspects a BDSM dynamic, the two most important of which are control and restricting your slave. The way a gag looks visually placed at a submissive’s mouth can also be a turn on for a dominant. Moreover, you cannot get used to gagging as it has several levels to it and encourages experimentation, another important factor that keeps any d/s dynamic going.
