One of the more thrilling things you can add to your kinky play is blindfolding your partner. Any strip of fabric that effectively covers the eyes and blocks vision will work, but if you want to really go all the way, nothing beats a blinding hood. Whether you select one that has no eye apertures or a mask that enables you to lift the blinds, these tight fitting masks can also be used to restrict access to the mouth and effectively gag your partner.
Hoods and masks come in a variety of materials including spandex, leather, rubber, latex and various fabrics. The right one for you depends on your preferences and which you find most comfortable, both to the touch and aesthetically. Some are quite elaborate, coming with accessories like built-in inflatable ball gags, or designs like bunny ears or pig noses to add a dimension of cosplay or humiliation to the mix.
Another kinky option is gas-mask style headgear like you’ll see in some of the dating profiles of kinksters at BDSMDate.com. From authentic, military-grade masks to ones that merely mimic the look of World War II gear, gas masks restrict breathing while adding a foreboding visual element to your bondage play. Some of these masks cover the ears as well, muffling sounds and further depriving the senses of the slave, giving the master yet more control over their subject.
Whether you simply like the way they look, or you have some specific application in mind that will enhance your sex life, using masks, gags and muzzles are a great way to spice up your kinky sex life. Starting at around $15 for simple models and running up to a few hundred bucks for items like complex leather sensory deprivation hoods, masks and hoods also offer a lot of steampunk excitement without a lot of investment.
