Sensory Play
Once you're all tied up, then what are you going to do? We think that this is the perfect time to play with heightened sensation since the dampening of any one sense will enhance another (and enhancement is what we're all about here)!
When you engage in playing with extra sensation, you're experimenting with oft times counterintuitive yet exciting sensual nuances. Just as in your everyday sex play things will be different each time - sometimes it's a go and other times not so much - when you add unfamiliar sounds, temperatures, areas of stimulation or types of stimulation you get something entirely different each time you play. That's "Sensational"!
One of the ways to experiment with this technique is to take away one of the senses so that the others take over. Take sight or vocalization, as two examples. If you are blindfolded, not only can you not see what is going to happen next, leaving you with tingly excitement wondering what's up, but all your senses are heightened as they take over for your eyes. You can smell your partner near you. You can hear your breathing and heartbeat, and every little touch sends shivers up your body. You can't see your partner or yourself which often alleviates self-consciousness. All good things! In the same way that being blindfolded alleviates self-consciousness so that you feel free to thrash about and move your body in ways you wouldn't if you were being "seen", wearing a gag is a license to howl your fool head off. It's as if covering your mouth means you can howl like you've never allowed yoursefl to howl before.
