The History of Gag Bondage

For those who aren’t familiar with it, gag bondage is when one person (or both) uses an object to obstruct another's ability to speak freely. It typically involves tying something over someone's mouth and can be practiced for a variety of reasons—or simply just for fun. Some people like gags because they heighten all other senses, including hearing; others use them as part of their fetish or fantasy play. For centuries, people have been using physical means to prevent themselves or others from speaking. From chastity belts to locks that locked over mouths, humans have long found ways to silence each other (as well as themselves!). The practice of gagging someone probably originated with early civilizations in Asia and Northern Africa.

What Do People Enjoy About Gag Bondage?

Part of what draws people to gag bondage is their enjoyment of power dynamics. A dominant partner may use blindfolds and ball gags to create a sense of submission for their lover, who must submit completely to whatever act they perform. Although it's possible for two lovers to share power during play, it's also possible for one partner (or dominant partner) to take on both roles without input from their lover. With our leather strap bondage, enthusiasts can explore these desires more freely as they are tied up and teased with just one piece of equipment. Sounds like fun!

Types of Gags

When it comes to choosing your gag, it's important to know there are three main types: ball gags, bit gags and inflatable/vented gags.

Ball gags are like pacifiers for adults; they're round balls that will fit into your mouth and keep you from being able to speak while blocking your jaw. You can choose how big of a ball you want—the bigger it is, usually, the more intense of an experience it will be.

Bit gags are very similar but take things one step further by attaching them directly to an O-ring on a lead or collar, giving you control over where and how your partner moves his head.

The third type is inflatable or vented gags.

Safety Considerations When Wearing Gag

When playing with bondage gear, safety is your number one concern. Being gagged can make it more difficult to convey when something is amiss. As such, it’s important to consider any health conditions that might put you at risk when being tied up or wearing a gag. People who have heart conditions may be susceptible to feeling lightheaded or dizzy during high levels of physical exertion; as such, be mindful of these feelings while wearing gag-type equipment and know how to stop play if you begin to feel them.
