For many people, hoods are a powerful tool to use in your BDSM play scenes β but did you know that they can be just as effective when youβre playing without bondage? Itβs true! Hoods allow you to completely surrender and let go of control, allowing you to put yourself in the mindset of submissiveness and arousal. But that doesnβt mean that there arenβt risks involved with wearing hoods while participating in BDSM sex play β so weβre going to discuss how to wear a hood safely and responsibly.
About Hood Fetish
Iβm sure you are all familiar with hoods. They are used as blindfolds or to create a feeling of being caged, trapped or restrained for sexual pleasure. But did you know that they can also be used in bondage play? Itβs true. A hood is an item of clothing worn over the head to cover it. Hoods can conceal your identity by covering your face completely or just hiding your eyes with an opaque material.
History of Hoods
The hood has long been used as an instrument of power in BDSM play. In some cases, it is just used as a tool to keep light out of your submissiveβs eyes. When they canβt see what you are doing to them or what is being done to them by others, their fear response is activatedβthe anticipation of pleasure or pain is more intense than actually experiencing it. For example: take off your partnerβs blindfold before attaching clamps to their nipples; or bind their hands behind their back with rope before whipping them with soft strands of silk (or something else). Being able to look into your partnerβs eyes adds intimacy and connection during play; binding their sight makes things impersonal βwhich some consider hot.
Types of Hoods
If youβre going to wear a hood as part of your sexual playtime activities, be aware that suffocation is very real. Follow these safety precautions to ensure youβre getting off on pleasure instead of pain: Take it slow: Get into bondage slowlyβespecially if your partner is new to it. A lot of people love feeling dominated in bed, but that doesnβt mean they want to relinquish all control right away. Start with partial bondage (hands bound) then work your way up from there until your partner feels comfortable with being completely submissive.
How To Wear a Hood
Using bondage is all about taking control in a safe way. There are some considerations to take into account when it comes to wearing your hood. Safety precautions should be taken when using any type of restraint because you're putting pressure on sensitive parts of your body. If you're going to wear a hood, make sure it's not too tight or too loose around your neck. It's easy for blood vessels in your head to become constricted if something is too tight or there's not enough room for your airway if it's too loose. Too much pressure on those blood vessels could lead to fainting or worse: passing out from oxygen deprivation! Never let anyone put anything over your head without making sure it won't restrict your airways or cause breathing problems.
Safety Precautions When Wearing a Hood
A hood is an essential bondage accessory that should only be used under supervision. While some may find a hood to be an empowering instrument of sexual pleasure, there are potential dangers involved with wearing one. It's important to follow safety precautions when using or purchasing any type of hood. Before use, check all eye and mouth holes for tears or imperfections that could compromise breathing ability during wear. For optimal safety, make sure your partner can easily reach and remove your hood should you need help at any time during playβeven if it's just to take it off so you can breathe easier.
Benefits Of Wearing a Hood
While hoods might look uncomfortable to some people, theyβre actually quite useful. Their purpose is to obstruct your vision so that you canβt see what your partner(s) are doing with you. It gives them complete control over your body; you have no idea where theyβre touching or how much force theyβre using. A hood is basically like having your hands tied behind your back. The sensations caused by light teasing or more intense pain become an unknown quantity. You donβt know if or when it will end, making each second of stimulation infinitely more intense than if you were watching everything unfold in front of you instead of through layers of fabric.
