Ball gags are sex aids commonly used by the BDSM (bondage-domination, sado-masochism) community. However, in these more open and accepting times, we see ball gags cross over into the bedrooms of average homes. More people are finding out the joys and adventures possible with ball gags and sexual power play.

Ball gags are used over the mouth to restrain someone verbally. These ball gags can be made of either silicone or rubber. These are spherical in shape and are held together by a strap that's usually made of leather. Typical size of ball gags is at 1 ¾ in diameter. Of course, there are other size variations when it comes to ball gags. You can find one that's suitable for your use.

While silence is the main effect of ball gags, people opt to wear them for the thrill of powerlessness and humiliation. It can be exciting for some people to experience the inability to talk. When they try to with their ball gags on, they only end up drooling all over themselves. This feeling of being powerless that comes with ball gags is usually rooted in "person in distress" fantasies, wherein the captive person cannot do anything to help one's self. This can be such a turn on, even when there's no nudity involved.

Of course, there are dangers of asphyxia and choking with ball gags. The alternative to this is the wiffle gags, or breathable ball gags. This is the "tamer" version of ball gags since the inability to breathe through the mouth is lessened or totally removed.

Using ball gags

When using ball gags, it is very important to be aware of the risks involved. Ball gags restrict breathing through the mouth. A person can then suffer from asphyxia if the nose is further blocked purposely or through conditions such as flu, allergies, and colds. Gagging with ball gags may also cause vomiting and choking. This causes further blockage to proper breathing.

It is therefore of utmost relevance to have a safe word or safe signal when things get too much. In BDSM, the common practice is to have a safe word. Since speaking is limited by ball gags, you can opt for an alternative signal. The point is to be able to signal to your partner that you've had enough or are experiencing some physical problems with the restraints. This way, you can be released from bondage before any harm happens.
