Ball gags provide an exciting way to experiment with power and control, identity, and how they impact your sexual experiences, whether you’re new to kink or an experienced player.
We have all the details you need to feel confident and excited about giving one a try, including different types and expert guidance on how to use them deftly and safely. And here’s a little secret: They are nowhere near as fearsome as they might initially appear.
So what is a ball gag, anyway?
Indeed, a ball gag is nothing more than a spherical accessory -- it's made of materials like rubber, silicone and plastic, and inserted into your partner's mouth and buckled behind their head with straps. What is its primary function? To avoid talking as much as they can during BDSM or bondage play in order to make the submissive side appear more important.
Although there are many other types of gags, ball gags are among the most popular. Breathable gags – gags with perforations which allow air to pass into the wearer's mouth are quite comfortable, but care must be taken when using one (e.g. BBW gag Harnesses, a strap on with a gag ), as it suffers from the same effect as the ring gag. With designs like that there is something for everyone.
What Do Individuals Like About Ball Gags?
Believe me, you're not the only one who has wondered what kind of person volunteers to give up their power to speak during sex. But the appeal of ball gags is in the delicate power play and trust that they foster between partners.
For the submissive, wearing a gag can be an exciting experience, feeling that they have completely "given up power" and able to feel the erotic sensations of the play without feeling that sexy need to force language. And the dominant partner, meanwhile, gets both a thrill and a sense of empowerment from exercising that authority.
And, of course, gags are not all about a fetishistic visual (though they do look very good indeed). They also make other senses more urgent. The loss of speech can also increase one’s sensitivity to touch and sound, at times smell, embroidering an intensity that gives the colour of life to each instant with profound vibrancy.
Different Types of Ball Gags
Well, apparently ball gags are not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. Here is a brief summary of the most common styles, so you can choose the one that best suits your, and your partner's, desires:
Breathable Ball Gags: These have small holes inside the ball that allow the wearer to breath much easier, as such they are best suited for beginners to ball gags.
Solid Ball Gags: This is a basic toy that fills up the mouth completely and makes it silent and obedient.
Bit gags: Styled after the horse bit, bit gags are soft than regular ball gags, they are a good choice for those who do not like regular ball gag.
Open Mouth Gags: Open mouth gags enable the wearer to keep their mouths open and available while also not having it as full as other types making them ideal for those wanting to explore more than your standard gag.
Harness Gags: These feature extra straps or attachments to add to the overall look and feel.
How to Safely Use a Ball Gag?
As you would with any other BDSM toy, safety is key when playing with a ball gag. So to help make your time worthwhile and safe, here are some tips from seasoned veterans:
Get Consent: Before you use a gag in your play, you need to have a conversation with your partner about it and receive an enthusiastic “yes!” You cannot renegotiate consent.
Take It Slow: If you're new to gags, only keep it on for 10 to 15 minutes. As you both get used to the experience, ramp up the time gradually.
Set up safe signals: signals can be created using hand gestures or simply holding a squeaky toy, so your gagged partner can let you know when they want a break, or want to stop playing.
Be cautious: Do not ever leave gagged partner alone. Keep watching their breathing and how comfortable they are overall.
Avoid Gags For Certain Health Conditions: If the person wearing the gag has a cold, a sinus infection or anything that could make it difficult to breathe through the nose, the gag should not be used.
And remember that enjoying it for the fun is all there is! Before, during, and after play is communication.
