Fact Sheet- Sensory Deprivation
From birth, most people have been overloaded with sights and sounds, heat and
cold, and other sensory inputs that can overwhelm and cause imbalances in
thought, feelings and actions. The elimination of senses, even one, can be
a relief and quite a turn-on.
Bondage uses sensory deprivation to some extent. Blindfolds, ballgags, and
earmuffs are all things that are used. If you are lucky enough to know someone
with a real S.D. tank, beg and plead to use it once. It is an experience that
you will never forget. Some people cannot take much, but it can be a real heightening
experience.
When things like blindfolds are used, caution should be taken to make sure
extra pressure is not being applied to the eyeballs. This can damage the retina
and fluid in the eye. We are here to play, not cause serious harm to one another.
Make sure that you know what it feels like before you play so that, even though
surprises are fun, the feelings you get do not overwhelm you and stop the play
time abruptly.
