Sensory Deprivation BDSM

Sensory Deprivation BDSM: BDSM of the senses

What is sensory deprivation BDSM?

Sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch are the senses available to most people. In BDSM you like to play with them, remove, manipulate or stun them with the help of various equipment . Sensory deprivation is the technical term, loosely translated meaning deprivation. Deprivation comes from the Latin “deprivare”, which means something like “to rob”. There is also often talk of “sensation play”, i.e. playing with the senses.

Through a variety of means, one or more of a bottom ‘s senses are restricted by a dom , which in turn sharpens the other senses or renders the person playing below completely helpless. Either way, an intense experience for the passive person.

Sensory deprivation BDSM can be both a game and a reward. For example, putting a fetishist in a latex vacuum bed can be a form of reward. Sensory deprivation BDSM can become a punishment when you deprive someone of a source of pleasure or isolate the person. However, great caution is required here.

What is special about sensory deprivation BDSM?

Everyone has experienced and played with certain forms of sensory deprivation BDSM. This makes this type of game “beginner-friendly” at first. A blindfold , for example, can certainly also be found in a vanilla household. The increase, combination and also the mind play, i.e. the game with the thoughts that goes with it, is the appealing thing. So something that is initially perceived as harmless can quickly become an intense and also erotic experience.

Sensory deprivation suppresses and manipulates some of the senses, which automatically sharpens the others, setting off a chain reaction in the bottom’s mind. Impairing vision improves hearing as sensitivity to noise increases. If one takes hearing, the air is sucked in through the nose in the hope of recognizing familiar smells like the hemp of a rope . Senses and perceptions that are otherwise only experienced in passing come to the fore.

What do you need for sensory deprivation BDSM?

Each of the five senses can be manipulated or even deprived in their own way. The most popular means of doing this are: blindfolds, breathing or gas masks, earplugs, gags and restraints . However, the possibilities are endless and can be adapted to the participants and their needs.

Simple examples are a perfume that is always worn to the session or scented candles to manipulate the sense of smell. Applying peppermint oil under the nose or a mask without nostrils would be more extreme. There are “blind” contact lenses and also in-ear headphones that can be played with brown or white noise . The taste can be manipulated to a certain extent via the nose, but gags, certain foods or soaked pieces of cloth can also cloud this sense. For the physical limitation there are monogloves , bondageand a thousand other ways to immobilize someone and prevent them from feeling. Everything can be expanded at will and any form of extremes is possible.

Extreme sensory deprivation is not that uncommon in the BDSM scene . Latex vacuum beds or vacuum cubes enclose the whole body, sometimes also the head. Likewise, mummification in plastic foil, with bandages or rope is a separate fetish , which is often combined with gas masks. These limit the senses even more. There are numbing creams that “lame” areas of skin and body parts and make them numb – a form of tunnel play . Here, too, there are almost no limits to the imagination.

Is sensory deprivation BDSM dangerous?

Sensory deprivation is also widely used in consciousness research. So there are whole tanks in which all senses are suppressed. Short-term sensory deprivation is also popular in esotericism and meditation to increase self-awareness and concentration. However, hallucinations, panic and changes in consciousness can occur with prolonged and intensive use.

The UN Human Rights Charter and the European Convention on Human Rights consider long-term and extreme sensory deprivation to be torture. In detention centers like Guantanamo, total sensory deprivation combined with sleep deprivation is used as so-called “white torture” because no visible traces of torture remain.

Conclusion

However, sensory deprivation BDSM always takes place within an agreed, agreed framework . Still, it’s important to be aware of these things. While many sensory deprivation remedies initially sound quite harmless, they become more and more intense over time and with increasing exposure to the outside world. Due to the lack of influences, one can on the one hand listen to oneself better and experience experiences, but at the same time the possibilities for compensation for discomfort and negative feelings are reduced. This can quickly lead to emotional irritation and panic or anxiety. So be extremely attentive and sensitive.
