Gags?

[jugner]

I won't use one, my nose was broken a couple of times when I was younger,
and now I can't breathe well through my nose, so it would be a death sentence for me, I think most here don't like them, but I'll ask anyhow.

This is one of those topics that comes up again and again. If you search for "gags" in the thread title, you can find a lot of opinions.

There are many kinds of gags that do not prevent mouth breathing. And for other people who can breathe fine through their nose, partial breath restriction of a gag might be exactly what they're looking for.

To each his own, I guess. When I have a tickle slave, I'm going to gag them more often as not. 😉

I have to have a gag. I'm just too loud. Redmage and Jaba can tell you.

You could always try something like a ring-gag. It allows for breathing.

Haven't tried a gag yet, but it's on the to-do list.

A gag? Hell no!

damn, I knew I forgot something last June

For me, using a gag on someone I'm tickling would be a bit self-defeating! Hearing the delightfully helpless giggles, laughter and squeals is a major part of the fun, so I would never want to muffle it.

As several have already mentioned, there are styles of gags which allow your mouth to remain open so you can still breathe normally.

As for whether people like them or not, well, everyone's different. Personally, I'd say it depends on who you're playing with and how intense you both want things to get.

Mistress Zara likes to gag me at the beginning of a tickling session, but at some point say, "I want to hear you laughing," and pull it out.

My favorite thing to be gagged with is one of her sweaty socks, turned inside-out so that the part that was pressing against her sole is now pressed against my tongue. (Telling this to people at the Passive Arts gathering in June cause exclamations of disgust by some. I never argue with taste, if you don't like the idea, don't do it.)

No way.. Giving or recieving..

Personally I USUALLY like to her my vicitim laugh, giggle, scream, beg etc. However my g/f requested me one day to gag her. So we went to a "store" and looked at the different gags. We saw the traditional ball gag but she thought it might be a bit uncomfortable so we bought this soft plastic one and it works just fine! She doesn't have a problem breathing at all and we had a lot of fun with it! If you are an open minded person and want to try something different I would reccomend it.

Well, I'm SO loud I HAVE to have a gag. No question about it. Part of my session with Jaba for MLOL I was actually gagged with a small stuffed animal.

I'm rather fond of a ball gag I picked out with Redmage - he owns it but I pointed it out to him because the ones with strings hurt my mouth. This one has leather straps that are a little wider then the string so they're a LOT more comfortable.

I don't care for being gagged with my own undies. In fact I don't like cloth gags of any kind at all. I drool and they start to taste funny.

Gags, like blindfolds, I actually find rather thrilling. It adds to my helpless feeling and I LOVE to feel helpless while being tickled senseless. Mentally, it makes me even more ticklish.

I want to hear every decibel of your precious bursts of incoherent screams, laughter and giggles... no gag will come between my ears and your sensual sonatas of beautiful hysteria, emitting from your sweet grinning lips!

 

[Helena]

Oh my gosh! A gag? I've never tried it...............

 

[TicklishLurker]

We'll see how you feel about that when the maids are coming by and can hear my pleas for mercy.

 

[Feathery]

The maids will become sexually intoxicated with your sensuous laughter and erotic body gyratiations and desire to tickle and tease your sweet helpless body even more...

What's that?

 

[ShadowTklr]

What's that?

The ring gag fits vertically inside the mouth, just behind the teeth, and is held in place with a leather strap. The mouth is formed into a perfect "O" opening where the tongue can wag and there is no obstruction to breathing, but the mouth cannot close to form words - nothing but a whole lot of "AHH AHH" stuff.

I like gags for more darker tickling sessions. Although i don't use them for long term sessions, just for a little while when I want my lee to feel particularly cut off from my mercies. Blindfolds are also great to use in association with gags in order to "cut off" her ability to communicate with both eyes and mouth. Hence, she is left in darkness and without the ability to verbally communicate. All she can do is listen to my taunting as the tickling drives her desire to talk over the edge.

Just the other week I had the opportunity to be gagged during a tickle session. I wasn't sure if I would like it or what effect, if any, it would have on the whole scene. I'm happy to say that it added to my sense of vulnerability and I rather enjoyed it. I wouldn't use one every time. But once in a while it's a good thing.

I really didn't think I'd like it, and avoided going there for a long time. But I do have to say that once I tried it, I enjoyed it. It was freeing not to have to think about what I might say, and interesting to discover how to plead without using words. I think I used my eyes, voice, and body a lot more, which created a different sort of feeling.

I did discover that I only liked the gag under certain conditions. I didn't enjoy it when I was tied facedown, mostly because I didn't like being so cut off from being able to communicate with my 'ler (I guess I'm just not enough into that dark sort of helplessness 😛 ). It was also harder to breathe (which might have more to do with my sinuses and the particular gag used), and rather drooly.

Tied faceup though, it was quite fun. And you could hear me laugh just fine, thank you very much! 😀

There are some who find it fun to take the socks off the lee's feet and use them as a gag. I've heard that it teaches the lee to always keep her feet, and socks, clean and fresh of scent. That's what I've been told anyway, I wouldn't actually know.

Seems like I have to say this every time the subject comes up...

Gags prevent speech. They do not prevent laughter. Several of the available styles don't even muffle it.

As for breathing, there are a number of options. A ring gag has been mentioned. There are also the japanese-style "whiffle" ball-gag, a slim bit-gag, and several others.

Seriously, the only reasons not to use a gag are psychological (the 'lee simply can't stand having something in his or her mouth, or can't bear being unable to speak) or aesthetic - one partner or another simply doesn't like the way they look. Any other potential problem - breathing, noise level, potential jaw problems - can be addressed just by choosing the right gag.

Yes indeed. One of the most interesting things about gags is that as a 'lee becomes less verbal, s/he tends to become more vocal (and generally expressive).

I'D love to gag a woman but if I was tickling her I probley go for a blindfold.

 

[glassofmilk]

I've never gotten to actually use a gag, but I like seeing them in tickling vids 🙂

 

[JD133]

I like them. The add to the feeling of control. But they are just like any other form of restraint, it has to be enjoyable for both the 'ler and the 'lee. So I could live without it, but would much rather have one.

Besides, if anything it gives the 'lee the freedom to yell and scream as much as the wish without the fear of someone hearing. Even if only in their minds. But that is just imo anyways.
