A gag is not just something that you use on your other half to keep them quiet while you watch the Voice or your favorite sports. It is also something that is used quite extensively in BDSM. Many people get off on seeing their partner restrained and gagged, while many submissive partners enjoy being gagged in all manner of different ways.
Gags come in all sorts of different forms from a soft silk tie tied around the head and across the mouth through to all sorts of devilish looking leather, rubber and silicone contraptions that can block your airway or even leave your mouth held open wide to be used as your partner wishes.
One reason for using a gag is to restrict breathing from the mouth so that you are forced to only breathe through your nose. During heavy sex and play you may find that you are just not drawing in enough air. This will often lead to a far more intense orgasm no matter what sex you are.
As with any other sort of dominance play many practicing will want to use a safe word to ensure that things stop when it becomes too much. Of course if you are gagged and bound that can be a little difficult. Few gags however can fully silence you, so most couples agree on three quick grunts or something similar as a safe word when playing.
Always use gags safely. They do restrict breathing and most will cause you to salivate uncontrollably which in some positions can trigger your gag reflex, as can the actual gag itself, which could cause vomiting. So never leave someone alone gagged.
Like any other toy of course you need to keep them clean, having a gag held in your mouth for a prolonged length of time is going to leave your gag covered in all sorts of things. It is always advisable to clean your toys fully before and after you get down to play to keep things hygienic and safe.
