Blindfolds & Masks – When the gaze is missing, the body speaks
Vision plays a major role in pleasure—but what happens when we consciously turn it off? Blindfolds and eye masks are simple tools that enable completely new experiences during sex or dominance play.
They take the focus off the game—and allow touch, sounds, smells, and tension to have a stronger impact. For many, this is the gateway to more sensual, conscious pleasure.
What happens if we don't see anything?
The brain is a professional at redistributing: if one sense is blocked, the others become sharper.
Those who cannot see feel touch more intensely , hear every breath more precisely – and experience control, surprise or surrender on a new level.
There's also a psychological effect: If you can't see, you can't prepare for what's next . Desire becomes a game of anticipation, tension, and release.
What types of eye coverings are there?
- Soft fabric blindfolds (e.g. satin, microfiber): Ideal for beginners – light, comfortable, attractive.
- Compression-molded sleep masks : Darken particularly well and do not press on the eyelids.
- Fetish masks with cut-outs : For special role plays or aesthetic stimuli.
- Leather masks or wetlook blindfolds : For a more intense, tighter fit and the classic BDSM vibe.
Who are they suitable for?
- For all those who want to shift their focus away from the outside and towards feeling.
- For couples who playfully explore control or submission (e.g. with fixed body posture).
- For curious beginners who want to experience pleasure in a slower, more exciting way.
Safety & Tips
- Communication in advance : Who wears the mask? Who leads? Are there taboos?
- Agree on a safe word or safe sound – especially important if vision is missing.
- Increase slowly : From light stimuli (feather, breath, words) to toys or bondage.
- Never leave unattended – especially when restrained + blindfolded.
- Pay attention to care and hygiene – especially with leather or coated materials.
