All you need to know about ball gags
Gagging a partner (or being the partner who is gagged) can be an erotic experience for many people - and ball gags are the most common type. They're an affordable and accessible way to experiment with gagging, and the aesthetics are iconic enough to add a little extra something to proceedings - especially when combined with bondage and fetish wear. Some people do find, however, that they're a little too easy to push out of their mouths; if you want an entirely incapacitating gag, penis or bite models can be more effective. As with all things, a little experimentation can go a long way!
What is a ball gag?
A ball gag is exactly as it sounds. A gag which can be fastened round a sub’s head that has a ball to fit in their mouth, muffling their sounds and guaranteed to make them drool.
How do you use a ball gag safely?
Never leave a submissive alone when they’re wearing a gag and always arrange an equivalent to a safe word so they can communicate to you if they’re in distress. This could be a specific series of grunts or dropping a ball or other item from their hand. Keep safety shears to hand in case you can’t get the straps unfastened quickly enough. Never use a gag if you have a cough or cold or suffering from anything that will make it hard for you to breathe.
What are the advantages of using a ball gag over other types?
If you want to make your submissive drool, a ball gag is nigh on guaranteed to make that happen. They are also available in different sizes so you can dictate how wide the person has their mouth held open.
What type of ball gag is best for a beginner?
Start with a small diameter which only stretches the wearer’s mouth a little bit so it will be comfortable to wear for a while during play. You could also get a ball gag that has extra holes in it, this makes it easier for the sub to breathe through their mouth if they feel they need to.
