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.

    Quick disclaimer: This is simply my take on things. Your’s may be different and that’s ok—that’s the beauty of kink!

    A BDSM slave is someone who has consensually agreed to being owned by someone else, often a “Master”.

    As long as consent exists, the other person retains all-rights-of-ownership of the slave.

    This transfer of ownership is called a “total power exchange” (TPE).

    It means consensually handing over your ability to make decisions for yourself, and granting someone the right to do it for you.

    Power exchanges are very popular in BDSM dynamics. But, not all power exchanges are total power exchanges.

    Whenever someone gives themselves to a Dom/Master, they’re participating in a power exchange because they’re literally giving power to someone else.

    Based on this, a BDSM slave is a very specific type of submissive.

    However, most submission ceremonies do not involve the sub giving themselves completely to the Dom—they give a part of themselves.

    Submission is a sliding scale, with one end being a “regular” submissive, and the other being a slave without a single right. Most subs/slaves fall somewhere in the middle.

    So, not all submissives are slaves, but all slaves are —normally—considered submissives. (There are exceptions, but they’re few-and-far-between).

    For example, a sub may give up:

    The ability to choose what they wear
    Being able to leave the house, without saying why
    Freedom for general structure, like rules and chores
    While subs do trade some things in submission, they retain many of their rights as autonomous human beings.

    A slave on the other hand may give up:

    Social media privacy
    The ability to say “no”
    A choice in what they eat, where they eat it, and when they eat it
    The list could go on-and-on, but it all falls under one category: Eliminating choice from a slave’s life.

    In theory, removing all rights from another individual is easy. In practice, though, it’s a whole different ballgame.

    A TPE can encompass removing all rights. However, most times slaves retain some rights.

    That’s because a slave is still a human in our modern world, and must function in it confidently. Financials are one of the biggest caveats here.

    Some people will never give up control of their *** because it drastically blurs the lines. Of course, there are slaves who do give up their financial rights, but many do not.

    No matter what, it all comes down to the specific dynamic and how both parties want it to run.

    Exceptions exist everywhere, and kink is no different. That’s why a definition is meant to be a starting point, not a strict boundary.

    Every Master/slave dynamic looks different. Some slaves may only be submissive within a sexual context, while others are submissive in every aspect of the dynamic.

    It’s important to understand that “slave” simply refers to the type of relationship: Master/slave. It does not necessarily insinuate a sexual-type-dynamic—although that is often the case.

    Before anything else, there are extensive, thorough discussions about expectations, wants, and needs.

    Expectations are straightforward. But there’s a massive difference between wants and needs.

    Needs will always be taken care of by the Master—no exceptions. They’ve committed to making healthy decisions, and must do the basic requirements.

    Wants, on the other hand, are just extras. A master may allow a slave’s wants to come to fruition….or they may not. That’s because it’s not a basic requirement for human function: It’s a bonus.

    After all sides have expressed themselves and time has passed, a contract is crafted.

    A BDSM contract is a signed document, outlining the expectations, rules, and terms-of-play. And, they’re revisited on an agreed-upon-basis, like every 3-to-6-months.

    While a BDSM contract isn’t a legally binding document, it does act as a formal agreement between Master and slave.

    So, if/when someone wishes to terminate the contract (Master OR slave), it can be done so immediately, without legal ramifications.

    TLDR;

    Ultimately, a BDSM slave is a more extreme submissive, with far fewer rights and choices, than a typical sub.

    Similar to Ball Gag

    There are so many kinds of gags, ball, Jennings, soft, hard…there’s a gag for everyone. Designed to keep the bottom, submissive or slave relatively quiet, gags are a popular item for BDSM play. A gag stops the person wearing them from being able to communicate freely, this adds to the feeling of helplessness for the submissive partner and is another way for a Dominant to show their control. It’s very important to make sure the person wearing a gag is able to breathe and is comfortable in the gag, you want to stop their words, not their breath! With careful use, you can enjoy the sexy sound of silence, well, smothered screams and cries if not complete silence!
    Penis gags are ideal for anyone who wants the use of their mouth (including the power of speech) entirely removed in one quick, easy action, particularly if they find that they're able to push ball gags out using their tongue. These gags are broadly similar to ball gags, but instead of having a ball-shaped mouth part the insertable portion of the gag is elongated, in a shape a little like a penis. This makes them easier to strap in tightly, harder to push out and far more overwhelmingly debilitating than other models of gag can be. There are also some fun psychological implications of a gag shaped like a penis! "What is a penis gag? Unlike other gags, the part that goes into the wearer’s mouth is fashioned to look like a penis. It fastens in the same way as other gags and is used in the same way but fills the mouth more than a ring or a ball gag for example.
    Gags come in many shapes and sizes. Funnel gags are not amongst the most common types, but they're invaluable to people who are into a few specific kinks. The most obvious of these is water sports, as a funnel gag makes some parts of that kink easier to practice! Those involved in feedism and fat fetishism also sometimes enjoy using them as part of the weight gain aspects of their kink. If you'd like to experiment with funnel gags, make sure to buy quality and experiment first--you could choke a sub if you make a mistake, so do your research and practice with care.
