If you've ever looked at a ball gag and wondered what it's for - you're not alone. Ball gags are hugely popular within the BDSM scene but if you're outside of that world you might not know much about them.
Ball gags are loved by many for many reasons. Some folks love the feeling of being gagged, others find it helps them get into their preferred role as a submissive.
Ball gags combined with restraints and sensory deprivation like a blindfold or mask can heighten sexual pleasure by making the wearer feel helpless which could be their turn-on.
Feeling humiliated or like they're being punished or the feeling of being out of control (even though there's still control in a safe and healthy BDSM partnership and should be) can also be sexually exciting for the user.
What types of gags are there?
Closed ball gags These are usually a ball with holes inside for air access. Ball gags are our most popular gags. You can get training systems if you think you need to work your way up.

How do I safely use a ball gag?
Discuss what you are comfortable with first - talk to your partner about what your turn-ons are, and what their turn-ons are too. Ensure everything you're doing is something you've discussed. Consent is vital. When you're wearing a gag it's obviously hard to speak so you need to work out a safe sound rather than a safe word. Put the gag on first and then make the noise so your partner can recognise it - do this before you begin any BDSM play. Or if you'd rather not make a noise you could use a tapping system - like tapping three times - or touching, picking up, or dropping an object.
Gagging can be dangerous due to the risk of asphyxia if your nose and mouth are blocked. Don't gag someone who is intoxicated, unwell or has allergies as most gags make it difficult to breathe. Vomiting and choking also pose a risk, never leave someone you have gagged alone.
Finally, have fun!
