Head bondage

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Head bondage is a form of BDSM practice that involves the application of restraints to the head, often involving the hair. It is a subset of bondage, which is a key element in the broader field of BDSM.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Head bondage, in BDSM play, includes all techniques used to apply control to the head of the subject. It may involve a variety of techniques and equipment, including but not limited to gags, blindfolds, hoods, and head harnesses. The main aim of head bondage is to restrict the subject's movement, sensory perception or to exert control over them for erotic pleasure.

Techniques[edit | edit source]

Hair Bondage[edit | edit source]

Hair bondage is a common form of head bondage which involves the use of the subject's hair to restrict their movement. This can be achieved by tying the hair to a fixed object or to other parts of the body.

Gags[edit | edit source]

Gags are devices used in head bondage to prevent the subject from speaking or making loud noises. They can also be used to force the mouth open for various forms of play.

Blindfolds[edit | edit source]

Blindfolds are used in head bondage to deprive the subject of sight, which can heighten their other senses and increase their feelings of vulnerability.

Hoods[edit | edit source]

Hoods are used in head bondage to cover the entire head, often depriving the subject of multiple senses, such as sight and hearing. They can also create a sense of objectification, depersonalization, or erotic humiliation.

Head Harnesses[edit | edit source]

Head harnesses are a type of head bondage equipment that is similar to a harness used on animals. They are usually made of leather and can be used to control the head, to attach other devices or ropes, or simply for their aesthetic effect.

Safety[edit | edit source]

As with all forms of bondage, safety is paramount. The risk of injury in head bondage can be significant, particularly if the subject struggles or if the bondage is applied too tightly. It is important to use safe words and to monitor the subject's well-being throughout the session.
