A Ball Gag is probably one of the most used bondage toys. The Ball Gag or sometimes referred to as Throat Gags is not used to silence a person from speaking. In the true submissive sense, it is used to mute sounds. There is a fetish value to the gag that goes along with Bondage and Discipline. This also includes the humiliation factor. They are also a tool for teaching oral sex and many times Ball Gags or Throat Gags are used to deal with pain by being able to bite down on the ball.
It is always a smart thing to spend time discussing the use of any type of Ball Gag or Throat Gag with your partner. When doing these types of activities, it is always important for both to agree and keep safety in mind. Never leave a person alone while performing these acts. If the person with the gag has trouble breathing or their face becomes red or flush, remove the gag immediately. You should always have a pre determined non verbal stop signal between each other if you want the gag removed.
There are many different types of materials used for a gag including wood, rubber, latex, plastic and leather. There are also inflatable ball gags. Pick the gag that both you and your partner agree is right for both of you. Always clean your sex toys with a good adult toy cleaner when finished and store in a safe clean place.
