the TGIF Sex Blog [Blindfolds]

¡Hola! Everybody...
When did we become such a judgmental society? Have we all become so insecure that judgment is our default response to tragedy or misfortune?

It’s Friday, and it’s always about S-E-X...

In order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice.

-- Marquis de Sade

Blindfolding, or otherwise impairing the vision of a partner accomplishes several sexual goals. for one, an individual who temporarily loses their vision develops an immediate and increased awareness of their other senses -- such as touch. Additionally, the blindfolded person can experience a sense that their mind is detached from their body. Blindfolding can also serve as a release from sexual inhibitions and can have a depersonalizing effect on both partners.

Normally, blindfolding is used to reduce the power of the “bottom” (the submissive) and give it to the “top” (the dominant). The opposite is also true. An example being that of a dominant husband who wants to temporarily submit to his normally timid wife.

Blindfolding makes it possible for a top to act out the role of anonymous serial lovers in sex role-play without having to change clothing or appearance. It is also used in group sex for the reverse effect.

The blindfold most often used for its comfort is the adjustable leather blindfold lined with fur or silk padding. In my experience, blindfolding serves to help with trust issues. It is both scary and exciting for an individual who doesn’t trust easily to be blindfolded. In a visual-dominant society such as ours, ceding vision is a huge act of trust. I have helped many a woman work through trust issues using the blindfold. This “therapeutic” effect is enhanced with the use of ropes and a good working knowledge of knots. LOL!)

As with everything, caution should be practiced. Wearing contact lenses while blindfolded may cause damage to the eyes. In addition, there is often a slight disorientation that occurs after any extended period of blindness and care should be taken when removing the blindfold. If the person is under any other restraint, the blindfold should be removed first.

So, there you have it, another way to add some adventure to your boring, long-assed marriage sex life. Kidding! LOL

Love,

Eddie
