The Best Bondage Blindfolds and How to Use Them

bondage blindfold

It is widely known that if you deprive one sense, the remaining others re-adapt to help the brain get more information in the new situation.

With a bondage blindfold tightly secured over your girlfriends’ eyes, you will heighten her other senses:

  • She will have no idea what you are up to and the hear and touch sense will re-wire to become more effective.
  • You will be able to tease her, surprise her and give her an amazingly unique experience.
  • Thanks to the bondage blindfold, every touch and every whisper you deliver will be more intense and tantalizing.

In this post, I will dive deep into the world of bondage blindfolds and give you my personal recommendations.

After this, you will get plenty of tips on using them. Let’s start.

Why you should use bondage blindfolds

Blindfolds are a great addition to whatever bondage play you are eager to try.

Being blindfolded will give the submissive partner a sense of isolation and helplessness that can be really hot.

Together the two of you can explore sensory play and impact play, one being the master, the other one being the obedient vulnerable slave.

Using a blindfold is popular in kink communities, but it also works as a great addition to whatever vanilla sex you are into. You don’t need to go into full bondage territory when you use a blindfold, blindfolds can be equally sensual and romantic as they can be a tool for dominating your partner.

On top of the above, blindfolds are also a great tool to reduce performance pressure and inhibitions. Being blindfolded, your girlfriend can let loose and treat you to some things you haven’t tried before.

Of course, you don’t need a bondage blindfold to play with sight deprivation, a scarf or something similar works fine. But the right blindfold will be a thousand times hotter. If you don’t believe me, check out my recommendations.

Tips for a pleasant blindfold bondage session

Like it happens with so many things in life, communication is key. Also when it comes to blindfold your partner and enjoying a bondage or BDSM session.

Talk before you play

Playing with blindfolds is a safe and easy way to introduce a bit of BDSM to your sex life. Since it’s such a vanilla BDSM tool, it’s one of those things that you can just pull out in the heat of the moment. Most likely, your girlfriend will love it.

But having a simple conversation before you try something new is also never wrong. Discussing your desire and expectations beforehand will lead to more freedom once you start playing.

Even if a blindfold is on the vanilla side of bondage, a safe word can still be a good idea. And if you combine the blindfold with other toys such as restraints and bondage whips, it’s a must.

ThePleasureKeys

When your girlfriend uses the safe word, gently remove the blindfold.

We don’t know beforehand how we will react to being blindfolded, so don’t have any expectations about how it will play out. Our eyesight is very important for our survival, so it’s only natural that not everyone likes being blindfolded.

Why do we like bondage blindfolds?

playing with bondage blindfold (1)

I think we can all agree, blindfolds are sexy. When you put on a blindfold, your most important sense is taken away, and as a result, the other senses get more activated and sharper.

Being blindfolded is also about trusting your partner, and that form of trust is in itself a huge turn-on. The act of being at your partner’s mercy, not knowing where his fingers and lips are going to touch you next time, is a guaranteed turn-on for most women. Being blindfolded is about anticipation.

When you are blindfolded, you can enjoy the freedom of being less self-aware. With the blindfold, many shy people can let go and be in the moment. As if this weren’t enough to convince you, there is also something mysterious and forbidden about blindfolds. The darkness makes us feel wilder and less self-conscious.

Now that you know all this about why we like bondage blindfolds, you can use the knowledge to your advantage. Maybe you already have some ideas of how you can play with the blindfold; if not, just continue reading.


How to use your bondage blindfolds

Wearing a blindfold is not dangerous, but it does require that you can trust your partner. Always make sure the blindfolded partner is safe and taken care of. Check so that the room is safe and your partner won’t bump into things or fall over.

Dim the lights when it’s time to remove the blindfold, so that your partner can adjust their eyes from darkness to light. This is especially important if the blindfold has been on for a long time.

When you are buying a new bondage blindfold, consider the material and the shape of the blindfold. Most people prefer something smooth and silky, whereas people who are really into bondage games favor blindfolds in genuine leather.

When it’s time to put on the blindfold, don’t tie too hard. A good trick is tying the blindfold on the side of the head rather than in the back. This will ensure there is no discomfort when lying down.

Ideas for Using Your BDSM Blindfold

The charm of a bondage blindfold is that the blindfolded partner has no idea what’s going on. Take full advantage of this and be unpredictable.

With a blindfold, you can play out many different scenarios. A blindfold can be about domination and submission, but it can also be a soft sensual experience. Thus blindfolds are a diverse sex toy.

  • To start on the more sensual side of using bondage blindfolds, you can blindfold your girlfriend and feed her different tasty treats, such as strawberries and chocolate. Don’t forget to have her lick those fingers clean.
  • If you want to proceed on the same theme, you can play with hot and cold sensations. Use an ice cube on the sensitive parts of her body. Bring in a warm liquid such as hot lube or a sponge with warm water and give her a sensation she will never forget.  
  • The primary feeling we are focused on while having sex is touch, and this is amplified when we are blindfolded. So make use of how different things feel against the skin. This is the time to try stimulating erogenous areas, which you usually don’t give attention to. Also, try and stimulate some areas that are not considered erogenous. The result might surprise you.
  • Blindfolds work particularly well with other sex toys, such as ticklers. And if you are curious about using a pinwheel, I highly recommend this sex toy together with a blindfold. The feeling is totally out of this world. 
  • Role plays such as master and slave is classic staple food together with a blindfold. Have the blindfolded partner do sexual favors. Gently dominate their every move. And when they are well-behaved, don’t be afraid to hand out a suitable reward.
  • Wearing a blindfold is a perfect time to try a new sex position. The blindfold will add another dimension to the lovemaking. Also, try one of your favorite sex positions to see how different the sex feels while wearing a blindfold. When you do this, both of you can be blindfolded simultaneously. The inhibitions will loosen, and the other senses will be stronger than ever before.

When your girlfriend is blindfolded, her pleasure is in your hands, please and tease her in every possible way.


Let your girlfriend blindfold you

If you haven’t done it already, you should try reversing the roles and letting your girlfriend blindfold you.

Generally speaking, men are more visually driven than women. Thus men don’t appreciate being blindfolded as much as a woman does. But you might be the exception, and the only way to find out is to let your girlfriend blindfold you.

ThePleasureKeys

This little game will also give you plenty of ideas on what to do the next time she is being blindfolded. Another good aspect of letting your girlfriend blindfold you is that she is forced to take command.

When you have tried something new, always check in with your partner. Ask her about her experience and feelings. By having open and honest communication, you will find more and more ways to satisfy your girlfriend. Using this together with The Master Key, you’ll give her the sex life of her dreams.
