When it comes to sex and masturbation, there’s no denying that every sense has power. Whether it’s a light caress of lips on your neck or the sound of your partner moaning, every sense we have can impact how we’re feeling and how aroused we are. Similarly, removing those senses can have a whole new effect which is why sensory deprivation is such a widespread and popular kink (think blindfolds).
We’re going to experiment with this further today by trying pitch-black play. You might think that being blindfolded is the same as pitch-black play but in my opinion, there’s a slight difference. When you’re blindfolded, you can often see light peeking in from the edges of your vision and you can feel the fabric on your skin. Pitch-black play is about trying to create the most naturally dark space possible where even if you open your eyes, you can barely see in front of you – without a blindfold.
It’s pretty much impossible to achieve true pitch-black when your eyes are open but you can get close. That’s the goal for today – to explore how it feels when you play in the dark.
Rules and Information:
- You can orgasm at any time. This is not about orgasm control.
- Create a space that is as dark as possible. Play at night. Choose a room with small windows and make sure they’re completely covered with curtains or blinds shut. Turn off all the lights outside the room and reduce light pollution as much as possible.
- Try to find a quiet space, too. Sight and hearing are two of the most distracting senses when it comes to solo play. Try to remove them both before you start.
- No toys. Use just your hands to play. Take this time alone to explore your body as it is.
- Once you have read the brief instructions, put your phone aside too. The instructions are short. Look over them quickly, then lock your phone and put it aside so that it doesn’t create a light source. Use your imagination and your fantasies to spend some time alone with your body.
- Optional: Use a blindfold. If you can’t create a really dark space, use a blindfold to help.
Instructions:
- Create a dark space.
- Choose a position and technique. Get comfortable.
