I've never been in a hood but blindfolded a lot. I don't know if that counts, and don't care either, i'll answer the questions anyway

I too feel like liberated from inhibitions when i'm blindfolded. Touch, hearing and smelling become more important and the corresponding sensations more intense. And that's just great, imho.
And finally there is the effect of feeling much more helpless when i'm blindfolded.
So, to sum it up, being blindfolded rocks, and i think i would love being in a hood even more. *drools"

Damn, now it's 9pm here and the kinkstore is closed and i can't hurry there to buy one.
