So, to sum it up, being blindfolded rocks, and i think i would love being in a hood even more. *drools"

Thanks lucy! That's exactly what I was trying to convey in my original post!!!

Interesting point. I had never really considered how hooding might appeal to some subs. Given what has been said here, it is something I'd certainly bring up with any sub I had in future.

However, to me hooding is not sensory deprivation. Sensory deprivation would encompass a hood or blindfold, but it would also include earbuds to eliminate ambient sound, heavily perfumed candles to mask smells, hot spices to overload taste, and hands encased in thumbless mittens. (This is something I've thought about, but never had an opportunity to practice.)

ok i have looked at this post a few times and something keeps bring me back to it...

i fear a hood .. on me but more so on my Master .. maybe because i can't read him .. might be silly i know.. but not to be able to see his facial reaction scares the living daylights out of me... sighs but that is half the turn on... i fear it... if i tell the whole truth .. Well that and the smell and taste of the leather of the mask.. i melt to leather ..blushes...

As far as on me i am with most ..it takes away and i feel contained out of control... i also find fear in the fact he can't see my facial expressions because in most cases it is a lot of the time how i show dislike to something.. .. i can take a lot and stay perfectly still and quiet if Master wants me to.. {or if i am mad and get bull headed .. and refuse to show it}.. but my face tells the story... with it hidden he can't read me as well either .. which scares me..

The one WyldWyl my Sir uses online as a form of disipline scares me even more .. the only hole is at the mouth with a tube running from it so he may cut off air as seen needed fit.. one like that i don't think i could ever wear in real life..just out of plain fear... i know what it does to me just with online disipliine and that is bad enough.. i definately learn from the use of it..

everything i do to her i guage on body language and facial expression...

maybe that's inexperience talking but i wouldn't at this stage be remotely comfortable losing that feedback.

that being said i think hoods are really damn sexy and can't wait to try them
