How to Use a Blindfold for Better Sex

Whether you’re at the beginning of your bondage journey and looking to explore the essentials, blindfolds are a kinky way to add a little more excitement into your sex life.

Commonly used as a form of light bondage, a sexy blindfold strips things back to basics and focuses on experiencing more sensual sex. Below are some of our tips on the many ways you can use bondage blindfolds or eye masks to increase the thrill and take your sex to the next level.

Tease, Tease, Tease!

Blindfolds don’t have to just be used during sex; they can also make a great addition to pleasurable foreplay. Build up the sexual tension by blindfolding your partner and slowly exploring their sweet spots, such as kissing their neck or touching their inner thigh. Teasing your partner whilst their eyes are blindfolded will make them anticipate the excitement of what is next to come, or even keep them waiting to increase the suspense.

The unknowing of what will happen is what makes sensations overwhelming and more seductive. You could even turn it up a notch by sweeping a flogger or tickler over their skin to leave them wanting more.

Intensify Their Senses

Depriving your partner of one of their senses ultimately intensifies others. So, by preventing your partner from being able to see with a blindfold eye masks, you allow their taste, touch, and hearing to amplify, which can increase arousal and leave them beholden to your next move. This is the perfect time to send their senses crazy, use one of our stimulating rubs on their sensitive erogenous zones to give them a pleasurable tingling sensation and intensify their senses.

Whilst sexual vulnerability through BDSM can result in some of the most intimate moments during sex, it is also important to agree on a safe word with your partner before so they can clearly communicate when things are getting a bit too much. Blindfold bondage is favourable for making women feel less inhibited, allowing them to let go and ultimately leading to more intense orgasms, but it can sometimes have the opposite effect on men as they are much more reliant on the visual aspects of sex.

Get Experimental

Using a BDSM blindfold is an exciting way of asserting control and discovering who likes to be the one who takes charge. But it doesn’t have to stop at blindfolds, you can improvise by using them alongside restraints, such as cuffs for your partners wrists or ankles.

It’s important to make sure you communicate with your partner before introducing a new play so that you can have a strong understanding of one another’s likes and dislikes. When enhancing your sexual experience through experimenting with bondage, blindfold sex or foreplay can be a seductive way to gain more trust between yourself and your partner.

Make It Raunchy

A lot of couples like the thought of mutual masturbation, but some feel too uncomfortable to pleasure themselves in front of their partner. So why not try masturbating for your partner whilst you wear a blindfold? Not being able to see them watching you will put you more at ease and allow you to focus on yourself. Choose a faux leather blindfold for more of a luxurious and kinky feel, you could also pleasure yourself using a vibrator, which will turn up the heat and make you irresistible to watch.

If you aren’t used to being the one in control, blindfolding your partner may give you the confidence you need to take advantage of the dominance. You could take the reins by giving a blindfold blowjob or even a simple but effective blindfolded massage, let go and unleash your raunchy side. If roleplay is your thing, restrain your partner with rope or a set of handcuffs and blindfold them for an exhilarating restrained scenario with you in control.
