How to Use a Blindfold for Better Sex

Whether you’re a bondage beginner who’s wanting to take baby steps, or a bondage pro wanting to go back to the essentials, blindfolds are the perfect way to add a touch of kinkiness into your sex life.

Commonly used as a form of light bondage, a 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 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 caressing their skin using massage oils or body paints, not only will it feel insanely good, but it will certainly 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, you cause their taste, touch, and hearing to amplify, which can increase stimulation and also leave them feeling vulnerable. This is the perfect time to send their senses crazy with a tickler or gently stroke their skin with a flogger to intensify their arousal.

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. Blindfolds are 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 blindfold is an exciting way of putting yourself in control and discovering if you like 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 gags or cuffs for your partners wrists or ankles.

It’s important to make sure you communicate with your partner before introducing new play so that you can have a strong understanding of one another’s likes and dislikes. When enhancing sexual experience through experimenting with bondage, blindfolded play can be a seductive way to win the trust of your partner and make them feel at ease without the pressure of having eye contact.

Make It Raunchy

A lot of couples like the thought of mutual masturbation, but some feel too uncomfortable to pleasure themselves infront 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. Once comfortable 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.

How To Tie A Blindfold

Nothing quite kills the moment more than pausing to work out how to use your bedroom accessories, so before introducing a blindfold it is worth knowing the best way to tie them. Choosing a satin or silk material that is soft but feels sexy is a great option, especially for beginners, as it avoids any irritation from becoming a distraction. For elastic blindfolds, ensure they are well fitted but not too tight, and when using a tie blindfold it is best to tie at the side in order to prevent it from digging into the back of your partners head when they are laid down.

Remember, when it comes to indulging in types of bondage such as blindfolding, it’s all about feeling at ease and embracing one another’s bodies. Make sure to talk to your partner and be aware of what they are comfortable with. Sex is supposed to be intimate, so take your time to enjoy the moment in a way that suits you both.
