I have a VERY bizare question.....

[Vault101]

curiosity has gotten the better of me and I'm not really at a place where I feel comfortable googling this (I'm NOT at work...mabye)

so this is for you sexual deviants out there

S&M...I know has all this stuff with leather and whips and chains and such...that kind of makes sense

but more specifically....those masks..full face leather masks with two eye holes and a zip across the mouth

so I'm wondering whats the deal/purpose with those things? are they ment for the dom or the sub? what do they mean?

Its to do with sensory deprevation mate I'm not into this whole thing but for example if you cut out all light and sound but your fully awake you often have colourful hallucinations or audio halucinations. I would imagine it has something to do with that.

Also a trust thing you are not able to see or speak and are completely at the whim of the person in control.

Came to see how bizzare the question actually was. Was left slightly disappointed... Come on OP you've got to try harder than this if you want to live up to your "very bizzare" status! XD

Dammit Internet what have you done to my innocence!?

OT: What that guy said ^

It's easier to hurt and objectify people when you don't see their faces.

You say I ask weird questions? Pff.

They're meant to make you feel constricted and not-entirely free. Dull your senses. Like a prisoner. So the sub.

Now why do you ask? :3 :3 :3 :3 :3

There is nothing as human as the human face; with it we identify one another, express emotion and attract mates. In many ways, our face is our identity. Think of someone you know. What do you see? Their face, most likely. Maybe their hair and their clothes, but most certainly you see their face.

To take away someone's face, to hide it or even to harm it, is to remove their identity, to degrade them to a sub-human level and to take power over them as a dominant force. Wearing a mask can also remove your humanity in a different way; rather than simply degrade you, taking away that very human element can reduce you to object, to play thing. By removing (by obscuring) someone's face, they become emotionless and detached. They aren't people with thoughts, feelings and desires. Now they are faceless objects, free to be used and abused in ways we perhaps wouldn't allow ourselves to otherwise.

people are free to take it as seriously (or unseriosuly) or as vanilla or kinky as they like...tis the joys of living in the 21st century
