I saw the video of Good Mythical Morning doing it. I think I would immediately flip out, since I get really panicked when I feel trapped. Im not afraid of enclosed spaces, I actually like them. I just am afraid of something locking me in.
Is it supposed to have much of an effect on you? I thought they were just supposed to be a relaxing and meditative experience. I haven't personally used one, but my brother does on a monthly basis.
Im assuming we arent talking about the bondage porn where a person gets blinded by a hood and/or their ears covered.
Every day, plenty of men and women engage in sensory deprivation. Only what they call it is going out for a few drinks.
Nevertheless, not for me, thanks. I like my faculties where they are.

basically the human mind needs constant stimulation, which your conscious mind normally filters out as things like background noise but if it is deprived of stimulation it does the next best thing. makes it up its self. so you are basically hallucinating your ass off but are lucid at the same time.disturbia said:
Yeah... even studied why in psych. But keep in mind you can recreate many effects sensory deprivation without having to go into a black, lightless, insulated room.
There is a thing called 'white torture' ... where the right use of lights and white wash, you can fuck someone up. There is also a phenomena known as "prisoner's cinema" ... which is why solitary confinement + prison grey = persistent mind fuck.
White torture is so destructive to a person's sense of reality, it begins to break down. Sufferers soon lose the ability to effectively maintain a proper self-identity. In white torture, you force people to wear all white, their meals protein treated white rice. White plastic cups, white paper plates, white-washed walls, and you'll destroy an otherwise healthy psyche within a few days.

I remember in the army I was doing wilderness training. Australia is incredibly flat. Wet season, we were in an arid landscape with no visible trees, no visible hills, and heavy cloud cover. Given the exercise we weren't allowed to use personal light sources. Just dig in and wait till dawn.Saelune said:
It's pretty trippy. As someone who previously dpent nearly all their life in cities, you don't really know 'dark' until you go out into the middle of nowhere. My old apartment was perpetually illuminated by the red glow of a neon sign all night long. I liked it. Small things you miss when you change apartments.
I don't think you can "give yourself" sensory deprivation. "Sensory deprivation" isn't just being alone in bed in a dark room, which is every night for everybody. You're locked in the dark in a room you can't exit, where you don't see, hear, smell or otherwise sense anything, so much so that you're unable to feel time passing. If you were able to call it off at any moment it would lose its purpose.
I dont think being able to be undeprived of senses really invalidates being deprived of them. You might not be blind when you close your eyes, but that doesnt mean you can see because you can then open them and resume having sight when you want to.Johnny Novgorod said:
I don't think it would have much effect on me. Or if it does it would take ages. I have a very active imagination with images during 'quiet time' (like going to bed for instance), and also through my own past mistakes a permanent whistling tone in my ears. So it's hard to fully deprive my senses of everything.
