Seeing women being gagged and unable to talk can be a very arousing experience for some. But why do men in particular like to see gagged women and do the ladies themselves even like to be gagged?
Let’s find out in today’s BDSM article!
Reasons Why Men Like Seeing Gagged Women
The interest in seeing gagged women could be attributed to a combination of psychological, cultural, and individual factors.
Here are a few reasons that might help explain this sexual preference, also known as having a gag fetish, for some men:
Power Dynamics and Control with Gags
Some guys may find general power dynamics and control to be intriguing or sexually arousing. Gagged women are especially popular in the world of BDSM (Bondage, Dominance, Submission & Masochism), where gags work as a means of depriving free speech.
In this context, seeing a woman bound and gagged might symbolize a power exchange or a sense of dominance for those who are drawn to such imagery.
The idea of being a man in control over a woman and her mouth can be a psychological element that attracts some individuals. For some men, gags work as a way of degrading women to empower themselves.
There is also the whole humiliation aspect of gagging women with various objects to shut them up.
For example, a man stuffing dirty panties in a woman’s mouth followed by tight layers of duct tape wrapped around her head can be a way more humiliating gag, than making her wear a simple ballgag.
Forbidden Fantasies and the Taboo of Gagged Women
Human fantasies are complex and diverse, often involving elements that might be considered taboo or forbidden in reality. Some men are sometimes drawn to fantasies that include elements of abduction, restraint, humiliation, submission, or domination.
These types of hardcore BDSM fantasies can offer an escape from everyday life and make guys orgasm while jerking off to the sight (and sound) of videos with gagged girls in bondage.
Just to mention one of the darkest and most forbidden fantasies related to the whole gagged women fetish, is the bondage abduction fantasy, but generally speaking, it is still in modern society classified as taboo to being sexually aroused seeing women bound and gagged.
The Appealing Aesthetics of a Gagged Women
Sometimes, the aesthetic aspect of a particular bondage image or BDSM video can be appealing to specific individuals. The visual contrast between the restraint of a gag and the vulnerability of a person’s expression could be intriguing on an artistic or visual level.
Some men with a fetish for gagged women classify themselves as “Gag Snobs”. For a Gag Snob, the look (aesthetics) of a gag is just as crucial as the silencing effect of it. For example, a gag snob doesn’t like to see wrinkled duct tape on a woman’s mouth, but rather a clean, smooth piece that adds to her natural beauty.
There are also gag fetish people claiming that a woman’s eyes become so much more beautiful when her mouth is gagged. Perhaps this is because her eyes are the only way she can try and communicate, once her mouth is locked up.
Gagged Women in TV Shows and Movies
Media, including movies, TV shows, and fetish pornography, can significantly influence people’s preferences and perceptions of what is considered attractive or arousing.
Most men with a fetish for gags remember the very first time they got a hard-on seeing a woman all tied up and gagged on TV. The majority of these men were just young kids seeing cartoon girls in bondage or Hollywood actresses bound and gagged.
The kidnapping of women, and the binding and gagging of them in relation to that, is often depicted in TV shows, movies, and Sunday-morning cartoons.
If certain types of imagery are commonly depicted in media, for example, women in bondage, they can become normalized and even fetishized at a very early age for some individuals.
Personal Psychological Factors
Individual psychological traits and experiences play a role in shaping preferences. Childhood experiences, personal fantasies, and individual personality traits can all contribute to why someone might be attracted to the universe of gagged women.
Some gag fetish guys have told stories about how they were raised in strict Christian communities where all kinds of sex are considered taboo. Others explained how they either played tie-up games with their babysitter, got bound and gagged by their brothers or sisters, or got handgagged by a dominant girl at school:
Rebecca would give Isabella strict orders to silence me by using her hands as a gag. She directly told Isabella “shut him up!”
It is very important to understand that many psychological factors, many of which have roots in childhood, can be significant catalysts for initiating fetishes such as seeing gagged ladies.
Variety of Tastes in Gags
Just as with any other sexual fetish, there is a wide range of tastes when it comes to preferences and interests in gags. People are unique and may be attracted to various elements that resonate with them personally.
For those who love seeing gagged chicks, there are A LOT of different gags to choose from. The most popular gags, though, are the ball gags, duct tape gags, cleave gags, and over-the-mouth gags (aka OTM gags) as these are the gags widely used in TV shows and movies.
Most of these gags come with mouth stuffings such as worn panties, dirty socks, or pantyhose.
Do Women Like Being Gagged?
Statistically speaking, yes – women like being gagged and give away power and control.
One of the most common sexual fantasies in women is those of being tied up and gagged while fucked in bondage. To be dominated sexually. A rape fantasy, if you will. Most women also fantasize about being bound, silenced, and made to cum by getting forced orgasms in bondage.
These factors held up against how many women are adult performers in bondage and BDSM videos, alongside those who willingly agree to portray the role of gagged damsels in distress in bondage on TV and in movies, it is safe to say that women generally like being gagged.
But again, each woman is an individual with her own preferences, and not every woman likes being gagged. Some may have had bad experiences with having their mouth blocked, others are simply scared by the thought of it.
It is always important to make sure that the person being gagged is comfortable with it.
