As with all sexual games, there are several important rules:
- Rule "yes". Before starting intimate experiments, make sure that your partner shares your desires.
- Rule of safe word. Be ready to immediately stop the game if your partner does not like it and has reported this by saying a pre-agreed word (for example, "red").
- Rule of boundaries. Discuss with your partner what sexual actions he considers unacceptable, and do not cross that line.
If mutual respect is in place in your couple, the idea of trying sex with blindfolds will surely appeal to you. Especially since this game has at least seven pleasant bonuses.
1. You will get more vivid sensations from sex than ever before
The blindfold temporarily takes away a person's ability to see. Losing one of the senses (scientists call Effects of Sensory Deprivation / Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine this state sensory deprivation), the brain tries to compensate for it by increasing sensitivity to other stimuli.
Touch, whisper, smell, and taste under the blindfold are perceived much more sharply than usual. And the sexual game will feel more vivid and sensual.

The person is constantly anticipating the next touch, their nervous system is tense. This increases J. M. Schober, D. Pfaff.

3. You will get rid of awkwardness
Small children, when scared, hide under a blanket. Adults sometimes do the same: for example, a girl who is unsure about the beauty of her body prefers to have sex only in the dark — so that the man does not see her imperfections and does not get disappointed.
The blindfold is a way to "turn off the light" for one of the partners. This reduces anxiety levels, psychologically liberates, and makes intimate pleasures more free.
4. You will easily take a step toward new techniques
Often a blindfold is just a piece of soft fabric. If a person agrees to wear it over their eyes, it will be easier for them to accept limitations on mobility, for example. Thus, the same piece of fabric can be used to tie wrists (just to clarify: remember the rule of "yes" and boundaries?).
By the way, sex with blindfolds can very well be the first careful step toward BDSM. If, of course, you are both willing to try this sexual practice.
5. You will be able to try role-playing games
With closed eyes, it is easy to fantasize. For example, you can imagine that a completely different, unfamiliar person is in the place of your partner. In turn, the one whose eyes are open can change their voice, tone, behavior model: for example, take on the role of a strict teacher, a doctor, or a nurse.
You will not need costumes for dressing up or complicated preparations: a blindfold is enough to create a new game scenario.
6. You will learn to trust each other more
By allowing someone to tie your eyes, you are demonstrating trust. And you are rewarded for this: tenderness, pleasant sensations, dizzying sex. Thus, the connection "I trust — I feel good" is reinforced. This brings partners closer.
7. And you will be more responsible in relationships
The one whose eyes are closed learns to trust. The one who ties, along with the awareness of "I am trusted," gains control. This feeling of power stimulates, excites, and acts as a powerful psychological aphrodisiac. At the same time, the person must remember how important it is to be gentle, not to cross boundaries, and to hold back to please their partner.
Thus, the connection "I show responsibility — I feel good" is created and solidified. It fosters more attentive and caring relationships within the couple.
