Do you think ball gags are degrading?

Contributor: Zandrock Zandrock
Depends on your term of degrading. Actually degrading I don't think so. Degrading within the scene or "play degrading" then yes. If it is consensual then nothing is degrading, it is just you and your partner enjoying yourself.

The first time I heard about ball gags I thought that it was degrading.I heard it was something you put in a woman mouth to make her be quiet.I don't think of it as degrading anymore but,I don't want to wear one.

depends on the situation, normally no but it depends on the gag type too.

Very much so. It just has a nasty/dirty feel to it

Some gags can be- but it definitely depends on the scene

Mine hasn't been degrading enough. We're working on playing it up though, so we'll see.

I don't think that any consensual and mutually desired sex act is inherently degrading...I mean, if you get off on degradation fantasies and your partner does too, then the point is moot. But what makes something degrading, really degrading to the point of damaging, is lack of consent, or being coerced into consent.

A little, but that's what makes it fun. For me at least.

I voted you because when I'm gagged (or when I gag someone) its meant to be degrading.

I don't find them degrading, but can be useful to help keep quiet.

I don't think they are degrading if the person wants to wear one.

It depends, but generally I'd say no since you're voluntarily wearing them, I'd only say it was really degrading if you were unwillingly forced to wear one.

something between no and a little. i've worn one and the drooling was a little embarrassing but i don't think it was degrading really

I also don't love the idea of anything happening between consensual adults being degrading. It's not something I want to do, but whatever floats your boat!!

Male dom/female sub doesn't sit well with me because of the power dynamics. I personally would not enjoy it and feel degraded.

I know others either do not find it degrading at all, or consider that a part of the experience that they like. I'm not knowledgeable enough to speak about why people like it though.

Not at all. I like the idea of wearing a ball gag, if only I had one.

Some gags can look scary, and some scenes are definitely meant to degrade but not all. I personally think it's less about the equipment and more about the acts being done.
