My first thought when I opened up the box and saw the eye mask was that it is gorgeous. I’ve always loved the colors fuchsia and black together, and in a flowery combination, it made the fact of being blindfolded less frightening and more erotic. My boyfriend and I are vegetarian, and the thought of using a leather blindfold was unappealing to both of us. Using a product that was more feminine and animal-friendly was comforting and made me feel more relaxed. I didn’t want to start out with blindfolds that were the elastic type due to safety concerns and difficult removal. Both my boyfriend and I are new to bondage and safety during play is important to us.

The nice thing about the eye mask was that it was long enough so it could be wrapped around my head, be restraining and sexy, but not too tight.

My boyfriend and I have been interested in sensory deprivation|Senseless Sex?: Sensory Deprivation for a while – the most logical thing that we talked about was using a blindfold during sexual acts.

As he slipped a blindfold over my eyes, I knew I was in for a treat. Not knowing what my boyfriend was going to do to me was such a turn on, and before he started touching me, I was already wet. I had no idea what he was going to do next, whether it be nibbling on my nipples or lapping at my clit. The idea that I was helpless to my boyfriend’s every want and desire was arousing and erotic.

This eye mask was a great introduction to both sensory deprivation|Sensory deprivation in BDSM and light bondage play|The play arsenal of BDSM. The quick release safety feature of the tie in back along with the feminine colors and print (my boyfriend was ok with this!) made our first blindfolding experience enjoyable for both of us.

I’d recommend the Silk sashay blindfold|Silk sashay blindfold to beginners to bondage along with experienced experts. This is truly a wonderful product!
