Gagged Tickling

gags make me gag!
I dunno, to me hearing the uninhibited laughter of the lee is a big part of the thrill of being a tickler. No to mention, how about the use of safeword? With a gag, the lee doesn't have the same safety that they would without it.
To me gagging a lee is like going to an art museum at night with dark sunglasses on the whole time - you're selling yourself short of the full experience just because it may look cool. 😎
Just my $0.02 ($0.03 Canadian)
Happy New Year to all!

Well, I'm not into gagging all of the time. Sometimes it's just an arousing form of elivated domination. I like crazy, desperate laughter just as much as the next tickler if not more but, sometimes it's fun to hear that muffled laughter coupled with that agonizing yet comical facial expression.

Myth Busting 🙂
People act as though a simple gag cuts off all sound-that's only on bad cop shows
I'm a *huge* fan of gagged tickling, and the notion of not being able to hear the laughter is a myth unless you're actually stuffing the 'lee's mouth with cotton and insulation. It's different, yes, but just as yummy. Trust me on this, as long as the gag is a simple one and comfortable you can hear all the lovely laughter you could desire, plus you have the added delicious bonus of being able to taunt and tease and utterly infuriate by asking questions they can't answer: "Your ribs itch, you say? No problem, I'll scratch them for you!" "Can I taste your toes? Really? Gee thanks!!"
Gags have given me some of THE wrongest and most diabolically memorable sessions I've experienced, as both 'lee and 'ler; in fact, I've had many 'lees actually laugh *louder and harder*,yes you read that right, because they weren't worried what they sounded like laughing and shrieking so hysterically (some people are sensitive about their laugh and other sounds and hold back). As for safety, it's simple: you give the 'lee a small ball or scarf to hold in one hand. If she needs a break she drops it. Or, you tie her hands over her head close enough that she can clap. I've done these many, many times and it works beautifully. In fact, the desperation to hold onto the object just adds to the 'lee's predicament, and that's always a good thing 
Gags aren't for everyone but they do 'not' spoil the laughter, believe me.

I'm also a big fan of gag use in a tickling session. However, not all 'lees are comfortable with this at first. A lot of it depends on how the dominant approaches things. Don't push anyone.
I agree with Bella that a gag can greatly add to the feel of a session, especially when it comes to the verbal interaction. You can't replace that look in the eyes that only a gagged 'lee can accomplish.
As a practitioner of creative bondage, I've used gags from the simple bandana-cleave to full head-gear ball-gags. One thing that always works for a safe-sign is a simple snapping of the fingers. No matter the bondage (well, barring the use of bondage mittens...), you can always snap your fingers three times. The use of a ball or such in the hand, to be dropped in case of trouble, has been mentioned on other occasions. I'm not a big believer in that method, although others find it useful enough. They tend to get dropped a lot for non-essential reasons, and if it happens often enough, a real emergency may get overlooked.

Actually, I don't like gags, I tend to enjoy the laugher and the dialog between 'ler and 'lee. It adds so much to the event.
There's something to be said for that. But there's also a lot of fun to be had with their expressions when they realize that they can't even beg.tklcouple said:
There are other ways to handle safe-signals. "Shave and a haircut" works. So does "three of anything" (three finger-snaps, three quick "mmphs", etc.)

Thank you Dave. Far from being like an art museum with dark glasses, it's as though the art has been beautifully enhanced for your pleasure

I can see that as a hindrance, though in my experience you can definitely tell when she's just dropped the ball vs when she's flung that sucker across the room out of desperation
. I should have mentioned snapping fingers, thanks!

One last thing on the "drop the ball" method of gagged safe signals. This method does work for a lot of people. I'm not advocating that no one use the method. I personally don't like it because of the nature of the way I like to play. It has been my personal experience that it is a confusing method. But, it is a staple for many others. No real right or wrong here.
But the dialog about the method between Bella and myself proves one point: Know Your 'Lee! No method is safe if you don't know what you're doing or are not playing with safety on the brain to begin with. I have always advocated not using gags at all until you and your partner really know each other and/or are familiar with each others' limits and style of play, unless the Dominant has a lot of personal experience in such things.

The main safety issues I can see with gags are two: breathing and jaw issues.
People with stuffy noses shouldn't use gags. If you have a tendency to asthma, then use a gag that allows you to breathe freely (such as a whiffle ball or bit gag), or just don't use them. Watch for any indication of choking or other distress.
Don't use a gag that is too large. Unless the goal is a certain type of stringent bondage (in which case the gag isn't usually kept in place more than a few minutes), there's no need for mouth-stretching gags. Anything that keeps the 'lee from speaking is usually fierce enough.

Iam a "Whatever Floats One's Boat" kind of guy, especially having my unusual interest of seeing girls barefoot on ladders. I do respect those who like gagged tickling, as we are all entitled to our individual interests. Personally, I do not care for gagged tickling, and this is why.
Being both ler and lee as Iam, I will put it this way. I've never been gagged, but as the lee, I would think it hard to breathe, and have control over one's mouth, with the gag on. It would just seem to be too constricting for me.
As the ler, I most enjoy hearing the "laugh out loud", for lack of a better term, laughter of the lee. I especially love to hear a high pitched girlish squeal out of a lee Iam tickling, as well as begging. With a gag on, I cant hear all those sounds, and to me, it diminishes the fun of the tickling. If I met a girl who wanted to be gagged when she was tickled, then I surely would grant her wish, at least sometimes, but on a regular basis, for the reasons I stated, I would prefer not to use a gag on my lee, or have a gag placed on my mouth if Iam the lee.

Am I still allowed to post those pics here or should I make a new topic?
As for gags, they can be arranged to minimize speaking and maximize the laughter and squealing. I don't know how, but gags have grown on me. I've found that adding a gag can really amplify the tickling and the improve general experience.
What really concerns me is packing things behing the gags (rag, panties,etc). What do you guys and gals think of that?

Okay, so I've heard a lot about why some of you 'lers like gags. But are there any 'lees out there who can say that they enjoy them? So far, I haven't heard anything that suggests they add anything to *our* experience. Can anyone out there explain to me why I would want to wear a gag?

That makes me a little uneasy because of the probable choking hazzard but, I also understand the idea behind it.

For me as a 'lee being gagged would make me feel more helpless and add to the frustration factor and since I'm a masochist that would arouse me.
If you like being teased while you're tickled, gags promote that. They increase the feeling of helplessness and loss of control. So again if that's something you enjoy then gags would do well by you.LindyHopper said:
A bottom I know of says that a gag "keeps the bubbles in the champagne."
steph said:
I don't have asthma, but sometimes have issues breathing through my nose. If a gag is covering my mouth and I have difficulty breathing, I might not be able to signal to my ler that I'm having problems. Then what??
Hey, I'm still trying to graduate my way to restraints. I'm a ler, but not a true "dominant". I'm in it for the fun, laughter, and mild to moderate sense of control.
To gag or not to gag-that question can only be answered between playmates/partners.
LindyHopper said:
wellllll i answered this in another thread but i'll answer again. to me wearing a gag would complete the total helplessness which is such a turn on for me. not always probably but sometimes yes i fantasize about being gagged and also blindfolded while tied and tickled. ahh the joys of imagination

For LindyHopper:
As I wrote earlier: Gags have given me some of THE wrongest and most diabolically memorable sessions I've experienced, as both 'lee and 'ler
I was a 'lee for a long time before I even *thought* about really trying my hand at being a 'ler (excuse the sad pun
), and for quite a while I would only play if I could wear a gag. I absolutely adore wearing them, a soft small ball gag or a simple, soft bandanna style to be specific. They don't hamper your breathing in the least no matter how intense the tickling, in fact they're 'made' for comfort and easy breathing. Frankly it's rare that I meet a 'lee who's actually tried it, instead of merely speculating how they 'think' it would feel, who doesn't enjoy wearing one on occasion. They greatly add to the feelings of helplessness and vulnerability that enhance a session for many 'lees like myself, taking it from good to amazing. I've been fortunate and honored to play with some of the best 'lers around, champions at teasing banter; not being able to reply with something equally witty and downright bratty is frustrating and wrong and a seriously awesome experience 
. I particularly enjoy them with a blindfold; having your sight and your power of speech compromised can really heighten your sensitivity, making the sensations more intense a a marvelous way.
