Blindfolding is a very common and useful technique in BDSM. When vision is obscured, it allows both partners to boldly try things they might usually be too shy to attempt. The inability to see the surrounding environment heightens the sense of novelty and excitement for both partners.
When blindfolded, the excitement comes from not knowing what the partner will do next. The sudden touch of the body, the uncertainty of where the next caress will be, or hearing the sound of a sex toy without knowing what will happen next, creates intense anticipation and thrill.
Additionally, being blindfolded can involve being asked to perform various actions without seeing, which heightens the sense of stimulation and joy. The partner giving verbal instructions while the blindfolded partner follows them can be incredibly arousing and satisfying.
However, it's important to ensure safety since the blindfolded partner cannot see their surroundings. Even in a familiar room, there is a risk of bumping into objects or falling off the bed. Therefore, the dominant partner (S) must always be vigilant about the submissive partner’s (M) safety.
