Gag

Gag is a broad term for an item or arrangement intended to limit speech or alter how someone sounds during an agreed BDSM scene. A Ball Gag is one specific kind of gag, not a synonym for every use of the broader term. Context, materials, and a person’s ability to communicate can all differ.

Any activity that reduces verbal communication deserves heightened care. It should begin only with clear consent, mutually understood ways to pause or stop, and respect for any decision to opt out. This entry does not provide instructions for using a gag.
