Common across history and society - masks, hoods and facial coverings are everywhere! Popularized around Halloween, at your Doctor or Dentist's office, masquerades, wrestling events, ancient culture and the creative BDSM world: masks are used to maintain professional hygiene, for anonymity, to enhance a power exchange, or to play someone else, often an alter-ego or God(ess)!

What is a Mask Kink?
A "Mask Kink" or fetish is when a player experiences sexual and psychological excitement from either wearing or seeing someone else wearing/ taking off their mask. The mask is the key aspect behind their attraction and desire. You will discover, in BDSM, masks can serve both a functional, fashionable or pleasurable purpose!
How Masks fit into BDSM
All types of masks are acceptable in BDSM play! Some common types of kink masks and hoods include:
Decorative: elegant masquerade coverings, made from fabric, in elegant designs.
Gimp hoods: these are the go to when you picture a BDSM scene! They are non-restrictive and contain cut-outs for breathing. Available in most materials.
Role play: enhances pet play (cat, puppy, pony, bunny, etc.), Doctor/ Nurse, or specific Cosplay, Anime and Super Hero/ Villain characters.
Bondage: These are a step up from gimp hoods and offer a variety of sensory deprivation or restriction purposes.
Functional: Customized for specific fetishes, like a urinal for body fluid play or a gas mask for breath play/ edge play, sensory deprivation and slave training.

Tips, Tricks and Considerations when Playing with Masks
While masks add a level of spice to a scene, it's important to be aware of considerations, material hinderances and safe play boundaries. Masks and hoods are available in most materials, such as sexy leather, rubber, silicone, neoprene, vegan leather, fabric and latex. Your overall experience may be impacted when rocking specific materials. In other words - if you wear a constricting mask or full body suit for a long session without breaks, be prepared to sweat! Rubber and high quality silicone are desired by My playmates for their ability to feel like a second skin, plus they are super easy to sanitize. Visually appealing latex is made to be worn tightly and will restrict facial gestures. As latex is known to amplify temperature, make sure you keep your external environment in mind! Latex may become overwhelmingly steamy and constricting. While training with a functional mask, bondage restraints, or using a gas mask for "edge play", it's crucial that your Mistress has a solid foundation of training. Whether you are a first timer, or an experienced fetishist, I always ensure that we have a thorough conversation about what to expect, boundaries/ limits, as well safe words and time for breaks in place. As our session winds down, I make space for aftercare and de-briefing about what was enjoyable/ unpleasant for you. This is so you have an experience that is valuable, safe and enjoyable!
Final Thoughts
Mask kink and fetish is a popular trend in My kinky playground. It amplifies the power dynamic of traditional BDSM dynamics and enhances your ability to get into your chosen pet role or assigned character head-space. The sexuality and mystery can morph a scene into one that is both psychologically and physically hot, (pun intended!). If you are turned on by the idea of wearing a mask, or you already own one that you wish to use in a session with Me - I would love to hear from you! Make sure to leave a comment or message Me directly so that I can turn your kinky fantasy into reality!
Affectionately,
Your fabulous Mistress Cali Sinn, xo
