How to Use a Blindfold For Better Sex

Simple, sexy and fun, the blindfold is a must-have for those looking to dabble with bedroom bondage.

Blindfolds are a tool to enhance sensation. Without sight we rely on our other senses much more, so smells, sounds, tastes and physical contact are all enhanced.

Blindfolds also build anticipation as we try to interpret what our partner is going to do next. Variation and anticipation will leave your partner totally aroused – and you’ll feel like an incredible lover!

A blindfold holds so much pleasure potential – from sensuality to sex-play around power and control.

One of the questions we get asked most at Lovehoney is what exactly do you do once your partner’s blindfolded? Check out these sex tips for using a blindfold to help make your play run a little more smoothly.

1. Back to basics

Blindfolds. Probably one of the few things on a sex toy website you’re likely to have encountered in everyday life. When you think about it, a blindfold is really no different to a sleep mask. (Yep, the ones that you get on an aeroplane.) They are also comfortable and easy to put on, many coming with adjustable ties or super-stretchy elastic like this one.

This makes them a brilliant, non-intimidating addition to your bedroom routine.

When it comes to playing with your blindfold, it may be easy to get carried away with sexy blindfold ideas and fantasies. But remember, there’s nothing wrong with going back to basics to begin with. Slipping on a blindfold will enhance all kinds of experiences, from sensual massages to oral sex – The only difference is that now someone’s wearing a blindfold.

Maximise your partner’s pleasure with a handjob, combined with a simple, water-based lube. Or build the tension by pausing between each touch and kiss and leaving your partner wanting more.
