Why Sensory Deprivation is the ULTIMATE Mind-Fuck.

Sensory Deprivation is the deliberate removal of stimuli of one or more of the sense, be it, touch, taste, sight, or sound. It can produce interesting results, like a feeling of repression, or even anxiety. It can also heighten the senses which are not removed, particularly if this is coupled with extreme bondage. But ultimately; if used correctly; it can change your whole perception of things...

Now here's a little scenario for those who have been curious about sensory deprivation. There are only two people in the room; you and I. The only item of clothing available to you is a Sensory Deprivation suit. You're locked into it. Your arms and legs are bound. A gag is placed in your mouth. Your eyes are blindfolded. Headphones playing continuous music are placed on your ears. You're waiting to see what Mistress will do next...waiting..almost holding your breath in anticipation...but it doesn't come. Instead; you are left - completely helpless - in the darkness; the music drowning out the possible clues you can get from any other noise.

You have no concept of time. The only thing you can do is guess when the minutes and hours are ticking by. But as time passes; panic overwhelms you and a sickening thought enters your head and begins to play like a record stuck on repeat..."what if Mistress doesn't come back?"

And what if She doesn't come back? Who will come to your rescue? Who will even KNOW where you are? You try to scream, but only a pathetic gurgle escapes from your gagged mouth. Suddenly the darkness in which you find yourself becomes almost suffocating. You're trying to calm yourself with deep breaths, as much as your bounds will allow. You crave some form of reassurance that you won't be left along like this forever. Surely Mistress wouldn't do that....would She?

Your anxiety climbs higher and a cold-sweat breaks out on your back. You've no idea of how long you have been locked up for. Minutes? Hours? The music in your ears that was at first soothing, now becomes an irritation. You long for the things you have once taken for granted - the sound of life, birds, people, the wind, traffic. Those things are now but a memory as the continuous drone of the music penetrates your brain.

And then there's the dark. The darkness has become almost painful. You're so desperate to see the light of day or any kind of light. As the darkness starts imprint itself on your brain; your anxiety rises further. Unwelcome thoughts fill your head; thoughts of being cut off from the world forever. But this is just a game, surely? In the position you find yourself; can you truly be sure of that?

But wait...what is this? You can't see, you can't hear..but you can sense something standing in front of you. Something is close to you...you just know it! You start feel a sense of relief wash through your body...could it be that you're about to receive your freedom once more? Your heartbeat increases in anticipation that any moment now; the blindfold will be removed and you'll be able to see the light you desperately crave. Your body is starting to relax as you wait; the suspense becoming unbearable until...damn! No! How is this possible?! That presence you felt is gone! You try to cry out in despair only to emit yet another pathetic gurgle. Right now, you feel such a sense of injustice. It takes all you have not to burst into tears. You were so sure this was it - you were about to be released, and yet it was cruelly taken away from you.

The longer you're deprived; the more you begin to accept your fate. You realise that you have no choice but to remain here until She decides it's time for your release. You understand that you are at Her complete mercy. Your life is in Her hands. Your mind is full of conflicting emotions. You're angry - how dare Mistress do this to you?! You're scared - you want to fall to your knees and beg for your release. You promise that you will never again disobey or annoy your Mistress. Internally, you're bargaining for your freedom. You feel a sense of gratitude - Mistress holds the key to your freedom and you must do what it takes to gain it. All these emotions continue to bump up against one another until finally...nothing. Your mind is a complete blank. Your thoughts have switched off completely. You've been broken.

As time passes, you finally acknowledge the fact that you've been broken. Your body and your mind are no longer yours. They belong to the one who holds you captive. You no longer think for yourself - you think for Mistress. She is at the forefront of your thoughts. You realise that from this point onwards, it is Mistress who is important. You are just a by-product.

Finally, you feel movement...the blindfold which has kept you in the dark for an indeterminate period of time is being loosened. Slowly it is being removed. It is agonisingly slow and as a tiny glimmer of light penetrates your eyeballs; your mind is filled with renewed respect for the One who now truly owns you. Mistress.

The moment your gag is released, you drink in the cold air on your tongue - parched to feel it. The headphones are removed from your head - and you resist the impulse to sob with joy at hearing normal, natural sounds.

And finally, the bonds which have shackled you are released. Your body is free and you move your aching limbs to get the soreness and stiffness out of them. You drop to your knees - and kiss the feet of your Owner as the tears of gratitude fall from your eyes. You feel nothing but awe for the One who has kept you locked away for so long. You have weathered the storm, and now you know you have come fully compliant. The mind-fuck Mistress has enjoyed has had the desired effect. You now know your place in life...
