What is a Hood?
The hood is an instrument of depersonalization and sensory deprivation. Completely enveloping the head, it erases the identity of the wearer, transforming them into an anonymous object, a blank canvas onto which the dominant can project their desires. Made of leather, latex, or Lycra, the hood can be fully enclosed, blocking sight and sound, or feature openings for the eyes, nose, and mouth, which can be zippered or laced.
The Effects of the Hood
Sensory deprivation intensifies the other senses, making every touch, every sound, every smell more intense. It is a form of extreme psychological control, where the submissive is completely dependent on the dominant for any interaction with the outside world. The hood is a powerful tool for breaking mental barriers and inducing a state of total submission.
The Hood in Practice
He pulls out the black leather hood. “On your knees.” The leather is cold against your skin as he pulls it over your head. The darkness is instant and total. The sound of your own breathing is deafening. You are blind, anonymous. You are no longer a person; you are an object waiting to be used. His voice is the only thing that reaches you. “Now, you only see what I allow you to see. You only hear me and the sound of my balls hitting your little ass.”
