Ball Gag

What is a ball gag and what is it for?

A ball gag is an accessory used to restrain speech. It consists of a ball placed in the mouth and straps that secure it to the head. This makes normal communication impossible; so when using a ball gag, any attempts to speak turn into muffled sounds. Therefore, such an accessory is suitable for those who want to try something unusual and add new forms of interaction to the relationship.
