when they block the wearer’s vision and to gags when they cover the mouth and
potentially limit the wearer’s ability to speak or breathe. Additionally, since
some hood designs require the hood to be secured below the wearer’s chin or
around his neck, there could be some risk of accidental strangulation. As
always, continuously monitoring the wearer’s well-being and psychological state
will serve to minimize the risks.
Vibration & Oscillation
Vibration and oscillation toys can basically be summed up in a single word:
vibrators. The various types of vibrators used in BDSM play do not differ in
any significant way from the ones used in vanilla sex play. Generally speaking,
the only real difference will be in the ways that they are used. When you add
bondage, discipline, and sadomasochism to the mix, even simple vibrators can

Rather than slog through the thousands of types of portable vibrators of both the
battery-operated and corded varieties readily available in the marketplace, we’ll

Magic Wand and the Abco Sybian, and some ideas for a couple of home-made
oscillation toys.
The Hitachi Magic Wand, for many, has become the holy grail of hand-held
personal vibrators since being introduced in the U.S. in the mid-1970s. It is a
corded device which is marketed primarily as a “massager”, but has become so

both vanilla and kink users, and it can be seen with increasing frequency in
BDSM photography and porn, most often in bondage or forced orgasm scenes.
It’s powerful motor, rubberized head, adjustable speeds, and sleek design not
only puts it at the top of the list in terms of functionality, but it can be used in
hands-free mode by sitting on it or by integrating it into your bondage, and it is
generally considered to be almost as good at inducing orgasms for men as it is
for women. Comedienne Roseanne Barr is reported to have once quipped,
“Hitachi makes such good vibrators, I think I’ll buy one of their TVs!” The
Hitachi Magic Wand retails for $50 to $70.
The Abco Sybian, often referred to simply as a Sybian or Sybian Saddle, is a
