What is Gag?
{{nosources|date=December 2021}} {{otheruses}} [[File:Ferrachu. Ball gag.jpg|thumb|Typical ball gag]] A '''gag''' is any thing used to stop a person from speaking. This is done by blocking or muffling the person's mouth and making it difficult for them to move their jaw and tongue in a normal way. Gags are very commonly seen in [[BDSM]] and [[bondage]] fantasy. Many different items can be used, ranging from a hand simply clamped over the victim's mouth, to a scarf tied between the jaws, to adhesive tape placed over the mouth and face to seal the lips. There are also many kinds of specially-made gags, which usually strap around or behind the head. Special gags of that kind are usually made from [[leather]] or [[rubber]]. In real life it is quite difficult to gag a person in such a way that their speech cannot be understood at all, and it is almost impossible to prevent a gagged person from making some kind of sound. It is also a risk to the person's safety, as the more tightly and securely someone is gagged, the greater the risk that they will choke or suffocate. [[Category:BDSM]]
