Hmm, ball gags – so many potential jokes, so very little skill at humor to make them. I thought I’d give them a try for so many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that I am a very loud lover and thought this might be a new sexier way of keeping the neighbors from calling the cops or scaring the blue bejesus out of my cat.

In practice it was a whole different story. Having a ball gag in means a lot more than volume control, it also means you can’t lick, bite or swallow anything but gag which leaves a huge amount of play in your lovers hands alone. It’s a remarkably humbling experience not being able to give back half as much as you get, you also have to trust your partner to know what you like and that they’ll go that extra mile without you asking them to verbally or you’re going to have a pretty terrible time unless the gag alone happens to be your fetish.

I didn’t find breathing particularly difficult but moaning, panting and screams of pleasure are a whole new affair. Not so much because you can’t make these noises but more because you’re in constant risk of drowning if you do. You start to pool a really large amount of saliva the second you slip the gag on, pretty much unconciously. So when the moment comes to vocalize, you find your mouth is flooded with liquid all ready, liquid that’s eager to slip down the wrong pipe causing coughing or choking with ball gag firmly strapped into mouth and lover between thighs – of course you can avoid choking on your own spittle easily enough by one of two methods. If you’re adept, you might be able to swallow the spit with gag in place, clearing your mouth and allowing for a little less of a drowning hazard. Or, you can drool – pushing out seeming rivers of thick spit when you’re trying your hardest to be your hottest.

If you get around the spit problem you can still make pretty loud if inarticulate noises. The gag is mildly responsive to your jaws but not nearly enough so that you can form anything like words, just formless vowel sounds. So it won’t actually cut down on your noise levels if you’re a determined screamer.

The ball is silicone and removable, which is essential because that thing needs cleaned when you’re done like no one’s business. But the bit that the ball attaches to – now that is some kind of nylon horror. The edges were melted bits of plastic that cut into the mouth and cheeks something awful and actually caused me more discomfort than the ball itself. Hard and uncomfortable, it didn’t conform to my face at all, cutting across my checks and digging into my jaw so it ended up looking like I’d bought a bit gag for pony play instead of a ball gag. Very uncomfortable. The good news is that since this part is detachable so you can get to and remove the ball, you can turn it inside out or remove it entirely and replace it with damned near anything else that isn’t as uncomfortable.

All in all Spartacus’ Ball Gag was an interesting toy that put a new dynamic on my usual sexual play but I’d recommend splurging for a more expensive model with a nice double stitched leather bit.
