By taking away my sight, I was left to rely solely on sound, touch, taste and smell, and had to learn to ‘see’ with my other senses.

This allowed me to experience a whole new range of sensations and feelings. And that made for some fantastic sex.

How can such a simple trick have such an overwhelming effect?

Well, in addition to sharpening your other senses, there’s also the element of sexual anticipation: you just don’t know what to expect. And then a soft whisper or a light movement of his fingertips over the inside of your thighs is enough to set your body on fire. A blindfold also appeals to the imagination. Without any visual distractions, it’s much easier to lose yourself in your sexual fantasies. Are you ashamed of your body or shy? With a blindfold, you have far fewer inhibitions

… And last but not least: you look damn sexy with that blindfold on! Just look at Kim Basinger in 9 ½ weeks …
