Experimental mouthpiece, first test

The gag design for the story "The Return of the Paramour", is fiction, but meant to be "plausible", meaning that I think that it can be made. Three criterions in the story are: it is effective, it is (reasonably) comfortable, it causes no harm when worn for long periods. In an earlier experiment, I found that noise reduction with 20 dB is achievable. Recently, I made an experimental mouthpiece, to check it for comfort.


Despite its "rubber" appearance, it is made from stiff plastic (a material that I had lying around). When worn, the jaws are kept apart by roughly 40 mm.

Observations

  1. It seals the mouth pretty well. The shape of this experimental mouthpiece is not optimal; it fits, but does not fit well. With a better fit, the sealing effect will be better too.
  2. Little or no discomfort after one hour of wear. The test person said that after 30 minutes she started forgetting she had in in her mouth and that after 45 minutes she had to remind herself to not step outside the house to fetch the mail (while she had the mouthpiece still in). This is to be compared with the experience that the same lady has with wearing a 1 3/4 inch ballgag; she said that her jaw starts hurting after 30 to 45 minutes.
  3. Evening out tooth pressure works. When you have something in your mouth, there is an intrinsic reflex to bite on it. After wearing a ballgag for some time, you start to feel the teeth that bite on the ball. The goal of the mouthpiece is to even out the strain on the teeth by spreading it over all teeth. The test person said that she did not feel her teeth (as opposed to her experience with a ballgag).
  4. No drooling (well... not really). The test person drools on a ballgag. With the mouthpiece, her chin stayed dry. But when she took out the mouthpiece, it was followed by several spoonfuls of drool. She says that she had felt that there was some saliva in her mouth, but was unaware that it was that much.
  5. Swallowing is hard. The jaws are too far apart to make swallowing comfortable. That is probably the reason why the lady had so much saliva in her mouth.
  6. The shape is nearly symmetrical (for upper and lower jaw). However, a different shape for upper/lower jaw is a better design. The goal is to make the mouthpiece difficult to push out with your tongue. The test person removed the mouthpiece in three seconds (without using her hands).
  7. Jaw shapes and sizes differ. Gags for long-term wear must be custom fit (or in the very least be adjustable).

 Caveats

A 1-hour test by a single person does not say much. Swallowing must be addressed, otherwise a woman can choke in her own saliva.

Update

We checked where the mouthpiece pinched on the teeth or was too wide, and adjusted it by filing, cutting and polishing. The shape is now indeed (slightly) asymmetrical. It felt better right away. On the other hand, one push with the tongue and the mouthpiece pops out. The desing goal of "being difficult to remove without using your hands" is not realistic, hence.

The Return of the Paramour - second edition

I have reworked the story to improve the plot line. The new story has ten chapters. The eight chapters of the first edition have been adjusted to snap into the new plot line. What is the story anyway? The Return of the Paramour is illustrated fiction, on young women ("paramours") who are obligated to regularly have sex with their patron. They do so in bondage, because the old medieval laws on seigneurial privileges and bondswomen are no longer in effect and modern (contract) law is not binding enough. The link (single PDF file for all 10 chapters) The Return of the Paramour (full)   Synopsis 1. The paradox of freedom In which the narrator is captivated by a new kind of erotic roleplay, and offers his assistance to an adult video producer that focuses on this roleplay. 2. The legacy of paramours In which the narrator learns that the kinky roleplay is inspired by the new bondage toys of an earlier group, and that this earlier group was in turn inspired by a naughty pra

The Factory -- second edition

The Factory is an illustrated fictionnal story on bondage and sex. It is a follow-up to the story The Return of the Paramour . I initially published it in March 2021, and this is a revised version of the same story.   Download The Factory in PDF format. Warning : The story (still) contains depictions and descriptions of people drinking coffee. Why a second edition? After publishing the story, I received critiques on it, and those varied widely. However, many commenters remarked that the story had too much "world-building" and too little of the sexy stuff. In hindsight, I agree with that. That said, the story builds on the reasoning why there isn't anything wrong or immoral about sex slavery. The amount of world-building could not really be reduced by much, without breaking the story "logic". So instead, I expanded on the descriptions of the bondage. The story is now about a fifth longer. Another reason is that I was never happy with the ending, but at the time

The functions of a gag

What a gag tries to achieve is one or more of the following: disable communication enforce silence mark the wearer as submissive disable the use of teeth to grab or handle objects punishment or humiliation The fourth function is often forgotten, but it is rather important. For example, someone who is bound with rope or tape and gagged with a simple cleave gag, may be able to open a drawer in the kitchen and pick up a knife from it with her mouth, then wedge it in somewhere and use it to cut through her ties. Functions #3 and #5 may go hand-in-hand. Some gags are specifically designed to be uncomfortable and unflattering. Other gags look rather nice though, but they do not hide their purpose of gagging a person. So my take is that you can have function #3 without function #5. The gag "invented" for the story The Return of the Paramour aims at functions #1 through #4, but specifically not #5. The ball insert (3) deep in the mouth keeps the tongue down and blocks in
