Sensory Deprivation Agreement
A negotiated sensory-deprivation agreement
This agreement sets out the terms of consensual sensory-deprivation play between the two adults named below. Both enter into it freely, of their own choice, and of sound mind. It is a communication tool, not a legally binding contract, and it does not remove anyone's right to stop at any time.
Never restrict breathing. Any hood, mask, or gag must leave the airway completely clear at all times. The Top stays present throughout — never leave the bottom alone while their senses are limited. Restore senses gradually at the end of the scene. Stop immediately on the safe word, stop word, or any distress signal — no exceptions.
- The parties agree which senses are limited (sight, sound, touch) and the tools used (blindfold, hood, earplugs, headphones), and for how long.
- Breathing is never restricted. Any hood leaves the airway completely clear.
- Anything not discussed and agreed is out of scope.
- Frequent reassurance. The Top stays present and checks in regularly by touch and voice.
- A way to communicate. The agreed non-verbal signal, safe word, and stop word all end the scene instantly.
- If it gets to be too much. Disorientation or panic is met by restoring a sense at a time, calmly, and stopping if needed.
- Aftercare. Senses are returned gradually, with time afterward to reconnect.
Consent is enthusiastic, informed, and ongoing. Because deprivation can be disorienting, the parties agree a non-verbal signal alongside the safe word and stop word below, and the Top checks in often by touch and voice so the bottom is never left feeling abandoned.
- Neither party will take part while impaired by alcohol or drugs to a degree that affects judgment or the ability to consent.
- Each party will share any relevant health information — injuries, conditions, triggers — that could affect safety.
- The safe word and stop word are honoured instantly. Using them is never punished and never held against the person who used them.
This agreement is valid from and continues until either party revokes it.
Either party may revoke this agreement at any time, for any reason, by . Withdrawal of consent ends the dynamic immediately and is always respected.
