Mummification
Updated:Mummification is an extreme form of bondage within BDSM practices where one partner (the "mummy") is wrapped tightly from head to toe in materials such as plastic wrap, duct tape, or bandages. This practice creates a sensation of total immobilization and often sensory deprivation for the person being mummified.
Additional Information
Mummification is considered edge play due to its intensity and potential risks. It requires a high level of trust between partners and extensive knowledge of safety precautions. The practice can induce a range of sensations and psychological states, from relaxation to intense arousal or even altered consciousness. Proper breathing, circulation monitoring, and temperature regulation are crucial safety considerations.
Examples
Using plastic wrap to completely encase a partner's body, leaving only the nose exposed for breathing
Incorporating mummification into a sensory deprivation scene by using opaque materials and earplugs
It's essential to note that mummification should only be practiced by experienced individuals who have thoroughly researched safety protocols and have a trusted partner. Always have safety shears readily available and never leave a mummified person unattended. As with all BDSM activities, clear communication, consent, and the use of safe words are paramount.
