Gas mask
Some people fetishize gas masks. Use of gas masks may be appealing to those with a rubber fetish, or to those with erotic objectification fantasies that enjoy the dehumanized appearance of a person wearing a gas mask.
Rubberists like to wear gas masks because they are made of soft latex rubber and also because they are strapped onto the face. Gas mask sexual fetish is often combined with the use of other sexual latex devices like latex suits.
Gas masks, often worn in connection with rubber fetishism or military fetishism, may be a fetish fashion accessory or be used in the sexual restriction of breathing (breath control, often regarded as a form of edgeplay). The later, being potentially dangerous, requires complete trust in a partner and should never be undertaken alone. In the former case, the gas mask is sometimes used to complete a transformation or objectification, but may also form part of a total enclosure fetish. Gas maks and the air hoses occaisonally fitted to them can also be used to administer Nitrite inhalants (Poppers).
The eye covers may be blacked out to act as a blindfold, or there may be a blindfold under the mask, to increase the sense of total enclosure. Sometimes gas masks are also modified to include a gag.
As well as standard military and civilian masks, a number of companies are selling custom made gas masks designed purely for BDSM play.
