There has been much debate in the sex-positive community about whether blindfolds are kinky or not. The simple answer, they can be both kinky and not kinky. Sensual touch and the basics of what some would consider BDSM can be done, or more vanilla sex is also an option. That said, vanilla sex can be completely amazing. People who do BDSM sometimes find a special spice in more vanilla sex. Blindfolds have a wide range of uses. 

Many people use them for sensual sexual fun. You can feed sweets and delicious foods, and your partner can playfully guess what they are, as an example. Blindfolds can also be used with other sensual activities, such as scratches, kisses, licks, and light touches. By eliminating the predictability your eyes can bring, sensations and touches seem much more spontaneous overall. This can add to the excitement. Slowly tease the other person with your fingers and your lips, and then move towards the more erogenous zones.

People have many erogenous zones on their bodies, including the ones more people are aware of. This includes nipples, necks, lips, and genitals. There are more unique areas that are less well known, including underneath the breasts, the earlobes, a person’s feet, and more. Utilizing these areas and others, you can get your partner wet or hard from the sensations.

Blindfolds can also be utilized for a fantastic surprise, like a romantic candlelit bath and wash. People also combine blindfolds with handcuffs, rope, and many other implements.

Outside of this, one creative idea relates to pornography. If there are videos your partner likes, you can put the audio of one such video on so they can hear the moans and sexual activity in the video while you are pleasuring them or the two of you are having sex. This can add another level of focus, when the blindfolded person is distracted by the audio pornography, their mind jumps back and forth, creating, for many, more intense sensations.
