What is a ball gag?
Very commonly found in a wide variety of smut, a ball gag is a BDSM (Specifically bondage) implement that is used to encourage silence in a submissive or bottom. Ball gags are identifiable by some manner of, well, ball attached to a strap or harness designed to hold said ball in between the bottom’s teeth (At the front of the mouth) or behind the teeth in the middle of the mouth. Attachment/strap/harness styles, ball sizes, ball colors, ball materials, and the like all vary considerably, depending on what the erstwhile dominant or top is looking for, and what the bottom can tolerate. A ball gag will not silence a bottom. If air can pass through the nose, the larynx can work its magic and sound will be produced. They are mostly to serve as a reminder to shut up, function as a sensation toy, or prevent intelligible speech.
