Silence can be powerful — and in BDSM, it becomes its own form of communication. In this episode of The Kinky List by Skoob, host Zara Black goes deep into the psychology, safety, and emotion behind BDSM gag play.

We break down why gags feel so intense, how they shift control, what dominants and submissives experience, and the non-verbal communication that keeps scenes safe. You’ll learn about different gag types, real safety risks, medical considerations, and practical tips for adding gag play to your dynamic the smart way.

Whether you’re curious, experienced, or exploring kink for the first time, this episode gives you a grounded, judgment-free look at the psychology, the techniques, and the meaning behind gag play in BDSM.
