Sensory deprivation is an amazing experience. That said, I am not claustrophobic but I do suffer panic attacks - but I have never had an attack during a SD scene. I believe that is because I know and understand that the person I am with has control of the situation and control of me. I find it very enlightening to discover what triggers certain responses. I enjoy visual deprivation its fantastic - yet when combined with audio deprivation - thats the one that places me most on 'edge' than anything else (especially with my synaesthesia as it is like losing a 'best friend') and I am always amazed at how my body responds. It is amazing how more responsive the entire body becomes when one loses a sense. I do become slightly disorientated when I lose the synaesthesic ability and that can be quite distressing if not handled carefully, but sofar, I havent really become hurt - but its more like experiencing a mourning period - if that makes sense. Sight, hearing etc - I realised I just take for granted - losing the syn however is like losing an internal part of me. I dont find SD to be 'freeing' like bondage effects me - in fact I find the opposite. Breath control I do not associate with SD - I see that as a different aspect of BDSM. Hoods come in so many forms - I have never been a fan of complete hooding with breath control - and not tried that as yet, although I would be intrigued to experiment. Peace and Rapture
