The practice of reducing or eliminating one or more of a partner's senses during a scene, typically sight, hearing, or touch. Common tools include blindfolds, hoods, earplugs, and bondage. Removing a sense heightens the remaining ones and creates a state of increased dependence on and awareness of the dominant partner. Often used alongside bondage or other forms of play rather than as a standalone activity.
