The Mistress may restrict the submissive partner's speech from time to time or whenever certain circumstances arise.Since speech is an important part of what makes us human and separates us from animals, limiting or removing this function can be frustrating and degrading to human dignity. For this reason, I use speech restriction to punish, humiliate, or reinforce influential BDSM sessions.Limited speech submissives may feel helpless, vulnerable, and “more submissive”. This may help them reach subspace or enter this phase faster or deeper than other submissives. Some submissives may enjoy the feelings of speech limitation, while others may find it unpleasantly overwhelming. The response to speech restriction is likely to be related to the degree of restriction placed on the submissives.
