A bondage hood (also called a gimp mask or bondage mask) is a fetishistic hood. [1] [2] It may be made from rubber, latex, PVC, spandex, darlexx or leather. Full-faced hoods are typically used for the practice of head bondage, and to restrain and objectify the wearer through depersonalization, [3] disorientation and/or sensory deprivation. [2]
The use of bondage hoods can be hazardous if breathing is impeded. [2]
Bondage hoods are frequently referenced in popular culture, [4] most notably in the film Pulp Fiction . [5]
