For me, a cage is a means of reinforcing control (and trust), or a punishment. Some find cages to be comforting, as seen by the other comments. It is something strong, secure, and permanent. The psychology is that steel lasts, while mere flesh is human and ephemeral. That works for both comfort, and for punishment. For those that like cages, it is a means of reinforcing control by putting them in it, and it is a means of building trust because it does envoke that sense of permanence. It can play on the senses in different ways, from the feel of the steel to allowing some form of comfort (a towel, a stuffed animal, etc.) as an additional means of reinforcement. Mummification is fun, because it can be used for both sensory depravation and for sensory overload. A trick I learned years ago is to place cotton, wrap, or other material between all the fingers and toes, and wrap each limb sep. before doing a full body wrap. It makes an amazing difference that can take it to new levels because it denies even that small amount of contact. For sensory control and overload, wrap in place vibrators and such that can be remote controlled, or given my love for electrical play, plugs, pads, and clips. The person can't move, and that can take it to a new level of intensity, even at what would be low levels of normal play. If you do this, be sure to keep a means of checking on the person so that they don't get too overloaded.
