Inhibitor -> Isolation/Sensory Dep. Tanks (8/7/2006 2:18:59 AM)
My appologies if this has been hashed out here before and my searching skills are less than stellar. Sensory deprivation is a strong interest of mine, and I've long wondered about how a "floating" or "isolation" tank might be employed within the sphere of bdsm (if unfamiliar with the apparatus, check http://www.samadhitank.com/index.html#FloatationTankDescription). Seeing as a total lack of physical stimuli occurs while you're inside these, I'd think much could be done with the mental/psychological aspects of a D/s relationship, or even just a scene..."voice of G*d" kinda thing (many models also allow for external control of sound, water temperature, and so on). I also wonder about the relative sanity of a scenario in which someone would be repeatedly placed in a tank and pulled out to recieve intense physical stimulation in revolutions. Does anyone here have experience with this? Any thoughts on its potential to cross a dangerous threshold and "break" someone?

Interesting idea.

It sounds too dangerous for my tastes, the human mind is just to fragile to play such games with. ~Lashra

Sounds dicey...but also delicious. Bathroom breaks (and general communication) might pose a challenge however. If I get to sing while in the tank, let me know if you need a test subject.

For me personally the answer is no. I don't think a tank would be able to break me. When I've done the flotation tanks I just fall asleep. I'm one who wakes up alert and ready to move too. I'm sure for some people this indeed could be a completely different experience than mine & may be a powerful thing for them. For myself it would just be a boaring thing much like scrubbing the floors is. I'd do it if it pleased one I submitted to, but it would be for him & not really for me.

It's a good idea to procede with great caution when toying with the human mind. Off topic a little, it's always something that bothers me to hear people talking about "training," when they have yet to train a well behaved dog.

'Cause I'm not seeing a single instance of the word "training" anywhere above. I sense that I might've been misunderstood, so please clarify for me, if you will, Kennel.
