I love sensory deprivation while masturbating. The blindfold and earplugs cut me off from whoever may be out there, and the candle burning sets the scene scentwise. I've done the blindfold thing during sex once, but never did the earplugs too. I think that would be great to try, but I wonder if it would drive me crazy not being able to hear the moans of pleasure.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
