Kink Spotlight: Mummification

Unfortunately, the star of the Mummy franchise Brendan Fraser is not among the guys pictured here. Except maybe he is. For obvious reasons, it's difficult to tell. When it comes to mummification, extreme bondage and sensory deprivation is the name of the game.

It's not a game, though. For doubly obvious reasons, this is not a kink for unexperienced people. Beyond the basic safe, sane, consensual requirements standard to ethical, respectful and positive BDSM, there are technical skills and myriad safeguards (including around breathing) needed to have successful mummification experiences.

From what I can tell, the budget required can be extreme as well. Though there is always a DIY element and sleeping bags can come into play, which won't necessarily break the bank, especially if there's a sale at a camping gear store.

Now among camping gear companies with a large social media presence, I'm betting none have posted about the use of their equipment in this kink. Nor have duct tape, plastic wrap and metal chain manufacturers.

Their loss.

No manufacturer makes the "CUNT" tape though. The top cut up and rearranged the letters of standard "CAUTION" tape. Word jumbles are fun.

My only experience with this one is briefly getting stuck in a sleeping bag when the zipper didn't work. The initial cozy feeling of being in a sleeping bag all night quickly morphed into whatever the opposite of a cozy feeling is, as in "get me the fuck out of here!" So I am definitely not a mummificatiophiliac.

Considering the proliferation of sensory deprivation float tanks, I can see the charm of that aspect. And certainly bondage, with its inherent trust connection, appeals to many. Ultimately it's a really strong hug. And hopefully the bottom gets one from the mummifier after they are finally released from bondage.
