The first thing I need to say is I’ve always been a kink. Since I can remember I’ve been into bondage scenarios. This is not a “pubescent” discovery, but from when I was a very small boy. My favourite toys as a kid were police sets, because they had handcuffs in them!
But I also had an overbite as big as Musk’s bank account. I always knew I was going to get braces, it was never a surprise for me. That finally happened when I was 12. Got a massive set of full bands along with a cervical headgear, and hated every frigging second of it.
At least, at first. As I grew older, and I could start thinking for myself, things gradually started changing. I stopped seeing my braces as “medical device” and started seeing it as “bondage device”. What’s the difference between unable to remove a set of handcuffs and unable to remove your braces? Emotionally: none!
But it wasn’t really “special” – lots of kids at school had them. I was just one of several dozen.
The headgear, however, was special, and it brought in an interesting dynamic. Can I remove the headgear? Yes. Its not permanently attached like my braces. Do I want to remove the headgear? Absolutely. It’s a crappy thing to have to wear. I was not friends with the headgear. At all. I got into a lot of trouble for not wearing it nearly enough as I should.
But I had this aunt, you see, and she was rather… interesting. Can I remove it? Yes. Do I want to remove it? Yes. Am I ALLOWED to remove it? ‘Over my dead body’. She got hold of me and read me the riot act. This brought in an aspect of “Discipline” that wasn’t there before, and I quite enjoyed that part of things. It takes a lot of guts to keep that thing strapped to one’s face when you do not want to. And to do so all day, every day. I liked that – it felt like I was doing something worthwhile. I liked the obedience, and the threats of punishments and rewards. The accountability. To sit through the pain and humiliation and deal with it simply because if I remove it without permission, there would be hell to pay.
When I got my second – and third – set of braces later in life and they told me headgear would not be needed, I was quite disappointed.
But as a kink, I prefer my bondage on others, not (necessarily) on myself. I don’t mind being the one bound, but much prefer it on others. I’d much rather have a pretty girl in handcuffs or ropes than be the one in it. And that extends to my braces kink, too.
I won’t mind a headgear session if I could have it the way when I was 16, but that’s a fantasy now. But I’d frigging LOVE it if I can experience that headgear fantasy on someone else.
