Gag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (162 words)
A gag is usually a device designed to prevent speech, often as a restraint device to stop the subject from calling for help.
This is usually done by blocking the mouth, partially or completely, or trying to prevent the tongue, lips, or jaw from moving in the normal patterns of speech, and to make the subject unable to make a loud vocal noise.
Gags are sometimes also used in the context of some consensual BDSM activities: for the use of gags in a BDSM context, see gag (BDSM).
