| − | A '''gimp mask''' or '''slave hood''' is an icon of [[BDSM]] imagery. Usually made from black [[leather]], it is close-fitting amd completely covers the head. The primary purpose of the [[hood]] is to [[objectification|objectify]] the wearer, to reduce them to the status of a sexual object rather than a person. Gimp masks share many qualities of [[bondage hood]]s and [[isolation hood]]s but tend to be simpler in construction and made from thinner leather as they do not need to deaden sound or provide secure anchorage points for [[bondage]]. Many designs of slave hood will have detachable [[blindfold]]s and mouth coverings; some will have zip openings for the mouth and eyes.
