I have just run a search to see if there has been a discussion here before about blindfolds. Apparently there has not.
I have begun to use a blindfold in my sessions. It is an attempt to deal with my problem of clenching when the good sensations arrive; this clenching involves holding my eyes very tightly shut. My blindfold is nothing fancy. I picked it up in an airport store for a couple of bucks. I see you can also get blindfolds on Ebay for a buck.
My thinking was that this would be a temporary measure once I got out of the habit of clenching. However, the blindfold seems to have been stimulating very pleasant dreamlike or hallucinatory experiences.
La, tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté,
Luxe, calme, et volupté.
There, there is nothing else but grace and measure,
Richness, quietness, and pleasure.
And if this continues, I am going to keep the blindfold on.
When I'm fortunate enough to have strong p waves/orgasm ( newbie ) I see many colors when I close my eyes. Not sure what that means but it's enjoyable.

I have gotten that from day one. When I get strong p waves or an orgasm I see various colors of light with my eyes closed. I have to agree with you that it is most enjoyable
Going to try blindfold this weekend. We'll see.

You're correct, there hasn't been much discussion about use of blindfolds, though the WIKI does reference an Eye Mask. As a tool to help you reduce distractions and help you focus internally. It can be quite effective for some men.

Any tool which helps get you into an optimal mind state should be considered beneficial and certainly if a blindfold does that for you then by all means employ it. The use of blindfolds are one aspect of a sensory deprivation technique, allowing the mind to focus mental energy on other aspects of consciousness. This is an altered state of consciousness which may generate spontaneous mental images, even hallucinations, to compensate for default mode network expected sensory input. This is known as the Ganzfeld effect and is pretty common.
Good Vibes to You !
