Last trip on the boat with SF she surprised me with a full face mask complete with Velcro covers for eyes and mouth. http://www.zity.biz/index.php?mx=album;ox=showitem;c=3795;id=70860;sort=date;sorto=DESC She knows full well I do not like giving up control to that extent. In effect blindfolded in that very tight hood and my hands cuffed to my sides caused the panic to rapidly build.
Now folks that know me well, also realize I do not panic in outrageous situations. I have been involved with aircraft engine failures at altitude, lost control of airplanes during airshows, been shot at by enemy missiles and crashed at an airshow. Never panicked just controlled the situation to conclusion and survived along with passengers & crew.
That said, with the tight hood strapped to my head my hands tied to my sides & when the covers were placed over my eyes I could feel REAL panic setting in, rapid heartbeat, almost uncontrollable breathing . My hands jerked at the harness and cuffs trying to get to the mask to pull it off when I heard a smooth, calming voice, nonchalantly saying slow down, deep breaths, relax, enjoy, feel my hands holding you, relax. I have never really felt such exhilaration by being restrained and denied senses and use of my hands.
Long story short, I would do it again and hope to feel the same panic once more...
Now that is a real, certified nut case.
Nurse!!!!! Time for more meds....and an enema for everyone.
