A type of bondage suit, also commonly called a gimp suit or gimpsuit, is a form-fitting garment designed to cover the body completely (usually including the hands and feet) for role-playing purposes.
The purpose of the hood, or mask, is to limit the human capacity for facial perception allowing the wearer to assume the consensually agreed upon role.
The purpose of the entire bondage suit is to temporarily alter the executive functions of all persons involved through perception.
The suit may be made from any material—leather, PVC, rubber, spandex, and darlexx are the most usual.
The role-playing gimp chooses the consensual role of a masturbatory sexual toy, doll, dummy, or automata, as opposed to a human sexual partner with characteristics of desire and agency, throughout the duration of the foreplay for mutually agreed upon amusement.
