1. I love masks; especially when my partners use them. There's also something super hot about making characters/personas for each mask over time (which I think most people naturally develop based on how the mask makes them feel). It's really fun to be able to have a desire for a certain kind of scene and present a partner with that mask when you want to play.

It also gives a special kind of psychological dynamic when you're set up to play, maybe kneeling on the floor facing away from the door for a scene and then you see a particularly sadistic/mischievous/insidious persona's mask on when they finally let you see their face. It can really send shivers down your spine in a very fun way.

I also have a straight-up secondary fetish for femme masquerade masks & cateye superhero masks so that adds a LOT to the experience for me too.

1. I prefer tricks. As a brat myself and as someone that has had way too much of their value weighted onto their intelligence I associate it a lot with my power. As a result: being able to be made vulnerable, deceived, tricked, or just intellectually bested in some way - even a small one - really gets me feeling submissive and helpless. Since my most core fetish (really my only primary fetish) is power exchange it sets me off even more than any "treat."

I'd even go as far as to say that while in the moment it's crushing and can really set off the whiny, crying, hurt, and mentally defeated bratty side of me being convinced that I'm going to get something (orgasm, masochistic play I love, affection, treats, relief, &c) and then having it revealed that thanks to some tiny technicality that I missed (probably due to arousal, excitement, and hope) it's being denied is something that I'd much rather have happen than actually getting what I desire. I'm a true denial slut and I'm 100% aware that I'll hate it when it's happening; but at the same time I'll be really disappointed I was allowed to get that reward later.

I'm not saying I want to be denied every time (that just kills the hope & expectation that I'll get what I want and destroys the emotional tempest the denial creates), just that if I'm truly honest with myself I'd rather be deceived, tricked, played, fucked with, and denied 95% of the time and never allowed to know how evil the next time will be - or when it's coming.

1. I actually did a kinky & bound bobbing for apples game at a party once. They used ice cold hose water and it was freezing out so we really got chilly! I won, but also slightly waterboarded myself in the process.
