1 - Do you generally prefer consensual sockgags or non-consensual ones?
Non-consensual definitely, but with some consensual undertones.
2 - Do you have a preference for the colour and type of sock used? (ex: tube, ankle, crew) If so, please specify.
Plain white sport socks and black business/dress socks are both nice options in their own settings, sport socks are maybe hotter because of the implied sweatiness.
3 - Do you generally find yourself enjoying stories that feature photo(s) of the socks being used a gags?
Absolutely, it greatly adds to the story. It's much easier to imagine in what state the sock is in, and the severity of the gag. With good photo's you can almost smell and taste them.
4 - On a scale of 1-10 (1=clean sock, 10=putrid sock) rate your preference for the cleanliness of sockgags.
In stories 6-8, IRL I don't know exactly but probably around 6-7?
5 - Does the sock's wearer have any influence on how turned on/excited you are by a sockgag?
Oh yes, it does. Very hot, charming and dominant wearers greatly add to the excitement of a gag. Distant and dominant can also be exciting, but when it tips into resentment that excitement is gone instantaneously.
6 - Are sockgags being overused in stories here? Have they lost some of their appeal? Be honest.
Not in the stories I've read so far, and those heavily used them. They're practical, almost always around, imbue the wearer in a very personal way, and are (often) humiliating for the sub. Professional, crafted gags and muzzles are very exciting too, but there is something primal about sockgags. As long as they are used purposefully and with focus on experience, taste, feelings, etc, they are fine to use. A simple 'he gagged me with his socks' becomes boring after a while.
7 - Choose your THREE favourite sockgag-related scenarios:
Victim is gagged with a rival's sock
Victim is gagged with his friend's older brother's sock
Victim is gagged with his roommate's sock
Quite similar to my answers in the Bondage Scenario poll.
8 - Now go over the list again, and this time choose the THREE options that you think would be the most HUMILIATING for the victim? Keep in mind, these are not necessarily your favourites.
Victim is gagged with his older brother's sock
Victim is gagged with an anonymous/unknown guy's sock
Victim is gagged with a rival's sock
Anonymous is most humiliating I think, it could be anyone then. The victim is so low in status at that point, that they are not even given the name of the one whose sock is keeping them from making noises. The other ones have more possible long-term status/reputation effects, a rival is never going to forget that they could make the victim suck on their socks, same with older brother.
Bonus question:
Both scenario B/C are most enjoyable, if the characters the sock is from (in scenario C) are known and have been shown in the story, or hinted at enough. Sockgags from referenced characters that have not been shown are not that interesting to me, but if they are anonymous sockgags, the fact that it could be anyone's sock does add to the excitement. I didn't know I was that specific about sockgags
