What is a Gimp? I was asked this seemingly simple question and I found myself at a bit of a loss at first. For years I have wanted to be and identify as a gimp, so I was a bit taken aback when I realized I couldn’t verbalize what I wanted. It’s a bit like when the supreme court was trying to define porn, to paraphrase badly: “I can’t define it but I know it when I see it.” So for years I was operating under that mentality I don’t know what I identify as, but when I see it or feel it I know it. So I’m going to attempt to make a definition for gimp. I want to add that this certainly varies person to person and this is mostly a personal exercise for figuring out what I want and what I am.
So for me, a gimp is a submissive object that submits completely to its owner, however, this is a fairly simplistic statement and it’s much more nuanced and specific for me. Being a gimp at its core is about separating from humanity and individualism and embracing being an object. When in ‘gimp mode’ the gimp should be treated as an object, a thing, just something to be used and be stored away when not needed. Additionally, gimps leave all trappings of its identity behind; it exists to be just another thing the Dom/Owner has access to. It’s hard to explain to someone but putting on my rubber suit and mask so all that shows is my shiny second skin is freeing. It frees me to leave my humanity behind and accept whats in store and helps the Dom to stop seeing the human and start seeing an object. The other benefit of the gimp being completely covered is that gimps when covered look the same essentially. Granted there are some minor differences (height, weight, etc.) but for the most part, gimps could be interchangeable. Thus the gimp is not a specific person to the Dom/owner the gimp is an object the serves. Like if you were to picture a loaf of bread, I doubt a specific loaf of bread comes to mind. You maybe picturing a type like wheat, white, or sourdough, but you aren’t picturing one loaf in particular and that’s precisely what I feel about gimps. Part of the turn on for me is a gimp is a gimp is a gimp, easily replaced, interchangeable; a gimp is not a specific thing that’s the essence of what I mean by deindividualized.
Gimps are treated harshly. Part of removing the humanity and being covered and deindividualized is that it allows the Dom to stop seeing the gimp as a person and treat them more as an object. Gimps are also completely controlled; this is a major part of it for me. Slaves maybe completely controlled at times but a gimp is utterly and completely controlled every facet of its life is controlled by the Dom. Sight, hearing, speaking, movement, sleep, eating, urination all controlled by the Dom. Any sensory input or a minor bit of freedom is granted by the Dom and can be revoked at any point and for gimps, these periods of freedom and privilege are few and far between; the gimp lives and thrives in isolation and control. Slaves may experience these situations at some point but what separates them from gimps is that bondage, isolation, and objectification are not a slaves default state.
A gimps life consists of storage and pain. A gimp spends the majority of its time waiting to be used. It exists solely for the whims of its Owner. When the owner isn’t using it the gimp would be stored out of the way, in a cage, tied in a closet, or placed in the corner. Gimps should be used in sadistic ways; gimps exist to be tortured and used. This dichotomy of storage and pain creates in the gimp a profound gratefulness for any attention given to it. After being stored for long periods, gimp would be excited for any use at all even the most painful and kinky uses and after being used harshly gimp may be desperate or excited to return to storage.
The life of a gimp is hard, painful, and boring at times but that’s what excites me. I want to be that devoted and feel that control. I doubt this high level of control could be maintained for a long period I’m sure people have tried and I’m sure a few have succeeded in living the 24/7 gimp lifestyle in some fashion, however, I doubt many gimps really want to live like that 24/7 (not to mention the amount of effort and responsibility this places on the Dom). Personally, as much as identity as a gimp, and crave this kind of treatment, I know I couldn’t handle months of being a gimp full time at this point in my life. But I do want to spend as much time in gimp mode as I can.
