There are many motives to submit a person in a state of sensory deprivation, which includes sharpen memory, and thinking, or meditation ability, increasing body awareness or the increased use of the non-deprived senses, interrogation, brainwashing, torture, inducing psychedelic effects, and addiction treatment.
You’ll find various techniques to establish sensory deprivation, such as the use blindfolds, hoods, dark chambers, flotation tanks, earplugs, headphones, or earmuffs.
In BDSM, kink, and fetish practices, sensory deprivation is a much-used practice and part of Sensation Play. Typically, it’s the submissive person (aka the sub) who will be deprived of one or more of their senses, often either sight or hearing, or both.
Doing so makes the sub feel helpless, while needing to render control to the dominant party, but it also makes their other senses, like touch/feeling, more sensitive to stimuli such as feathers, ice, sex toys, massage, floggers, hot wax, which can strongly increase the sensual erotic and sexual pleasure experience.

If a sub still has their sense of hearing and smell (only being blindfolded, for instance), they may focus on the dominant’s voice, or alternatively on the odor of scented candles or dominant’s body odor, and whatnot. Taste may also become a heightened experience if the dominant would engage in Food Play with the sub.
Moreover, in combination with Bondage Play, the sub will be restrained in moving away, or using their hands or other body parts to feel or touch the dominant or the devices being used, hence making the sensory experience even more intense.
In any case, sensory deprivation in BDSM practices is usually not an isolated activity, but typically combined with other elements of Sensation Play, with Bondage Play, massage, body worship, Sexual Denial Play, Fantasy and Roleplay, and/or Breath Control Play, and so on.
