A
Abasiophilia
A fetish involving sexual attraction to people who use leg braces, wheelchairs, or other mobility aids. A form of attraction to disability.
Abrasion Play
The use of rough or textured surfaces dragged across the skin as a form of sensation play. Sandpaper, rough fabric, or natural bristle brushes are commonly used to sensitise the skin, create warmth, or produce mild pain. Often used as a warm-up in impact play scenes.
Acomoclitism
A fetish for or strong preference for a partner with no pubic hair. Closely related to pubic hair shaving as part of submission or ownership dynamics.
Acousticophilia
Sexual arousal from specific sounds — including certain voices, particular tones, music, or environmental sounds. Can overlap with narratophilia (arousal from obscene words) and ASMR-adjacent sensory experiences.
Acrotomophilia
Sexual attraction to amputees. The attraction is typically to the amputation or residual limb itself rather than to the person's disability more broadly. Related to but distinct from devoteeism (attraction to disability generally).
Actirasty
Sexual arousal from exposure to the sun or sunlight. One of the rarer environmental fetishes.
Acucullophilia
Sexual attraction to or arousal from circumcised genitals specifically.
Adult Baby / Diaper Lover (ABDL)
A kink encompassing the wearing of diapers, taking on infant or baby personas, and/or engaging in infantile behaviours as part of a dynamic or solo practice. Adult babies focus on the persona and regression; diaper lovers may focus specifically on the garment. ABDL is not always sexual — for many participants it is primarily comfort-driven. Falls within the broader CGL and Littles community. See also: Age Play, Littles, DDLG.
Aftercare
The period of care, reconnection, and emotional grounding that follows a BDSM scene or play session. Aftercare can include physical comfort, reassurance, hydration, gentle touch, blankets, or quiet time as both partners return to everyday headspace. Considered an essential part of responsible BDSM practice by the community. Both Dominants and submissives may need aftercare. The form it takes varies significantly between individuals, dynamics, and scenes.
Age Play
Consensual roleplay in which one or more adults adopts a persona of a different age — typically younger. Encompasses DDLG, DDLB, MDLG, and ABDL dynamics. All participants are consenting adults. The childlike persona is adult roleplay with no connection to real minors. Ranges from non-sexual nurturing dynamics to explicitly erotic power exchange.
Agalmatophilia
Sexual attraction to statues, mannequins, dolls, or representations of the human form in inanimate objects. Related to objectophilia and dollophilia. Can involve arousal from the idealised human form, immobility, or the sense of control over an unresponsive figure.
Agrexophilia
Sexual arousal from knowing that one's sexual activities are being overheard or observed by others. Related to exhibitionism but focused specifically on the knowledge of being heard rather than seen.
Algolagnia
Sexual pleasure derived from pain, particularly involving erogenous zones. Differs from masochism in that algolagnia refers specifically to the physical sensation of pain as the source of pleasure, rather than the psychological dimension of suffering or humiliation.
Alt-Sex
Abbreviation for alternative sexuality. A broad umbrella covering BDSM, kink, fetish, polyamory, swinging, and any sexual practice or identity outside mainstream conventions.
Amaurophilia
Sexual arousal from being unable to see — typically through blindfolding, sensory deprivation, or complete darkness. The loss of sight heightens other senses and creates vulnerability and dependence on a partner. Common in sensory deprivation play.
Amelotasis
Sexual attraction to people with limb deformities or malformations. Related to acrotomophilia and attraction to disability.
Amychophilia
Sexual arousal from scratching or being scratched. A mild form of sensation play that sits between erotic touch and pain play.
Andromimetophilia
Sexual attraction to transgender men or to women presenting in a masculine way.
Anilingus / Rimming
Oral stimulation of the anus. Also called rimming or a rim job. A common sexual practice across genders and orientations and a significant part of gay male sexual culture.
Anililagnia
Sexual attraction by younger men to older women. Related to gerontophilia but specifically male-younger to female-older attraction.
Animal Play / Pet Play
A form of BDSM roleplay in which a participant takes on the persona, behaviour, and headspace of a non-human animal. Common forms include pup play (dog), kitten play (cat), pony play (horse), and fox play. May involve gear such as hoods, ears, tails, and collars. Can be purely social, psychological, or erotic depending on the participants. See also: Pup Play.
Antholagnia
Sexual arousal from flowers or their scent. An uncommon sensory fetish with overlap with olfactophilia.
Apotemnophilia
Sexual arousal from the idea of being an amputee oneself — distinct from acrotomophilia, which is attraction to amputees in others. A rare and complex paraphilia that can overlap with body integrity identity disorder.
Aquaphilia
Sexual arousal from water, swimming, or aquatic settings. Can include arousal from watching people swim, being submerged, or sexual activity in water.
Armpit Fetishism / Maschalagnia
Sexual arousal from armpits — their appearance, scent, or contact. One of the more common body-part fetishes, closely related to olfactophilia when the scent is the primary draw.
Asphyxiophilia
Sexual arousal from asphyxiation or the restriction of breathing — either applied to oneself or a partner. The medical term for what the kink community calls breath play or erotic asphyxiation. One of the highest-risk activities in BDSM due to the potential for permanent injury or death. See also: Breath Play, Edge Play.
Autagonistophilia
Sexual arousal from being on stage, on camera, or in a performance setting. Related to exhibitionism but specifically focused on the theatrical or recorded context.
Autassassinophilia
Sexual arousal from being in a life-threatening situation or from the risk of being killed. An extreme edge play paraphilia. The fantasy element is far more common than any real-world practice.
Autogynephilia
Sexual arousal in a male-assigned person from imagining themselves as a woman. Related to sissification and feminisation kinks. Distinction should be made between this as a paraphilia and transgender identity, which are separate phenomena.
Autonepiophilia
Sexual arousal from imagining oneself in the form of an infant or being treated as one. The paraphilic term for what is commonly called adult baby roleplay or ABDL.
B
BDSM
A portmanteau acronym covering Bondage and Discipline (B/D), Dominance and Submission (D/s), and Sadism and Masochism (S/M). Used as a broad umbrella for all consensual power exchange and kink practices. BDSM is a community, a lifestyle, a culture, and for many, a core part of identity as much as a set of sexual practices.
Belly Fetishism / Alvinolagnia
Sexual arousal from the midriff, stomach, or belly area. Can include attraction to the bare stomach, soft belly, or the navel specifically.
Biastophilia
Sexual arousal from the idea of rape or sexual assault — almost always in the context of consensual non-consent (CNC) fantasy rather than any real intent. Fantasy is widely considered a normal part of sexuality; acting on this without consent is a serious crime. See also: Consensual Non-Consent.
Blackmail Play
A consensual dynamic in which a submissive provides material that could be damaging if made public — photographs, confessions, private information — as a means of creating a sense of compulsion within the dynamic. Consent is given in advance. Requires exceptional trust and crystal-clear limits around what the material will and will not be used for.
Blood Play
Edge play involving cutting, piercing, or otherwise drawing blood as part of a BDSM scene. Carries significant health risks including infection and disease transmission. Practiced by experienced players only with full awareness of safer practice requirements.
Body Inflation Fetishism
Sexual arousal from fantasies involving the inflation of body parts — typically the belly or breasts — beyond their natural size. Primarily a fantasy-based fetish expressed through artwork, stories, and roleplay.
Body Modification Fetishism
Sexual arousal from body modification — including tattoos, piercings, scarification, branding, and more extreme permanent alterations. In BDSM contexts, body modification can serve as ownership marking, identity expression, or a form of service submission.
Body Worship
The act of worshipping a partner's body as an expression of devotion and reverence — typically performed by a submissive toward a Dominant. Can focus on the entire body or specific areas including feet (foot worship), hands, or genitals. A common practice in femdom, D/s, and service submission dynamics.
Bondage
Physical restraint of a partner using rope, cuffs, chains, tape, or other materials as part of consensual BDSM play. One of the most widely practiced kinks in the world. Ranges from simple wrist ties to elaborate suspension rigs. The B in BDSM. See also: Shibari, Kinbaku, Mummification.
Bottom
The person receiving physical sensation or taking the receptive role in a scene. The bottom does not necessarily identify as submissive — a Dominant can bottom in a specific scene without relinquishing their overall dynamic role. Bottom describes what someone is doing in a scene rather than their identity.
Brat
A type of submissive who expresses submission through playful resistance, mischief, and deliberate defiance rather than compliance. Brats push back against their Dominant to provoke a response — typically discipline or punishment — that forms part of the consensual dynamic. Brat play is negotiated; it is not genuine disrespect. See also: Brat Tamer.
Brat Tamer
A Dominant who specifically enjoys handling bratty submissives. Finds the resistance and mischief playful rather than irritating and enjoys the challenge of bringing a brat to heel. Brat tamer and brat dynamics require specific compatibility between partners.
Breast Bondage
Bondage applied specifically to the breasts — either flattening them against the chest or causing them to bulge and become more sensitive through binding. Requires knowledge of safe binding technique to avoid nerve or circulation issues.
Breath Play
Restriction of oxygen as part of BDSM play. One of the most dangerous forms of edge play — erotic asphyxiation has caused accidental deaths. Widely regarded by the BDSM community as extreme edge play requiring exceptional caution, experience, and ideally trained medical knowledge. Methods include strangulation, suffocation, and smothering. See also: Asphyxiophilia, Edge Play.
Breeding Kink
Sexual arousal from the act of being impregnated or impregnating a partner — or the fantasy thereof. Can be practiced within consensual non-consent fantasy, within D/s dynamics, or as a standalone erotic focus. Often overlaps with cum play and raw sex communities.
Butt Plug
A sex toy designed for anal insertion with a flared base to prevent migration. Common in BDSM, anal play, and pup play contexts (tail plugs). Available in a wide range of sizes and materials. Some lock in place to heighten control dynamics.
C
Cacophilia
Sexual arousal from loud, unpleasant, or cacophonous sounds. A rare variant of acousticophilia focused specifically on discordant or harsh audio stimuli.
Candaulism
The practice of exposing one's partner — or images of them — to other people for sexual arousal. The partner may or may not know they are being observed or shared. In consensual contexts this overlaps with voyeurism, cuckolding, and exhibitionism dynamics.
Capnolagnia
Sexual arousal from watching people smoke. Can involve the aesthetics of smoke, the act of smoking, or the association of smoking with specific personas or power dynamics.
Caregiver
The nurturing, protective, dominant figure in a CGL (Caregiver/Little) dynamic. Provides structure, rules, emotional support, and genuine care. Can be male (Daddy), female (Mommy), or any gender. Leads through nurturing authority rather than traditional Dominance.
Catoptrophilia
Sexual arousal from mirrors or watching oneself and/or a partner in reflective surfaces during sexual activity. Related to narcissism and exhibitionism dynamics.
CGL (Caregiver/Little)
The broader umbrella term covering all caregiver and little dynamics regardless of gender — including DDLG, DDLB, MDLG, MDLB, and related structures. Focuses on the nurturing relationship between a protective dominant figure and a Little who enters a childlike headspace.
Chastity
A form of orgasm and genital access control in which a person is prevented from touching themselves, often via a locking chastity device. The Dominant holds the key. Common in D/s, femdom, and ownership dynamics as an ongoing expression of power exchange between scenes. Locktober is a community event in October built around chastity practice.
Cheirophilia
Sexual arousal from hands or hand contact. Can focus on hand aesthetics, touch, grip, or specific hand actions.
Chremastistophilia
Sexual arousal from being robbed or held up. A power and danger-based fetish closely related to autassassinophilia and threat fantasy dynamics.
Chronophilia
Sexual attraction to a partner of a significantly different chronological age. Encompasses age-gap dynamics including anililagnia (attraction to older women) and gerontophilia (attraction to elderly people).
Claustrophilia
Sexual arousal from confined or enclosed spaces. Related to mummification, sensory deprivation, and bondage dynamics where restriction of movement is the primary stimulus.
Clothing Fetishism
Sexual arousal from specific garments or types of clothing. Common clothing fetishes include latex and rubber wear, leather, lingerie, uniforms, stockings, and high heels. One of the most prevalent fetish categories — clothing fetishism of some form is extremely common across all genders and orientations.
CNC (Consensual Non-Consent)
A consensual agreement in which partners roleplay scenarios as if consent has been withdrawn. Commonly called rape play or ravishment. Consent to all activities is given in advance — including the right to continue despite protests or resistance that are part of the scene. Requires exceptional trust, extremely clear pre-negotiation, and established safeword systems.
Cock and Ball Torture (CBT)
BDSM play involving pain or intense sensation applied to the penis and testicles. Methods include squeezing, binding, weights, clothespins, and impact play. A common practice within male submission and femdom dynamics.
Collar
One of the most significant symbols in BDSM. A collar worn around the neck signals ownership, commitment, and the bond between Dominant and submissive. Types include play collars (scenes only), day collars (worn daily as a discreet dynamic symbol), and formal collars (presented in a collaring ceremony). Being collared is a significant relational milestone. See also: Collaring Ceremony, Day Collar.
Collaring Ceremony
A formal event in which a Dominant presents a collar to a submissive as a symbol of commitment, ownership, and dynamic. Equivalent in emotional significance to a wedding or commitment ceremony. May be witnessed by community members or conducted privately.
Compersion
The feeling of joy experienced when a partner is happy in another relationship. A central concept in polyamory culture. Often described as the opposite of jealousy — feeling happiness at a partner's happiness rather than threat.
Contract
A document formalising all aspects of a BDSM dynamic — including expectations, limits, activities, protocols, safewords, and duration. Not legally binding but used as a negotiation and clarity tool. Common in formal M/s and TPE dynamics.
Coprophilia / Scat Play
Sexual arousal from faeces. Involves the erotic use of excrement in sexual play. A niche but documented fetish with a community presence, particularly within extreme humiliation and degradation dynamics. Health considerations are significant. See also: Degradation.
Coulrophilia
Sexual attraction to clowns. A paraphilia associated with the exaggerated, transgressive, and uncanny aspects of clown personas rather than attraction to real circus performers specifically.
Crush Fetishism
Sexual arousal from the crushing or trampling of objects — commonly food, small objects, or in extreme cases small creatures. Foot crush fetishism (crushing objects underfoot, particularly in high heels) is the most common variant.
Cryophilia
Sexual arousal from ice, cold temperatures, or cold objects applied to the body. A form of temperature play in BDSM contexts — ice is commonly used during scenes to create intense sensation and contrast with heat.
Cuckolding
A consensual dynamic in which one partner (the cuckold) watches or knows about their partner having sex with another person (the bull). Often involves humiliation for the cuckold. One of the most widely practiced non-monogamous kink dynamics. Exists across all orientations and relationship structures.
D
Daddy Dom
A Dominant who takes on a paternal, nurturing, protective role — leading through care, structure, and authority rather than severity. Common in DDLG, DDLB, and age play dynamics. Within gay culture the daddy dynamic has its own distinct character, overlapping with the daddy bear identity. See also: DDLG, DDLB, Age Play.
Dacryphilia
Sexual arousal from tears or from making a partner cry. Can involve the aesthetics of crying, the emotional vulnerability of the crying person, or the power dynamic implicit in being the cause of someone's tears. A form of emotional sadism when practiced by a Dominant.
Day Collar
A collar designed to be worn in everyday life as a discreet symbol of a BDSM dynamic — styled to look like regular jewellery so it can be worn in public, at work, or in vanilla settings without drawing attention. One of the most meaningful pieces of BDSM identity jewellery. See also: Collar, Collaring Ceremony.
DDLB (Daddy Dom / Little Boy)
A CGL dynamic in which a Dominant (Daddy) takes on a protective, nurturing role with a male-presenting Little. Common in gay male communities as well as mixed-gender dynamics. See also: CGL, Age Play, DDLG.
DDLG (Daddy Dom / Little Girl)
A CGL dynamic in which a male-presenting Dominant (Daddy) and a female-presenting Little Girl engage in a nurturing power exchange. One of the most widely practiced CGL dynamics. Not necessarily sexual. See also: CGL, Age Play, Littles.
Degradation
The use of language, actions, or situations to diminish a person's sense of worth as part of consensual BDSM play. An erotic tool of psychological dominance sought by many submissives. Distinguished from genuine abuse entirely by consent — degradation within a negotiated dynamic is actively desired. See also: Humiliation Play.
Dendrophilia
Sexual attraction to trees. One of the rarer nature-based paraphilias, involving attraction to the physical or symbolic qualities of trees.
Diaper Fetishism
Sexual or comfort-focused arousal from wearing diapers. The garment itself is the focus — distinct from ABDL (which also involves persona and regression) though the two frequently overlap. See also: ABDL.
Discipline
Punishment and reward structures used to reinforce the rules and protocols of a BDSM dynamic. Discipline can be physical (impact play, physical tasks) or psychological (verbal correction, privilege removal). The D in B/D. See also: Impact Play, Punishment.
Dollophilia / Doll Fetishism
Sexual attraction to dolls — particularly life-sized, realistic, or sexualised ones. Overlaps with agalmatophilia (attraction to statues and mannequins) and objectophilia.
Dom / Dominant
The partner who holds power, leads the dynamic, and exercises control within a BDSM relationship or scene. Being Dominant is active and emotionally demanding — requiring intelligence, care, and genuine awareness of the submissive's wellbeing. Capitalised by community convention. See also: Domme, Master, Top.
Dom Drop
The emotional crash that some Dominants experience after an intense scene — similar to sub-drop but from the other side. Can involve guilt, emptiness, or emotional deflation. Recognised by the community but less commonly discussed than sub-drop. Aftercare applies to Dominants too. See also: Sub-Drop, Aftercare.
Dom Space
The heightened, focused mental state a Dominant may enter during a scene — characterised by intense presence, heightened perception, and deep engagement with the dynamic. The Dominant equivalent of sub-space.
Dominatrix / Pro-Domme
A female Dominant, particularly in a professional context. A professional dominatrix (pro-domme) offers paid BDSM sessions and specialises in specific dynamics. A distinct professional industry separate from lifestyle femdom, with its own ethics and standards. Common entry point for submissives new to the lifestyle. See also: Femdom, Mistress.
Domme
A female Dominant. The feminine form of Dom. Can also be used as a gender-neutral term by those who prefer it. See also: Dom, Mistress, Dominatrix.
Dungeon
A room or space containing BDSM equipment and designated for scenes and play. Can be a private home setup or a dedicated space at a fetish club or play party venue. Typically contains furniture such as St Andrew's crosses, spanking benches, and suspension points.
Dungeon Monitor (DM)
A person responsible for supervising interactions and enforcing the rules of conduct at a BDSM event or play party. The DM ensures scenes are practiced safely and consensually and can intervene if something appears unsafe. The community equivalent of a safety officer.
D/s (Dominance and Submission)
A power exchange relationship where one partner leads (Dominant) and the other follows (submissive). Can be scene-based (activated only during dedicated play) or lifestyle-based (extending into daily life). One of the most common BDSM dynamics and the D/s in the BDSM acronym.
Dysmorphophilia
Sexual arousal from one's own perceived physical deformities or imperfections. A niche paraphilia that intersects with body image, self-perception, and humiliation dynamics.
E
Ecdysiophilia
Sexual arousal from stripping, undressing, or striptease performances. Can involve performing the striptease or watching it. Overlaps with exhibitionism and voyeurism dynamics.
Edge Play
BDSM activities carrying significantly higher physical or psychological risk than standard practice. What constitutes edge play is subjective — activities considered edge play by some are standard practice for others. Commonly cited examples include breath play, blood play, fire play, knife play, and electrical play. Edge play requires significantly higher levels of experience, knowledge, and trust between partners.
Electrical Play / Electrophilia
BDSM play involving controlled electrical stimulation. Tools include violet wands, TENS units, and e-stim devices. Produces sensations ranging from mild tingling to intense shock depending on device and setting. Requires knowledge of safe use to avoid cardiac risk and nerve damage.
Emetophilia
Sexual arousal from vomit or the act of vomiting. Can involve inducing vomiting in oneself or a partner, or watching the act. A rare paraphilia with significant health considerations. Themes of dominance, submission, and humiliation are commonly present within this fetish.
ENM (Ethical Non-Monogamy)
The broader umbrella term for all relationship structures involving more than two people, conducted with the full knowledge and consent of all parties. Encompasses polyamory, open relationships, swinging, and relationship anarchy. The defining principle is honesty and consent rather than exclusivity.
Enema Play / Klismaphilia
Sexual arousal from administering or receiving enemas. Can involve the physical sensation of fullness and pressure, the humiliation dynamic of the act, or both. Related to anal play and sometimes to water sports dynamics.
Eproctophilia
Sexual arousal from flatulence. One of the rarer bodily function fetishes, involving arousal from the sound, smell, or sensation of passing gas by oneself or a partner.
Erotic Humiliation
The use of humiliation — verbal, situational, or physical — as a consensual erotic tool within BDSM dynamics. Very common in D/s and M/s relationships. The submissive actively desires the experience of being humiliated. Distinguished from real humiliation by complete consent and the submissive's genuine arousal. See also: Degradation.
Exhibitionism
Sexual arousal from exposing oneself — one's body, nudity, or sexual activity — to others. In consensual contexts this includes public nudity at events, sex in semi-public spaces with willing observers, and performance. Non-consensual exhibitionism (flashing strangers) is illegal and outside the scope of kink community practice.
Exophilia
Sexual attraction to extraterrestrials, aliens, or beings from beyond Earth. Primarily a fantasy and science fiction-based paraphilia expressed through fiction, roleplay, and artwork.
F
Fat Fetishism / Adipophilia
Sexual attraction to overweight or obese people. One of the more common and widely recognised body type fetishes. The feedism community (those who are aroused by weight gain and feeding) overlaps significantly with fat fetishism.
Feederism
A kink involving sexual arousal from eating, feeding, and weight gain — either in oneself or a partner. Feeders are aroused by encouraging a partner to eat and gain weight. Feedees are aroused by the act of eating and gaining. A distinct community with its own culture and identity.
Femdom
Female Domination — a BDSM dynamic in which the Dominant partner is female. Encompasses gentle femdom, sensual femdom, strict protocol dynamics, female-led relationships (FLR), and professional dominatrix practice. One of the most widely practiced BDSM dynamics globally. See also: Mistress, Dominatrix, FLR.
Fetish
An object, body part, material, or situation that is the focus of intense sexual arousal — often essential to arousal rather than merely enhancing it. Distinguished from kink in that a fetish typically refers to something specific and non-sexual in origin that has acquired strong erotic significance. Examples include feet, latex, leather, rubber, and specific garments.
Figging
The insertion of a peeled piece of fresh ginger root into the anus (and sometimes vagina or urethra) during BDSM play. The ginger creates an intense burning sensation that intensifies with clenching. A practice with historical roots in Victorian punishment and now used in BDSM sensation play.
Financial Domination / Findom
A power exchange dynamic in which a submissive (sometimes called a pay pig, money slave, or finsub) demonstrates submission through monetary tribute to a Dominant (Findomme or Findom). Primarily practiced online. The transfer of money is itself the act of submission. Requires clear boundaries and financial self-awareness to practice responsibly.
Fire Play
BDSM edge play involving the use of fire — typically dragging flames briefly across the skin, using flash cotton, or working with burning implements. Produces intense sensation and psychological intensity. Requires significant training and safety knowledge. A fire extinguisher and safety equipment should always be present.
Fisting
The gradual insertion of an entire hand into the vagina or rectum. A significant and well-established sexual practice within gay male, leather, and BDSM communities. Requires extensive preparation, relaxation, appropriate lubrication, and patience. The red hanky in the hanky code signals fisting interest.
Flagging
Wearing a coloured or patterned handkerchief in a back pocket to signal sexual interests to others — particularly in cruising, leather, and gay male spaces. Left pocket signals active/top role; right pocket signals receptive/bottom role. See also: Hanky Code.
FLR (Female-Led Relationship)
A lifestyle dynamic in which the female partner leads the household, relationship, and decision-making. The male partner defers to her authority as an ongoing committed structure rather than just during scenes. FLRs range from light (final say on joint decisions) to full TPE. See also: Femdom, TPE.
Food Play / Sitophilia
Sexual arousal from food — either in its presence, smell, taste, or its erotic use during sexual activity. Related to wet and messy fetishism (sploshing) when food is used for coverage rather than consumption. See also: Sploshing.
Foot Fetishism / Podophilia
Sexual arousal from feet. One of the most common fetishes globally across all genders and orientations. Can involve the appearance, smell, touch, or taste of feet. Foot worship — the submissive act of kissing, licking, or massaging a Dominant's feet — is a common practice in femdom and D/s dynamics.
Formicophilia
Sexual arousal from having small insects or creatures crawl on the body — particularly on or near the genitals. The appeal is typically the sensory experience of tiny movements and the psychological thrill of vulnerability and loss of control. One of the rarer sensory paraphilias.
Forniphilia
A kink involving a person being used as human furniture — objectified as a piece of practical furniture for another person's use. The person may be used as a footstool, table, chair, or display piece. Related to objectification and service submission dynamics. Custom jewellery and body wear designed for forniphilia scenes is a genuine niche market.
Free Use
A consensual dynamic in which a Dominant can initiate sexual activity with a submissive at any time, without requiring specific consent for each instance. Blanket consent is given in advance for a defined range of activities. One of the more structured forms of TPE and ownership dynamics.
Frotteurism
Sexual arousal from rubbing against another person. In consensual contexts this is a legitimate kink practiced between consenting partners. Non-consensual frotteurism (rubbing against strangers) is illegal and outside the scope of the kink community.
