Sensory Deprivation

“The worst cruelty that can be inflicted on a human being is isolation.”

-Sukarno

Definition

Sensory Deprivation is the act of taking away someone’s senses, usually through blindfolds, gags, hoods, earplugs or noise cancelling headphones and restrictive bondage. People like this form of play ranging from light to extreme because it allows them to enter other states of consciousness that our minds try to avoid. It can be very intense both physically and psychologically, with some finding it meditative and calming while others feel it is too hard to endure for even a few moments at a time.

The Five Senses

There are many ways to cut off the five senses that can add to a feeling of utter helplessness and may return someone to their most simple state psychologically. When one is faced with nothing but their own true self, they must face whatever demons or angels lie inside. First of all there are blindfolds which cut off the sight. They range from eye masks for relaxing to sturdy leather affairs that lock around the face. There are also earplugs and noise cancelling headphones to cut out the sound. Many full-face hoods encompass padding around the ears to further block it out. Hoods also may have a gag component to take away the ability to speak and to taste.

Extreme Sensory Dep

Sensory Dep, the shortened version of the full term for this type of play, can get pretty extreme. The most extreme form is when people use inflatable full body rubber suits to bind them in place, in conjunction with a hood. This gives the body a feeling of floating and being in place while not touching anything. This can lead to what some may describe as a religious experience which will be remembered for a long time to come by any submissive or can take fragile submissives far beyond their breaking point. It should not surprise anyone that the enhanced interrogation techniques used in places like Gitmo relied heavily on extreme sensory deprivation, taken to a point far outside the realm of enjoyment or casual play.

Gags

“If talk is cheap, then being silent is expensive. And many people it seems, can’t afford to buy into it.”

-Anthony Liccione

Definition

Gags are a piece of BDSM equipment that are designed to go into the mouth to keep an unruly submissive quiet. Depending on the type of gag, of which there are many, there may also be the added effect of causing a lot of drool to fall down, since the person won’t be able to catch it all the normal way. To some bondage fanatics, gags are the sexiest thing they can think of and they are functional too. They help to keep the nosiest neighbors from wondering what all that screaming is about.

Popular Types of Gags

Ball gags are the most popular type of gag and you’ve probably seen them in depictions of BDSM even in mainstream TV shows. They are usually red or black in color and consist of a rubber or silicone ball that gets strapped into the mouth. This holds the mouth open to a degree and doesn’t allow the gag to get spit out. There are also harness gags that use balls as well. The harness holds the ball in place even better than the ones that just have a strap. There are bit gags, which look like the bits used in a bridle. Ring gags are another popular type of gag. They hold the mouth open and allow for the insertion of things, suck as cocks, and don’t allow the mouth to chomp down.

Gag Safety

Many people play very safely with gags all of the time. In fact, they are pretty safe as far as BDSM goes. However, there are a few tips to remember. First of all, you should never leave someone who is gagged unattended, as there is a significant choking risk – and not the fun kind. As the person can’t swallow their spit as usual, depending on the position, they could easily get into a distress situation. In addition, when placing gags, you should be careful to not catch the delicate lip tissue on the teeth, or pull the gag so tight that the person will have marks on their face, unless this has been agreed upon beforehand.

Hypnotism

“You use hypnosis not as a cure, but as a means of establishing a favorable climate in which to learn.”

-Milton H. Erickson

Definition

Hypnosis is a mental practice used for many purposes. In terms of fetish and sexuality, it is often used for mind control. People who are into hypnosis as a fetish dream of being turned into brainless slaves or sex crazed maniacs through the use of mind control techniques. They also dream of having their brains wired differently so they can enjoy outlandish sexual feelings, perhaps like feeling as if their feet were as sensitive as their vagina. Whether or not hypnosis is real and can really achieve these goals for any person remains to be seen,

Unlocking the Unconscious

Many people into hypnosis try dream techniques to unlock their deepest sexual fantasies that even their own conscious mind was unaware about. If you look at hypnosis fetish videos, that is a common theme. The idea that people have dirty sexual desires hidden behind the facade of their every day appearance is quite alluring to these hypnotism enthusiasts. They also love to use hypnosis to take away any inhibitions that a girl might feel, which turns them into a nude masturbating mess. Of course, you must have a person’s consent to perform hypnosis on them and you should agree beforehand what the hypnosis will entail.

How to Learn

There are many services out there that claim they will help you learn about erotic hypnosis and how to do it, however, many think it is best to go to an official hypnosis school and then put your own erotic twist on the craft. Dozens of books have also been published on the subject. While many doubt the reality of hypnotism, some believe it can be harmful if you put the wrong things into someone’s delicate mind. You’ll have to try and be careful with this mysterious and sexual practice. Being in control of someone’s mind it a big responsibility, especially when they trust you with that control willingly.

Femdom

“A man in the house is worth two on the street.”

-Mae West

Definition

Femdom is a special subset of BDSM that focuses on women in charge of submissive guys. Within this type of play, the Dommes and subs can do just about anything, as long as the girl is on top and the guy is on the bottom. Some Dommes have multiple submissives at their beck and call, or even have house guys who come and take care of their cleaning and laundry. The one thing that is for sure is that the women in any type of femdom relationship are on top and in charge.

Types of Play

As a Domme, there are many things you can do to highlight this special relationship. A favorite of many women who are on top is to have the sub do pussy worship which might consist of hours of cunnilingus practice, and it might even include having your sub service your horny girlfriends. After this practice, your bottom guy will be an expert at giving women orgasms. It’s even better if you keep him locked up and away from any sexual pleasure while he gives you as much as you want. Chastity is another large component of many female Dominant relationships.

Financial Domination

Many Dommes also practice Findom, or financial domination. This is when a woman is given control of a man’s finances, sometimes even including his bank accounts or having control over his wallet. These guys get off on having a woman drain them dry of all of their resources, and supporting a woman who is so clearly superior to them. Of course financial Domination has it’s downsides – if you’re not a well off sub, then your basic needs may prevent you from becoming a Findom mistress’s favorite fucktoy.

Cum Eating

“Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are.”

-Anthelme Brillat Savarin

Definition

Cum eating was once considered so taboo that it reached the level of becoming a fetish for a while. In modern times, largely thanks to the influence of porn videos on society, it is now considered perfectly normal for a woman to swallow a big thick load of cum from one or more men to satisfy their urges. It isn’t even freaky anymore for a gang of men to dump loads of jizz in one whore’s mouth bukkake style as she gargles it down with a great big gulp. However, if a guy eats his own cum, that is still considered freaky as hell!

Usually the guy is a submissive who is ordered to do it by a Dominant male or a cuckold put into the predicament by his Dominant female partner, but sometimes guys just do it of their own volition out of curiosity for what cum tastes like. Some guys enjoy tasting their own cum, and others like to taste other guys’ cum. This is especially popular in the cuckolding fetish. In this particular scenario, the cuck might even go so far as to suck the cum of another man out of his mistress’ vagina as a special delicacy.

Get Tested

As with anything in which you might exchange fluids with anyone else, you need to get tested before you eat anyone else’s cum. This will protect your from STIs, which is always a good thing. If you’re eating your own cum, there’s absolutely no need for this safety measure, because there’s no harm in eating the jizz that comes from inside of your body. However, when eating foreign jizz, there’s slightly more risk. Of all the activities under the sphere of kink, however, this one is pretty darn safe.

Corset Training

“Corsetry is a body modification.”

-Dita Von Teese

Definition

Corsets have been around for hundreds of years as an undergarment worn mostly by women to give them slim waists. However, like many things that were once a part of every day life, corsets are pretty much only a sexy item to wear these days. Those who are into corset training wear them almost all the time in order to get their waists down to what might seem like impossibly small circumferences. Some women who are trained can’t stand up for very long without the support of their garments, because their muscles aren’t very strong anymore since a corset offers a lot of support.

How to Get Started

Many celebrities actually prefer a modern version of corset training called waist training to get their hourglass figure. To get started with corset training, it’s recommended to find a high quality corset that is made either with bones or new modern technology that works just as well. Once you have your piece, you should start by wearing it just one hour per day, and each consecutive day, you raise the time by 30 minutes to an hour. After a few weeks you should be able to wear the corset for 8 hours per day. If you want to do more time than that, you should save that for only special occasions so your organs get room to breathe once in awhile!

The Extreme

Some people who have been very dedicated to the fetish of waist training and corset training wear their corsets all waking hours of the day and some sleeping. This is only the extreme side of the fetish and shouldn’t be expected of all corset-training hopefuls. According to some, years of corset training does help to reduce the size of the natural waist, however, most people who use corset training prefer to do it because of the restrictive feeling of the corsets and how sexy the actual garments look on their bodies.

Breast Torment

“Girls have got balls. They’re just a little higher up, that’s all.”

-Joan Jett

Definition

Tits can be pretty much any shape or size, and they all have different qualities to them. Some of them are big and pendulous, sagging low on the body. Others are small and tight, hanging close to the chest. Either way, they are just begging for someone to torment them! Breast torment can encompass a large number of activities in the sphere of BSDM. There is bondage, of course, and lots of different clips, clamps and implements that can be used to make the breasts feel the cleansing pain some deserve.

Breast Bondage

When someone has bigger breasts, it is easy to tie them up; at least that’s what the people who are into breast play believe! Many like to tie them up tight, wrapping thin rope or cord around them until they look like torpedoes. This is a great form of play that can feel really good as the throbbing sensation sets in and when the pressure is released as the ropes are removed. You should be careful when combining impact play with this type of bondage since blood is trapped in the breasts, and those big tits will turn a dark purple causing even darker bruises that last for a long time – so it’s easy to accidentally go overboard when trying breast torment for this first time. Much like the balls, the breasts should only be tied up in this manner for short periods of time to avoid complications from circulation failure.

Don’t Try This At Home

It is possible for some women to actually be suspended by their breasts, if they have the right consistency, size, shape and texture. This must be done in a safe environment with experienced players, and there should be plenty of people nearby to help with safety. It is a dangerous activity to suspend someone from their breasts, but there are also bondage positions that put some pressure on the breasts which make it more of a reasonable predicament to put someone in as you practice. Start slow and simple, if you want to gradually become an expert without damaging your partner and your reputation during the inevitable learning process.

Lactation And Loss

Be particularly careful with anyone who is lactating as engorged breasts react differently. Also keep hormonal changes in mind during times of menses or menopause. One final important thought deals with people who have had a mastectomy to remove one or both breasts. Breast play with mastectomy survivors can be an extremely emotional and cathartic experience but needs to be done with a fair amount of preparation and aftercare in your planning.

Wax Play

“It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.”

-Eleanor Roosevelt

Definition

Wax play is a type of BDSM play in which a Dominant or top drops hot wax onto the body of a submissive or bottom. By the time the wax reaches the skin, it’s not too hot and it causes a minor burning sensation – but when done properly doesn’t burn the skin or leave any marks. Wax play should be done by people who have good experience because there is some level of danger and risk of harm to the bottom, but it’s fairly easy to avoid this with a little bit of education and experience.

Choosing Your Candle

The most common types of candles used for wax play are Paraffin, and soy candles. Types that you should avoid are beeswax and animal fat candles. Beeswax burns slightly hotter than paraffin and can sometimes be acceptable for wax play, but animal fat candles, like those made from beef tallow can burn extremely hot and that is no good for wax play. In addition, you should try to get the most natural candle possible. Avoid ones that have decorative bits in them, especially ones that look metallic. Try to use unscented candles because oils and scents can increase the burning temperature.

Heating Up

When engaging in a wax play scene it is best to lay down a plastic sheet before hand, because wax does not come off the floor very easily, especially if you have a carpet. It’s quite troublesome and will leave a mark for a long time in your living room! Place your submissive where you want them. Some people like to bind the sub so they can’t squirm away from the wax. Then light your candle and test the wax on yourself once it has melted. Next, drip it over your sub. Remember the most sensitive bits are the genitals and nipples, so the distance the wax travels from candle to contact needs to be varied accordingly. When done well the Dom can smoothly glide a candle over his sub leaving a beautiful trail of wax in his wake, while hovering closer to less sensitive areas and subtly moving further away as the drips cascade down on the most sensitive targets of his affection!

Nyotaimori

“Heaven has no taste and not one, single sushi restaurant.”

-Terri Pratchett

Definition

Nyotaimori is a Samurai tradition from feudal times that objectifies a person as a serving dish for sushi or other food items. It has become a common thing to see at luxurious swinger parties, and other types of events where people want to impress their guests and help them become a little horny. It’s a party where sushi is served, but instead of plates or even the little sushi trains you see at some restaurants, the dishes are actually beautiful women who have been specially trained to lay still for hours at a time after bathing with special soap as a kinky way to serve guests a spectacular meal.

History

Nyotaimori (or Nantaimori if the models are guys) started in Japan, of course. It began when samurais started to be the Dominant part of the culture. When they would come back from a battle, successful, they would celebrate with this type of party, eating sushi off of naked geishas. Now it is done just for the heck of it whenever people want to have a good party. Traditionally, models would use a special unscented soap and get doused in cold water before lying down. In the Japanese tradition of being a human sushi plate, the girls don’t talk to or even acknowledge the diners, but at some Western parties in modern days, they do and that’s part of the fun. Has your plate ever talked back to you?

Eating Clean

If you’re like most people, you’re probably thinking, is that sanitary? Many places that have Nyotaimori parties put the sushi on leaves or cloths so that it doesn’t touch the skin directly. Some states and countries have regulations that actually require the girl to get covered in plastic to further protect her skin from the sushi. This helps to prevent any contamination of the food – or the girl, in case there are any particularly naughty party guests. Still it’s not entirely uncommon for a VIP to slip a finger into his favorite Nyotaimori while selecting an assortment of appetizers from between her tits.

Fire Play

“Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us, but we can’t strike them all by ourselves.”

-Laura Esquivel

Definition

Fire play has to do with fire used in sexual ways, and there aren’t many people who do it very often, but those who do enjoy the fetish practice frequently to master the flames and their submissive partners simultaneously. Having the right tools, understanding proper safety techniques and learning when to raise or lower the intensity is the difference between an impressive flourish of flame during a performance, and an unplanned trip to the emergency room with dire consequences.

Burn it Up

Most people use 70% isopropyl alcohol for fuel during fireplay, but they can also use other forms including 91% isopropyl alcohol, grain alcohol and flash cotton. The most common forms of fire play are called bouncing and streaking. Bouncing is when a fire wand is bounced along the skin, usually the ass. This does not involve the fuel for fire being placed on the person’s body. With streaking, the fuel is applied to the skin, often in a beautiful pattern, and lit up, but put out before it has a chance to burn the skin. Some fire tops will allow slight burning of the skin on purpose to leave a mark.

Trust is Key

When done correctly fireplay doesn’t cause serious harm, and it doesn’t leave marks unless the top intends it. So why do people do it if it’s not a painful punishment? Well, those who enjoy fire play feel a greater level of trust and intimacy, along with a healthy dose of showmanship that can bring up the energy level of any munch, orgy or BDSM scene. That being said, you should only do a fireplay scene with someone that you know very well and who you trust strongly. It’s not the kind of thing to do on a first date. It can be fun with those you trust, but if the trust isn’t there, it leads to a very scary and dangerous situation indeed.
