Lexicon & BDSM terms

  1. 24/7 : Said of a BDSM relationship that lasts all day long, every day.
  2. Axilism : is a sexual practice consisting of a man masturbating using the armpits of his or her partner. The skin of the armpits being sensitive to stimulation in some people, the two participants can take pleasure in it and the report leads to a real orgasm. The contact of the hairs (those of the penis and those of the armpits) and the pheromones which emerge from these regions seem to be an erotic stimulus for the adherents to this practice, especially since women who depilate their armpits are in the majority , and that a parallel can be established between the hairiness of the armpits and that of the pubis. The partner can also adjust the pressure on the penis by pressing the elbow more or less against his chest. The pressure exerted on the breast can also cause the woman to reach orgasm. As with the pubis, shaved armpits have their fans. Like masturbation, axilism is a sexual practice considered safe (sécuri-sexe or safer sex).
  3. Aftercare : Period following the session between the top / dominant and the bottom / submissive. It's an important moment when you take care of your partner and allow a smooth return to the real world.

It generally consists of a metal bar (the length typically varies from 50 to 100 cm depending on the level of discipline desired) provided with rings at its ends to allow the attachment of handcuffs. It may have other attachment points along its length so that a collar, suspension device, ropes or chains can be attached. There are telescopic spreader bars so their length can vary, but these bars are generally less sturdy than standard bars. Worn at the wrists, the spreader bar keeps the arms away from the body. At the ankles or knees, it immobilizes the wearer by preventing him from moving while offering free access to his crotch. A pair of spreader bars keeps the wearer in the so-called spread-eagle position. Finally, there are spreader bars that close on the neck and wrists called yokes (yoke).
  7. Gag :In the middle of the SM, a gag is an object which makes it possible to deprive the submissive of the word. In some submissives, wearing a gag exacerbates feelings of helplessness, and desire to be gagged for this reason. Indeed, deprived of speech, the submissive cannot communicate his feelings. For this same reason, the dominant places a gag in the mouth of the submissive to stifle his cries of pain. Moreover, the gag has a connotation of control and punishment, like a muzzle for a dog.

Facial ejaculation is called 'bukkake' when it is performed by several men simultaneously, it is a Japanese specialty that is popular in the pornographic world. Some productions (such as COHF, for Cum on her face) have even specialized in the production of films solely devoted to bukkake. Although facial ejaculation is a classic scene in pornographic films, like any sexual practice, it requires ensuring the consent of your partner. External ejaculation, therefore visible, is another way of filming male enjoyment, which does not show the face of the enjoyer and allows the amateur of pornographic films to depersonify the pleasure of the actor and perhaps even to appropriate it. The face and the mouth are not the only recipients of the semen, all the places of the body which can symbolize the pleasure are a target of the ejaculation, like for example the feet whose sexual fetishism is very widespread. In this precise case, it is even the accessory, ie the shoe with stiletto heels, which can receive the ejaculation, here the ejaculation comes to mean the symbol of pleasure.

In some countries like Singapore, justice can condemn the culprits of certain crimes to a spanking with a rattan cane. This is very painful and leaves marked marks. Spanking may also be practiced for erotic purposes or domestic discipline between consenting adults. Clubs between adult male spanking enthusiasts were created at the end of the 1980s in France (Club CLEF in 1988), Holland (Castigatio in 1988), England (Club 31 and other clubs), Belgium (Spankclub which now defunct), USA and other western countries. The writer and philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau explained how he had taken a liking to spanking when he received it from the hand of his governess, Miss Lambercier, sister of a pastor with whom he was boarding. The first chapter of the Confessions clearly establishes the link between the spanking received in childhood and the desire to continue to receive it as an adult.

  50. Flogging :Flagellation is an act that consists of whipping the human body with a whip, strips, or a flexible rod, or any other similar object. In BDSM relationships, flogging is a strong symbol of dominance for the one performing it. Flogging is almost always performed lightly, so as not to seriously injure the person being beaten. The flogged person assumes the role of submissive. She offers the parts of her body that her 'master' 'claims' to her. The sexual arousal associated with the situation involves exhibitionism, voyeurism, fetishism and sado-masochism. The judiciously dosed physical stimulation of certain sensitive areas (breasts, buttocks, perineum, sex, etc.) can lead some people to orgasm.

Once the introduction is made, the fist can be closed, or the fingers remain straight. Because of its potential risks, the lack of knowledge, which itself creates risks and fears, pain and sexual taboos, the practice of fist-fucking remains much more confidential than that of other sexual activities. Despite the association usually made between anal fist-fucking and male homosexuality, this practice is just as widespread among heterosexuals. Anal fist-fucking is perceived as pleasant by the men who practice it because of the stimulation of the prostate generated. Similarly, vaginal fisting is practiced by women of any sexual orientation. The rare cases of masturbation in this way are the prerogative of women of particular flexibility

The speed of the lanyard causes the end to reach such speed that it makes a popping noise. In BDSM relationships, flogging is a strong symbol of dominance for the one performing it.

Decked out in the humbler, the slave is forced to present the anus to his master who can dispose of it as he sees fit.

These texts try to show poetry, to further increase in the mind of the voyeur the blurring of the photos and the black background behind the table. In one image, a reclining woman, whose photo of the reclining body appears to have been taken of her own face. We observe its white and round belly, marked on the right of the navel with two small black quotation marks.

It is also common to use a color system: Red for "stop", "orange" for "it's not going very well", Green for "yes continue" (and beige, the color of the ceiling "I'm bored "). The safeword is an emergency signal, thumbs up! We stop! of the SM game which, used by the person who submits, indicates to the partner that he must immediately and without discussion interrupt the action in progress, and deliver it from all possible constraints as quickly and cautiously as possible. As a substitute for the English safeword, the more French-speaking veto is sometimes proposed, which was, in ancient Rome, the formula used by the tribunes of the people to oppose the decrees of the Senate. The right of veto, in the SM, designates the possible possibility of categorical refusal that the person who is being dominated can oppose to an action that he dislikes, and should not, in this sense, be confused with the security code, intended, him, to alert the partner of a potential danger of which he would not be aware. Some people choose to abolish the safeword in their games, too often omitting the distinction that exists between right of veto and security code, the principle then returning, pell-mell, to depriving the tribunes of shouting Veto as well! in case of disagreement, fire! when they see a fire threatening to destroy the senate. In order to avoid any confusion with possible pleas which would be simulated within the framework of the SM game, the partners generally agree on a magic word which will be unambiguously recognized as a verbal safeword. Stop! , For example. Or safeword! , thumb! , veto! , pity , or simply the first name of the dominant person, which quickly calls for the abandonment of embodied roles, or even a color coding inspired by red lights. As for non-verbal safewords, made necessary by the use of gags, a currently widespread practice consists, for the one who dominates, in placing a bunch of keys in the hand of the person he is depriving of speech: that this one drop it on the ground, and the emergency alert will be implicitly given, or the right of veto invoked. Security code or right of veto, the safeword is always to be considered as calling for a reaction of the highest urgency, whatever the situation, and however innocuous it may seem in the eyes of the one who controls the events.
