Abrasion Play. Stimulating, over-stimulating, or causing the skin to become

hyper-sensitized through the application of abrasive materials such as sandpaper,

brushes, the edges of coins, or special instruments designed specifically for this

after the abrasion activity. The most commonly used enhancer is mentholated
