(So-called slave contracts are similarly illegal and unenforceable.) This makes
the practice of consensual non-consent not only illegal, but dangerous for the
Top, who could find himself - perhaps even years later - unexpectedly faced
with criminal charges. Even documentation of the agreement is futile, since the
agreement itself is technically illegal. Despite these risks, consensual nonconsent
is widely practiced and enjoyed by many in the lifestyle. (See also:

Corset/Corsetting. A corset is a garment that reshapes the torso, making it
appear more slender or shapely through non-elastic materials, lacing and ribs,
stays or boning. A corset differs from a girdle, which is typically elastic and
contains no lacing or ribs. Corsets may be worn by Dominants to give them a
more commanding appearance, or by submissives for aesthetic, restrictive, or
body-modification purposes.
Crops. Crops, which are sometimes referred to as riding crops or horse whips,
typically consist of a long, slender and flexible shaft which is thicker and
reinforced at one end to form a handle and has, at the other end, a tongue of
leather, neoprene or cord called the keeper. The traditional shape of the keeper
can be a square, rectangle, circle, half-circle, fiddle, or half-fiddle. Keepers can
also come in a variety of novelty shapes, as well. The flexible shaft adds
leverage and speed to the strike, while the keeper is designed to come into
contact with the target. (See also: Caning, Floggers, Impact play, Whips)

Daddy Dom. A Daddy Dom is typically a Dominant whose primary attraction to
the D/s lifestyle is a unique form of paternalism. The relationship dynamic may
involve sexual or nonsexual age play, incest role-play, erotic or nonsexual
spankings, and other expressions of an imagined parent-child relationship.
Daddy Doms are not attracted to children, they are attracted to adults who
exhibit childlike behaviors. (See also: Age play, Little)
Day Collar. A day collar refers to anything that is worn throughout a person’s
day-to-day vanilla life, to include at work, school, and family or social
gatherings, to symbolize the collared relationship between a Dominant and
