Pinwheel. A pinwheel is a small device, also known as a Wartenburg

Neurowheel. It is named after its inventor, Robert Wartenberg, who invented it

to test nerve sensitivity as it was rolled across a patient’s skin. It was commonly

used in in the past in many kinds of BDSM scenes, but less so today due to

health concerns, since it breaks the skin with its tiny sharp spikes, which are

arranged like a child’s pinwheel toy. (See also: Sensation play)

Play Collar. A play collar refers to any collar that is worn primarily for

collars, medical (cervical) collars, ball gag collars, bit gag collars, or hooded

marriage consisting of a wife with two or more husbands. (See also: Group

marriage, Polyamory)

Polyfidelous. The practice of being faithful to more than one partner, usually in

a polyamorous relationship, is called polyfidelity. For example, a polyamorous
