Queening. (See: Face Sitting)

Queening Stool. A queening stool is a specialized stool that allows access to the

seated person’s bare genitals to a person lying on his or her back below. It is

used primarily for forced cunnilingus, or face sitting. (See also: Face Sitting,

Rack. Racks are sometimes referred to as torture or stretching racks and were

used for torture, and sometimes even execution, for over two thousand years. A

traditional rack consisted of a wooden frame or table-like device which sat

horizontally or at a slight incline, with ratcheting rollers or cylinders at each

end. Attached to the ratcheting rollers were ropes, chains or cables which were,

in turn, attached to wrist or ankle cuffs. A subject would be placed on the rack

and restrained by the wrist and ankle cuffs before his torturer would begin

ratcheting the rollers tight to put excruciating tension on the arms and legs.

Often, the person would be held immobile on the rack by the tension while other

forms of torture, such as whipping, burning, or cutting were applied. Eventually,

the tension would be increased and the subject’s cartilage, ligaments, and bones

would begin to pop, tear, and dislocate. Modern-day racks used in BDSM play

apply the same general mechanism to stretch a person out lengthwise by his

wrists and ankles, typically to immobilize the subject while other things are done

to him. (See also: St. Andrews Cross, Table play, Torture)

are doing it with, before engaging in any BDSM activity. (See also: S.S.C.)

Rape Fantasy. Sexual arousal or gratification from thinking about or acting out a

fantasy or simulated rape scene is relatively common, yet rarely discussed

openly in polite society for a number of good reasons. In the BDSM lifestyle,

rape role play is generally referred to as a form of “consensual non-consent”,

meaning that a bottom gives actual consent to the activity prior to a scene, with

the understanding that any non-consent that is expressed during a scene is not to

be taken seriously. Obviously, this can be a very risky activity for everyone

involved, since even the simplest misunderstanding can have serious
