Domination & submission _ the BDSM relationship handbook ( PDFDrive )

more accurately refers to a BDSM activity that is done in front of an audience.
A scene should be considered a performance, and not be interrupted or interfered
with in any way. Scenes do not usually involve explicitly sexual activity, but
there are always exceptions, and it is not uncommon for participants (or even
observers) to experience a sexual reaction to what might be considered by most
to be a nonsexual activity. Before participating in any kind of BDSM scene,
always be sure that all participants are clear on exactly what will be involved,
whether it will involve sex, and what safety measures will be in effect. (See

Sensation Play. Sensation play refers to any activity that involves a sharp focus
on the physical sensations of touch, temperature, taste, smell, hearing, and sight.
Some types of sensation play may be very subtle and others not quite so subtle.
Sensation play may also include sensory deprivation activities, such as the use of
blindfolds. Other examples of sensation play are: tickle play, temperature play
(i.e. ice or hot wax), electrical play (i.e. violet wands or TENS units), abrasion,
and cupping. (See also: Abrasion play, Blindfolds, Cupping, Electrical play,

Service Sub/Slave. (See also: Domestic)
Service Top. A Service Top is a person who is topping, or acting in a dominant
role, at the request or direction of their partner, who is a bottom, submissive, or
switch. This type of direction or guidance by the bottom is sometimes called
topping from the bottom. (See also: Top, Switch, Bottom, Topping from the
bottom.)
Shibari. A form of Japanese rope bondage that involves highly intricate and
visually appealing patterns and knots. In the BDSM lifestyle, there is a robust
subculture devoted almost entirely to rope bondage in general, and Japanese rope
bondage in particular. Some devotees of shibari make the distinction between
shibari, which is technically the art of tying and knotting, and kinbaku, which is
the application of that art in an erotic or sexual way. (See also: Bondage,

Slapping. Striking the face with an open hand; usually done to heighten a
submissive’s emotional state. Face slapping is often an activity enjoyed by those
who seek humiliation as part of their BDSM play. As a general rule, it is usually
a good idea to ensure that your partner wants to have this done before engaging
