Stocks. Stocks and pillories were popular in medieval times as a form of public
humiliation and punishment. The two terms are often used interchangeably, but
they are technically two very different devices. Both typically consist of hinged
or sliding planks of wood with cut-outs used for restraining certain parts of the
human body. A pillory, however, is used to restrain the hands and neck only,
and is supported in such a way that the person in it must stand. Stocks are set
vertically and used to immobilize only the subject’s arms and legs while he
typically sits. Some variations immobilize all three appendages - the neck,
arms, and legs. Stocks, pillories, and similar devices are usually generically
referred to as stocks. (See also: Bondage, Discipline, Humiliation)
Strait Jacket. A straitjacket is typically a canvas garment top that closes in the
back and has overly long sleeves which, when worn, are crossed over the chest
and then tied or buckled in the back, which prevents the wearer from using his
arms and hands. Some newer designs are made with leather, latex rubber, PVC
or a combination of those materials. Minor variations can include arms that
cross in the back instead of across the chest, the addition of wrist or crotch
straps, breast-access zippers, built-in toy harnesses, built-in chastity belts, and
sturdy closures or fasteners that will accommodate padlocks. (See also:

Strap-on. A strap-on dildo is a phallic sex toy designed to be worn with a
harness. They exist in a variety of different configurations and styles which are
usually worn over the groin area, but are also sometimes worn on other parts of
the body and even the face. Strap-ons can be worn by either sex, and are used
for vaginal sex, anal sex, oral sex, and even masturbation. (See also: Bottom,

Strapping. Strapping is a generic term for using a length of leather, such as a
belt, in impact play. The term may also sometimes also refer to restraints, as in,
“strapping someone to the equipment.” (See also: Impact play, Whipping)
Submissive. A submissive is someone who acts in a compliant or submissive
role in life, and especially in relationships. A submissive may be a “true
submissive” in the sense that this trait is firmly hard-wired into his or her psyche
and the submissive simply doesn’t know any other way to be, or he or she may
