Torture. Torture refers to any sustained activity over time that consists of the
intentional infliction of physical or emotional pain upon another person. One of
the key elements of torture is the fact that it is sustained over a period of time; a
single poke or squeeze may not qualify as torture, but a hundred of them over the
course of an hour might. The most common forms of BDSM torture play are
CBT, breast and nipple torture, predicament bondage, orgasm denial, and
bathroom restrictions; however the list is literally endless. Torture play is also
typically combined with other forms of role play or BDSM scenes, such as
abduction play, interrogation play and medical play. (See also: Abduction play,

Training Collar. A training collar is, for many submissives, the logical second
step that follows a short period of consideration and decision to move forward
into a more serious and committed relationship. It is a recognition that, while a
more intense and formal relationship is desired by both parties, there is still
much to be learned by the submissive before a formal collar can be offered.
During training, every action by a submissive in a training collar reflects directly
upon the Dominant, telegraphing to all his competence - or lack thereof – as a
trainer of submissives. This can also be a period of great stress and contention
as the Dominant and submissive adjust to their new roles in the relationship, and
learn to reconcile their expectations and preconceptions with reality. (See also:

Triad. A triad is any polyamorous relationship consisting of three people. Triad
relationships exist worldwide in many cultures, not just in the Poly or D/s
lifestyles. (See also: Polyamory)
Uniform Play. Uniform play refers to activities which utilize a uniform
paraphilia, or sexual arousal from either wearing or seeing others in a uniform.
The uniforms are typically those worn by military service members, police
officers, doctors, nurses, priests, schoolgirls, or the costumes worn by fictional
superheroes. Uniforms are frequently perceived as symbolic of authority,
integrity, discipline or power. Other times, as in the case of nurses, schoolgirls,
and priests, they may represent chastity, purity, innocence, or caring. The
arousal or emotions evoked by uniform play are sometimes used to add intensity
to abduction play, age play, interrogation play, medical play, or religious
fantasies. (See also: Abduction play, Age play, Interrogation play, Littles,
