Sex Magic(k) - a way to use sexual energy and sexual release (orgasm) as energetic fuel for a desired outcome, for connection, or for healing. from Gabriela Herstik for NYLON magazine
AudioPorn - audio-only porn
Vanilla Sex - synonymous with boring sex… “According to sex and sexuality historian Hallie Lieberman, the term ‘vanilla sex’ was coined by the queer commmunity of the 70s, which helped birth the kink movement. Queer people, historically told their sexual experiences were abnormal because they took place outside the binaried confines of hetero sex, decided to take a little power back for themselves.” from DIPSEA Blog
Scat (also “Scat Play”) - Any sexual activity involving feces. from BDSM Glossary
Consensual Non-Consent (CNC) - Any situation in which one person knowingly and voluntarily gives up the ability to prevent another person from doing whatever he or she wants; as, for example, deliberately engaging in activities which the submissive may be physically prevented from resisting and does not have a safe word. Some forms of rape play are consensual non-consent. Commentary: Consensual non-consent is still consent. A person who gives consent in this way is giving affirmative assent to engage in an activity that he or she will not be able to stop in the middle; it can be thought of as consenting to an activity in such a way that the consent may not be revoked. from BDSM Glossary
Pet Play - Any activity in which one or more participants takes on the role of a pet, such as in puppy play. from BDSM Glossary
Hentai - a sub-genre of Japanese manga, anime, computer games, etc., characterized by explicit sexual themes and imagery. from Dictionary.com
Aftercare - A period of time after intense BDSM activity in which the dominant partner cares for the submissive partner. Commentary: Some BDSM activities are physically challenging, psychologically intense, or both. After engaging in such activities, the submissive partner may need a safe psychological space to unwind and recover. Aftercare is the process of providing this safe space. from BDSM Glossary
