Body worship

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Body Worship is a practice often associated with BDSM and other sexual activities, but it can also be found in various religious and spiritual contexts. It involves the adoration or reverence of a person's body, or specific parts of the body.

Definition and Practice[edit | edit source]

Body worship in a sexual context often involves a submissive partner showing reverence and adoration to the dominant partner's body. This can involve kissing, licking, massaging, or otherwise physically adoring the body of the dominant partner. The specific body parts that are focused on can vary widely, and can include the feet, buttocks, breasts, or genitals.

In a religious or spiritual context, body worship can involve the reverence of the human body as a divine creation. This can be seen in various religions and spiritual practices, such as Tantra, where the body is seen as a microcosm of the universe.

Body Worship in BDSM[edit | edit source]

In the context of BDSM, body worship is often a part of the power exchange between a dominant and submissive partner. The submissive partner may be instructed to worship the dominant partner's body as a form of submission and service. This can involve a variety of activities, including foot worship, ass worship, breast worship, and genital worship.

Body Worship in Religion and Spirituality[edit | edit source]

In various religions and spiritual practices, the human body is seen as a divine creation and is therefore worthy of reverence and worship. This can be seen in practices such as Tantra, where the body is seen as a microcosm of the universe and is therefore revered as such.

In some forms of Paganism, body worship can involve the reverence of the body as a representation of the divine. This can involve rituals and practices that honor the body and its various functions.
