Edgeplay

Edgeplay is a term used in the context of BDSM to refer to activities that push or even cross the boundaries of the traditional safe, sane, and consensual creed. It is often associated with a higher degree of risk, physical or psychological harm, compared to other BDSM activities.

Definition

The term "edgeplay" is subjective and varies among individuals. What is considered edgeplay by one person may be well within comfort zones for another. It is generally agreed upon that edgeplay involves a higher degree of risk, either physical or emotional.

Types of Edgeplay

There are several types of edgeplay, including but not limited to:

• Breath play: This involves the dominant partner controlling the submissive partner's ability to breathe.
• Knife play: This involves the use of knives or other sharp instruments to induce fear or actual harm.
• Fire play: This involves the use of fire to create physical sensations.
• Gun play: This involves the use of guns to induce fear or actual harm.

Safety

Edgeplay is not without its risks. It is important for all parties involved to fully understand and consent to the risks involved. Safety measures should be in place, and a safe word should always be used to ensure the submissive partner can end the activity at any time.
