Sensation play

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Sensation play is a form of BDSM activity that involves stimulating the senses for sexual pleasure. It can involve a wide range of activities, from the use of feathers or silk to create a soft sensation, to the use of ice cubes or hot wax for a more intense experience. Sensation play can also involve the use of blindfolds or gags to heighten the other senses.

Types of Sensation Play[edit | edit source]

There are many different types of sensation play, each with its own unique set of sensations and experiences. Some of the most common types include:

  • Temperature play: This involves using heat or cold to stimulate the senses. This can be done with items like ice cubes, hot wax, or even with the use of a flogger that has been chilled or heated.
  • Tactile stimulation: This involves using different textures to stimulate the skin. This can be done with items like feathers, silk, or even rougher materials like sandpaper.
  • Sensory deprivation: This involves reducing or removing one or more of the senses to heighten the others. This can be done with items like blindfolds, gags, or earplugs.

Safety[edit | edit source]

Like all BDSM activities, sensation play should be done with the consent of all parties involved. It's important to establish a safeword before beginning any sensation play activities. This is a word or phrase that can be used to stop the activity immediately if it becomes too intense or uncomfortable.

In addition, it's important to be aware of the risks associated with certain types of sensation play. For example, temperature play can potentially cause burns if not done carefully, and sensory deprivation can cause disorientation or panic in some people.
