GLOSSARY – Kink, Fetish & BDSM from A to Z
Glossary
BREATH CONTROL
Breath Control refers to the deliberate control or restriction of breathing as an erotic or BDSM practice. The body responds to breath restriction with an immediate rise in adrenaline, heightened bodily sensation, and a state of increased awareness that many people experience as extremely erotic.
CHASTITY PLAY
Chastity Play refers to BDSM practices in which access to orgasm or sexual stimulation is controlled or prevented through physical or psychological means.
CUCKOLDING
Cuckolding refers to an erotic practice in which a person – the cuckold – watches or learns that their partner is having sex with someone else. The appeal lies in the combination of jealousy, voyeurism, and, for many people, an element of humiliation or loss of control.
CNC – CONSENSUAL NON-CONSENT
CNC stands for Consensual Non-Consent. It refers to BDSM scenarios in which a person acts as though they aren't consenting – while everyone involved has explicitly agreed to it beforehand.
CANDAULISM
Candaulism refers to the erotic practice in which a person deliberately shows or displays their partner to a third person – live, through photos, or through descriptions.

DOUBLE DOMME
A Double Domme session refers to a BDSM encounter in which two dominant escorts together lead, challenge, and control a submissive person.

DOMINATRIX
A Dominatrix refers to a woman who professionally shapes dominant BDSM sessions with genuine authority — she leads, challenges, and controls the submissive person with the experience and presence this role requires.
ELECTROSTIMULATION
Electrostimulation refers to the controlled use of electrical impulses as an erotic or BDSM practice. Weak electrical discharges create a tingling, warmth, or brief pain impulses on the skin.
EROTIC WRESTLING
Erotic Wrestling refers to physical wrestling between two or more people with an erotic or BDSM component. It's about physical strength, control, closeness, and the fight for dominance — who ends up on top, who yields.
FINDOM – FINANCIAL DOMINATION
Findom refers to a form of power dynamic in which money is used as an instrument of dominance and submission. The dominant person — often called a Money Mistress or financial domme — controls the submissive person's financial resources.
FACESITTING
Facesitting — also known as queening — refers to the practice of one person sitting on another's face — with the buttocks, vulva, or anal area. It's one of the most direct forms of physical dominance and submission.
FEMDOM – FEMALE DOMINATION
Femdom — short for Female Domination — refers to BDSM dynamics in which a woman takes on the dominant role and exercises control over one or more submissive partners.
HIGH PROTOCOL
High Protocol refers to a particularly strictly formalized D/s dynamic with fixed forms of address, clear behavioral rules, and a consistent ceremonial structure.
