Examples of Sensation Play
In BDSM play, the Top (or Dominant) introduces and controls the sensation to the Bottom (or Submissive).
- Two partners exploring the sensations of kissing or other intimacy while blindfolded
- Unusual textures such as feathers, silk, or leather
- Erotic tickling
- Sensory deprivation such as mummification
- Contact with intense temperatures, such as ice or hot wax
- Biting and clawing
- Whips, flogging, bondage suspension and other BDSM related activities.
- Clamping parts of the body with clothespins, forceps, nipple clamps or similar devices.
- Other implements that may not be normally be used in this fashion, such as an electric toothbrush. These items may be referred to as pervertibles within the BDSM community.
The sensation can come from just about anywhere, provided that the implement and its use fall within the negotiated terms of the interaction or relationship. Sensation play is limited only by one's own imagination and a lot of variation can occur from one play scene to the next. For example, chains could be left in a freezer for some time and then laid across the body of a bottom or submissive. Or the chain could just be brought out of a bag and run across the body or perhaps just rattled loudly to invoke a response.

“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”

“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“We look at the dance to impart the sensation of living in an affirmation of life, to energize the spectator into keener awareness of the vigor, the mystery, the humor, the variety, and the wonder of life. This is the function of the American dance.”
—Martha Graham (1894–1991)
“In my dreams is a country where the State is the Church and the Church the people: three in one and one in three. It is a commonwealth in which work is play and play is life: three in one and one in three. It is a temple in which the priest is the worshiper and the worshiper the worshipped: three in one and one in three. It is a godhead in which all life is human and all humanity divine: three in one and one in three.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
