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.
