Cock-and-ball torture (CBT) refers to the BDSM practice of inflicting/causing pain or discomfort to the penis and testicles. Dominants will make use of this activity with their submissives/slaves, mostly by a Dominatrix. The scrotum and penis are full of nerve endings, making them extremely sensitive. For some people the very thought of CBT makes them cringe, whilst for others, particularly masochists, the idea of being hurt in their 'nether' regions is highly erotic and very pleasurable.

Castration play is NOT for everyone and definitely sits at the more extreme end of the fetish scale!  Within the BDSM context, it can be only 'play, but there are masochists who are willing to experience severe body modification processes and have actual medical procedures done to them, in order to live out this fantasy. This involves plenty of risk for the person whose testicles are being restricted, cut, or modified. Castration play is all about intense fantasies and extreme pain.

Caging is a common BDSM practice used by Dominants to place/confine their submissives/slaves in a cage (similar to an animal kennel, hanging cage, or other devices).  It is used by a Dominant to express ownership and control over their submissive/slave and usually when that slave/submissive has disobeyed an instruction or not completed a task. It is also a piece of equipment/furniture that is used to place a submissive/slave in a position of humiliation and can be used for various other activities including public degradation. It is a form of discipline for the submissive/slave.

The first thing to ask yourself before engaging in this type of BDSM activity is whether you want a 'surface burn', which will fade in time, or are you going for body modification procedures that will be permanent. Whilst tattoos and piercings are popular, branding is still something that is reserved for extreme sadists and masochists. Branding is a specialized process and requires the skill and expertise of a professional. Branding is burning the surface of a person's skin to leave a permanent mark. Due to the level of pain, extreme masochists love this type of play.

Anal torture is the BDSM practice of inflicting pain or pleasure by stimulating the anus or anal canal. Anal torture is considered to be riskier than some other BDSM activities due to the sensitive area surrounding and in the anus. Anal torture can be inflicted with a variety of instruments designed to penetrate the anus such as anal probes, dildos, anal beads, and butt plugs. Other instruments, such as needles, hooks, or pokers are also often used.

Boot worship is the extreme love of boots, typically by a submissive/slave worshipping the Dominant wearing them. It also involves foot fetishes. Boot worship is often seen in Femdom relationships where slaves/submissives can be seen licking, kissing, and cleaning the boots of their Mistress.  Kissing and licking a Dominant's boots is considered an extreme form of humiliation due to the low stature of the feet. Boot worship takes the humiliation and surrender of a submissive/slave to a sexual level.  Some even consider it a sacred space.

Blackmail as it stands is a criminal offence. However, in the BDSM community, it is a fantasy that can be reenacted in a role-playing scenario. Usually, this is a role-playing scene between a pro-Domme and a submissive/slave. A Dominatrix has some juicy or potentially harmful/damaging information concerning her submissive/slave and will financially blackmail him into paying her or giving her gifts in order for her silence.

This refers to a Dominant using a belt to spank/whip their submissive/slave.  It is also referred to as 'STRAPPING'.  It is usually made from a strip of heavy leather, often with a handle. A broader toy made from leather is usually referred to as a paddle, but these can be made from other materials.  Belt spanking/whipping forms part of the BDSM activities that involve and include Impact Play.

Bastinado, also known as foot whipping or Falanga/Falaka, is a practice in the BDSM community where the soles of a person's feet are subjected to whipping and beating, in most cases using a crop, whip, or cane. In addition, the submissive/slave's feet are tied up and exposed. It is a form of foot fetish which traces its roots to Middle Eastern and Far Eastern torture practices. The sole of a person's foot is lined with nerve endings. It is very sensitive to pleasure and pain. A light whip can be felt throughout the entire body.

Also known as Analingus.  It is a form of oral sex where one partner stimulates the other partner's anus sexually with their tongue. It can also be referred to as 'tossing the salad' or 'rim job'. Rimming, like all sexual activities, carries some risks. Because fecal bacteria may be found on the anus and perineum, partners who perform/give rimming, may contract gastrointestinal illnesses. Rimming can also spread sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as herpes and syphilis.
