06/05/2025 3 min read

Sassy. Saucy. Straight to the point. Whether you’re just curious or dying to kneel, this is your naughty crash course into the world of domination, submission, and delicious control.


1. BDSM

An acronym for Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadism, and Masochism. The kinky umbrella under which all the fun begins.

2. Domme (or Dominatrix)

The woman in charge. She doesn’t ask — she commands. And you want to obey.

3. Submissive (Sub)

The willing one who gives up control. Obedient, eager, and hungry to please.

4. Consent

Nothing happens without it. The sexiest word in the entire kink dictionary.

5. Safe Word

A pre-agreed word that means “Stop right now.” Like a parachute. Use it proudly.

6. Aftercare

The soft bit after the rough stuff — cuddles, water, kisses, reassurance. Essential.

7. Limits (Hard & Soft)

Hard: absolutely not. Soft: maybe, with the right partner. Know yours, respect theirs.

8. Scene

A kinky session. Could last minutes or hours. Planned, played, and sometimes… replayed.

9. Impact Play

All the spanks, slaps, whips, and paddles. Sting, thud, moan, repeat.

10. Bondage

Ropes, cuffs, tape — anything that keeps someone delightfully restrained.

11. Spanking

Simple. Effective. A lovely red arse is its own reward.

12. Flogging

A whip with tails. Sensual or savage, depending on the mood (and the wrist).

13. Collar

More than a necklace. It can symbolise ownership, submission, or devotion.

14. Chastity

Lock it up. No touching. No cumming. Until she decides you’ve earned it.

15. Power Exchange

One gives up power, the other takes it — all consensual, all thrilling.

16. Dominance

Control, command, presence. Doesn’t need to shout — a look is enough.

17. Submission

Letting go. Offering yourself to someone you trust — body, mind, and moans.

18. Switch

Both sides of the coin. Dominant one day, submissive the next. Lucky bastard.

19. Vanilla

Non-kinky sex. Lovely in its own way. Just not where we’re going.

20. RACK (Risk-Aware Consensual Kink)

You know the risks, you accept them, and you play safe. Respect.

21. Dungeon

A play space for grown-up games. Leather, steel, toys… and no judgement.

22. Pet Play

Wearing a tail, crawling, purring, or barking. Be a good girl/boy/pup.

23. Sissification

Dressing up a sub (often male) in hyper-feminine gear for control, humiliation, or play.

24. Financial Domination (Findom)

She drains your wallet — and you thank her for it. Power through pounds.

25. CBT (Cock and Ball Torture)

Exactly what it says on the tin. Only for the bravest crown jewels.

26. Tease and Denial

Get them worked up… then stop. Repeat. Cruel? Yes. Delicious? Also yes.

27. Humiliation

Verbal degradation, embarrassment, exposure — but always with permission and purpose.

28. Begging

A fine art. When done right, it’s music to a Domme’s ears.

29. Edge Play

Pushing physical or mental limits. Dangerous territory — for experienced players only.

30. Needle Play

Piercing the skin. Not for the faint-hearted. A very specific kind of high.

31. Wax Play

Dripping hot candle wax onto skin. Warm, stingy, sensual. Always use the right wax!

32. Breath Play

Controlling oxygen for heightened sensations. Risky, intense, and must be done safely.

33. Gag

A device that silences — ball, bit, or tape. Because sometimes, subs talk too much.

34. Blindfold

Take away sight and everything else feels stronger. Anticipation is a drug.

35. Restraints

Cuffs, ropes, straps. If you can’t move, you feel more. Trust the bind.

36. Sadism

Pleasure in giving pain. A whip in one hand, a grin in the other.

37. Masochism

Pleasure in receiving pain. Moans, welts, tears — and loving every second.

38. Rules

A Domme’s to-do list for you. Break them, and punishment comes next.

39. Obedience

Not just following orders — craving them. The dance of control and submission.

40. Training

Teaching a submissive how to serve, kneel, behave — and beg better.

41. Protocol

The expected behaviour in a Dom/sub dynamic. It’s not just play — it’s ritual.

42. Topping from the Bottom

When a submissive tries to control the session. Naughty. And not in the fun way.

43. Public Play

A discreet kink session in public — hidden in plain sight. Risky and hot.

44. Play Partner

Someone you kink with. May or may not be your romantic partner.

45. Scene Drop

That post-kink crash when the endorphins wear off. Rest, hydrate, cuddle. It’ll pass.

46. Subspace

A floaty, high state submissives can enter during intense play. Like a kinky trance.

47. Domspace

The Dominant’s focused, heady, powerful high during a scene. Control is the drug.

48. Consent Violation

When someone crosses a boundary without permission. Never okay. Ever.

49. Safeword Check

A quick pause to make sure everything’s still consensual and fun. Essential.

50. Kink

Anything outside the norm that gets you off. Fun, thrilling, and uniquely yours.
