šŸ” What It Is: Electro-stimulation—or e-stim—is the use of mild electrical currents to stimulate nerve endings in erogenous zones. It can create tingling, pulsing, or vibrating sensations, and is often used in kink or BDSM scenes for intense, hands-free pleasure.


šŸ“œ Origin: Used in therapy as early as the 1700s, electrostimulation was adopted by kink communities in the 1990s with toys like violet wands and TENS units.


āœ… How-To Guide:

  • Use a violet wand or TENS unit

  • Start on low settings

  • Target safe zones: thighs, shaft, nipples

  • Avoid heart/chest

  • Combine with sensory play or bondage


šŸ”„He’s lying nude, wrists bound above his head. She trails the wand near his skin—not touching yet. His breath quickens. A sharp jolt hits his inner thigh, and he moans, back arching. The next charge zaps across his nipples, and she watches him writhe. His cock twitches as she hovers the wand at the base. Every nerve is alive, every breath a plea. ā€œYou’ll come from electricity alone,ā€ she promises—and he does, body trembling.


šŸŒ€ 2. Sounding


šŸ” What It Is: Sounding is the insertion of a smooth, sterile rod into the urethra (the opening of the penis or vulva) to stimulate internal nerve endings. For those with a penis, it can access the prostate from a unique angle. It’s a practice for experienced partners, often paired with dom/sub dynamics or medical play.


šŸ“œ Origin:Originally medical (1800s), sounding became eroticized in kink scenes for its intense, focused stimulation.


āœ… How-To Guide:

  • Use medical-grade steel sounds

  • Sterilize everything

  • Apply lots of sterile lube

  • Insert slowly and gently

  • Stop at discomfort and follow with aftercare


šŸ”„Laid bare, he breathes heavily as she slides the warm steel rod into his slit. Inch by inch, it penetrates, awakening nerves he didn’t know existed. She strokes his thighs as the sound pulses inside him. When she twists it just right, his entire body convulses. The orgasm hits hard, shooting through his spine like lightning, leaving him speechless and leaking with pleasure.


šŸ’¦ 3. Menstrual Play (Menophilia)


šŸ” What It Is: Menstrual play, also called menophilia, is engaging in sexual acts while one partner is on their period. This may include oral sex, penetration, or simply shared touch. It breaks taboo and can enhance connection through raw vulnerability and intense sensations.


šŸ“œ Origin:Seen as sacred in ancient Egypt and among Indigenous cultures, now embraced as a powerful form of intimacy.


āœ… How-To Guide:

  • Use red lighting, towels, and lube

  • Focus on slow touch and connection

  • Proceed to oral or penetration when comfortable

  • Include warm aftercare


šŸ”„ She’s spread across crimson sheets, thighs glistening. He dives between her legs, unapologetic, reverent. Blood coats his lips as he tastes her deeply. She moans louder with each stroke of his tongue, shocked by how raw and worshipped she feels. The orgasm that crashes through her is primal, sacred—something ancient in her body wakes.


✊ 4. Fisting


šŸ” What It Is: Fisting is the act of inserting a full hand into the vagina or anus. Though extreme to some, it offers a unique sense of fullness and intensity for those who crave deep pressure and control.


šŸ“œ Origin:Rose to popularity during the 1970s sexual revolution, especially in queer spaces valuing trust and exploration.


āœ… How-To Guide:

  • Trim nails, wear gloves

  • Start with fingers and work up

  • Form a ā€œbeakā€ shape with your hand

  • Use tons of lube

  • Breathe and communicate throughout


šŸ”„ She’s on all fours, trembling with anticipation. His fingers slide in—then more. She opens for him, bit by bit, until his whole hand disappears inside. Her eyes roll back, lost in the sensation of being completely filled. Her body tightens, then breaks open in release—an orgasm that roars through her like thunder. Her breath returns in gasps.




šŸ‘… 5. Rimming (Analingus)


šŸ” What It Is: Rimming involves oral stimulation of the anus using the lips and tongue. It’s often used in kink or dom/sub dynamics and can heighten intimacy and pleasure when done with consent and care.

šŸ“œ Origin:Practiced in Ancient Rome and revived by queer-positive sex culture.


āœ… How-To Guide:

  • Ensure cleanliness (shower, wipes, etc.)

  • Start with soft kisses

  • Circle with your tongue, explore gently

  • Add fingers if desired


šŸ”„He kneels behind her, spreading her cheeks slowly. She moans as his tongue flicks over her rim. The surprise of pleasure steals her breath. He eats her like it’s his final meal, and she melts beneath him, arching her hips into his face until her whole body shakes.


šŸ’‹ 6. Pegging


šŸ” What It Is: Pegging is when a person with a vulva uses a strap-on dildo to anally penetrate a person with a penis. It can reverse roles and stimulate the prostate for intense pleasure.


šŸ“œ Origin:Named by Dan Savage in 2001, though practiced long before. Embraces role reversal and prostate stimulation.


āœ… How-To Guide:

  • Start with small plugs

  • Use a comfortable strap-on

  • Apply lube generously

  • Go slow and stay vocal


šŸ”„ He bends over the edge of the bed, nervous but ready. She eases in, gripping his hips. When she starts to thrust, he moans—deep, guttural, shocked by how good it feels. Each movement brings him closer to an orgasm he’s never known. ā€œYou’re mine,ā€ she whispers. ā€œAll mine.ā€ And he knows she’s right.


šŸ”„ 7. Forced Orgasms


šŸ” What It Is: This involves pushing someone to orgasm multiple times in a row, often with toys or bondage, until they're overwhelmed by pleasure—even when they beg to stop.


šŸ“œ Origin: A classic BDSM technique, mixing domination with overstimulation.


āœ… How-To Guide:

  • Use restraints and a wand or toy

  • Keep going past the first climax

  • Use safe words and check in

  • Always follow with aftercare


šŸ”„ Her wrists are tied, her legs spread, the wand buzzing against her clit. One orgasm hits—then another. She screams, overwhelmed. He holds her down gently but firmly. ā€œJust one more,ā€ he says. She’s sobbing, laughing, coming again. When he stops, she melts in his arms, shattered in the most beautiful way.




šŸ‘ 8. Ballbusting

šŸ” What It Is: Ballbusting is the consensual act of hitting, slapping, or squeezing the testicles for erotic pain and psychological thrill—usually part of femdom or CBT (cock and ball torture).


šŸ“œ Origin:Long part of femdom and CBT (cock and ball torture) in kink scenes.


āœ… How-To Guide:

  • Start with gentle taps

  • Use hands or soft shoes

  • Watch body language and use safewords

  • Pair with sensual praise


šŸ”„ He stands tall. She kicks lightly, then harder. His face twists with pain—and pleasure. She cups his balls after each hit, whispering sweet nothings. ā€œYou’re so good for me,ā€ she purrs. He nods, desperate, dripping from the mix of agony and arousal.


šŸ”— 9. Cuckolding


šŸ” What It Is: Cuckolding is when one partner (often male) watches their partner have sex with someone else. It can involve power play, humiliation, or compersion (joy in your partner’s pleasure).


šŸ“œ Origin:Featured in Shakespeare and ancient Greek plays; now used for domination, humiliation, and voyeuristic arousal.

āœ… How-To Guide:

  • Start with fantasy or dirty talk

  • Define rules clearly

  • Build to live scenarios if desired

  • Use aftercare to maintain connection


šŸ”„ She straddles her lover, eyes locked on her husband. ā€œWatch me,ā€ she moans. He sits, stroking himself, breathless. Her cries grow louder. Her climax is exaggerated, dripping with performative lust. He doesn’t mind. He loves seeing her that free—and that taken.


✨ 10. Double Penetration

šŸ” What It Is: Double penetration is when two objects (or partners) simultaneously enter a person—one vaginally, one anally. It creates extreme fullness and total surrender.


šŸ“œ Origin:A longstanding threesome fantasy seen in ancient Roman art and modern adult media.


āœ… How-To Guide:

  • Use toys or two partners

  • One goes vaginal, one anal

  • Synchronize movement

  • Use lube generously and take breaks


šŸ”„ She’s suspended between them, each thrust pushing her deeper into madness. Her breath is gone. Her body doesn’t know where to focus. She’s filled to capacity—every inch claimed. She comes hard, sobbing with pleasure, surrounded by bodies, heat, and rhythm.


😳 11. Prostate Milking


šŸ” What It Is: Prostate milking is stimulating the prostate (inside the rectum) to produce a deep, full-body orgasm—often with little to no penile contact.


šŸ“œ Origin:Rooted in Taoist practices and clinical prostate health—turned erotic when combined with arousal.


āœ… How-To Guide:

  • Use a gloved, lubed finger or toy

  • Curve toward the belly button

  • Apply rhythmic pressure

  • Look for hands-free orgasm


šŸ”„She strokes his inner wall in tiny pulses. He moans louder with each movement, eyes fluttering shut. When the climax comes, it’s not a burst—it’s an eruption. His whole body trembles. ā€œYou didn’t even touch my dick,ā€ he says, breathless. She smiles. ā€œDidn’t have to.ā€




🪶 12. Knismolagnia (Tickle Fetish)


Knismolagnia (Tickle Fetish)

šŸ” What It Is: A kink for tickling or being tickled—especially when it teeters between pleasure and torture. It’s usually paired with bondage or sensory denial.


šŸ“œ Origin:Appears in Victorian erotica and fetish literature. Often linked to power exchange and playfulness.


āœ… How-To Guide:

  • Use restraints or blindfold

  • Feather, brush, or fingertips

  • Switch between teasing and kissing

  • Transition into release


šŸ”„ Blindfolded, she writhes, laughing uncontrollably. But when the feather brushes her inner thigh, laughter turns to gasps. He teases her, never touching her clit—until she begs, red-faced and panting. ā€œPlease,ā€ she whines. And then finally—release.


šŸ· 13. Orgy Play


šŸ” What It Is: Orgy play involves consensual sex among three or more people, often in a group setting or party where pleasure is shared communally.


šŸ“œ Origin:Rooted in Dionysian cults and Roman pleasure festivals—today’s orgies thrive in swinger and ENM circles.


āœ… How-To Guide:

  • Attend a vetted, ethical event

  • Practice consent, boundaries, and safe sex

  • Debrief after with your partner


šŸ”„ She’s lost in the haze of bodies—mouths kissing her, hands gripping, skin everywhere. She surrenders fully, not to one person, but to pleasure itself. When she comes, it’s with someone holding her arms, another kissing her lips, and everyone surrounding her like worshippers.
