Everything you need to know about Edge Play

Edge play is an extreme form of sexual activity that falls under BDSM. It involves trying riskier activities for pleasure, arousal and stimulation. So if you're interested in Edge play or just want to know more about it, read on.

What is Edge Play?

The first thing to know about edge play is that it's very subjective. The term essentially means "pushing or being pushed beyond one's comfort zone, but that, of course, can be different for everyone.

What drives you to the edge may be someone else's 'normal'. And because people have their own personal limitations and definitions of what is considered risky, the only person who can determine what your Edge Play looks like is yourself. In general, though, anything that involves intense, consensual physical or psychological pain is typically considered Edge Play.

What constitutes Edge Play?

By now, you know that Edge Play varies from person to person, but there are a few different types of sex and activities that generally always count. Typically, it's anything involving blood, as well as the use of knives or needles during sex, which fall under the Edge Play category. Here are some of the more common variations:

• Blood game
• Swap roles
• No consensual consent
• knife game
• Rope game
• Fire play
• Temperature game
• Golden shower
• Scat play
• Wax game
• Forced orgasms
• Orgasm denial
• Ruined orgasms
• Breathing game

Again, it's super important to note that not only is consent an absolute must, but we also warn that many of these acts can be super dangerous, especially the breathing game. whenever you are suffocating someone without the proper grip, you have the potential to collapse their windpipe, which can quickly lead to serious consequences or death.

So while breath play is commonly seen in pornography or movies, BDSM professionals don't advise trying it, especially for beginners. A good alternative is to hold your breath for 10 seconds - that way you control when you can and can't breathe.

As for everything on this list, we advise that you and your partner agree to a safe word before engaging in anything sexual. This safe word will let your partner know when something is going too far and you want to stop. Some examples of safe words are "red" or "pineapple" or a double tap on your partner's leg if you can't speak.

What is the difference between Edge Play and Edging?

While Edge Play looks a lot like edging, the two activities are actually very different. Edging refers to delaying orgasm for as long as possible in order to have a more intense orgasm - in fact, it's a great way to increase the intensity and duration of your orgasms.

What safety precautions do you need to take with edge play?

Understandably, there are many precautions you need to be aware of when practicing Edge Play. Knowing a person's physical and mental health history, having a deep understanding of the game you're embarking on, having safety essentials (like scissors if you're using rope) within reach, plus having a first aid kit first aid and information on how to use it.

Also, you'll want to practice RACK, which is the more BDSM acronym that stands for "risk conscious consensual twist". The general premise of RACK is not that you find a way to eliminate all risks, but that you holistically consider all risks that may arise. So, before starting, you must decide how you want to manage these risks and if this is a risk that is good for you. It's basically like discussing the worst-case scenario before the worst-case scenario can happen.

What are the risks associated with Edge Play?

The biggest risk is seriously injuring your partner or being injured physically or physiologically beyond agreed expectations. This can result in lasting trauma and/or death, and is something to be considered with the utmost seriousness. Discussing exactly how to handle an incident if something goes wrong, as well as implementing safe words and sometimes additional signals, is vital.

Getting Started with Edge Play

Edge Play requires a lot of talking, negotiating, understanding, and agreeing. We do not recommend exploring edge play unless you are very attracted to the idea and have a deep level of trust and understanding with your partner.

Edge play can damage even the most trusted relationships, so doing it with someone you don't know well, or if you're not sure you want to, can lead to serious consequences. In other words, it's best not to get involved in pranks with someone you've just met. Before getting started with Edge Play, we suggest you discuss with your partner:

Whether or not you are comfortable going to the "limit" of this type of game.

⦁ What is "Edge Play" for you.
⦁ What experience do you want to have.
⦁ Why do you want to give or receive this experience.
⦁ What are the expected results of this type of game.
⦁ Trade everything that may come up.
⦁ Describe your safe words, signals and plan in case something goes wrong.
⦁ Aftercare plan.
