In this post, we go over what is abrasion play in BDSM.
What is Abrasion Play in BDSM?
Abrasions can refer to sexual arousal derived from contact with rough substances. This practice can take place between individuals or involve the use of materials such as rough wool or thistles. However caution must be exercised when using abrasive products like sandpaper or steel wool as they have the potential to cause permanent injury.
Birching is an example of an abrasion game where a person is struck or brushed with twigs and leaves. Similarly handfuls of sand may be used in a similar activity.
Generally, as long as the skin remains unbroken, engaging in abrasion is considered relatively safe. However, if the skin becomes broken, even in small areas. It becomes crucial to disinfect and protect the affected area as if it were an open wound to prevent infections. Failing to provide proper care can lead to lifelong scarring.
Examples of Abrasion Play
- Before a spot of waxing, a gentle, gentle awakening of the skin with a hairbrush
- Perhaps use the fine side of an emery board on a pair of ass cheeks before lavishing them with love and a gentle flogging?
Whatever game you choose, make sure it’s SSC and that you have your first aid kit on hand in case something goes wrong. Keep in mind that abrasion play can result in bleeding, so keep this in mind and wear gloves to avoid contracting HIV or other STDs.
