Glossary of Sex and Sexuality
Sex Toys, Sexual Health and Sexual Practices...


The medical community, by its very nature, views individual sexual preference and actual sex practices from a purely health perspective...

On the other hand, psychologists will view paraphilias as compulsives, while within the varied communities falling under the umbrella of BDSM (bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadomasochism, and the like...).

For example, there are those whom feel they don't fall into either category since they only engage in certain sexual activities for experimentation purposes.

The sexual fantasies of any one or more individuals know no bounds, and almost any sexual activity can be engaged in for any one of a number of reasons, such as:

  • Coercion from a partner or elder
  • Religious or sexual ritual
  • Sexual experimentation
  • Supplementing of more traditional penis/vaginal sex
  • Building of one's sexual self-esteem
  • Reducing sexual stress and tension
  • Revenge, sexual or otherwise
  • Self control or control over others
  • Personal status and sexual ego

In most parts of our society today, the sexual activities that two or more consenting adults choose to partake in are no longer limited to or dictated by arbitrary and often cruel rules based on religious beliefs. Nevertheless, there remain two important constraints on any human sexual behavior.

1) One person should not coerce another into any sort of sexual activity. Older individuals must never use their physical or emotional power over children and adolescents to obtain sexual services, or to initiate sexual habits which, although pleasurable, may diminish a young person's personal freedom of choice later in life.

2) People must not be led by their sexual drives to dangerous or mutilating practices that they subsequently regret.

What follows is a rather comprehensive list of brief definitions for a wide range of normal and perhaps not so normal sexual practices, sex and sexuality, sexual health and yes, sex toy related terms.

The information contained within the Sex, Toys and Adult Entertainment Glossary of sex and sexuality, sex toys, sexual health and sexual practices, preferences and perversions is only as accurate as the sources relied upon, and as such is presented as much for its adult entertainment value as for any educational purpose it may hold.
