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

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.

Leather:
... material made from the cured skin of animals is a popular sexual fetish and may combine some natural appeal with the social associations of particularly black leather with power and masculinity.
