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.

Rabbit Vibrator:
... Perhaps the sexiest and most well-known vibrator today, the Rabbit Vibrator was popularized by an episode of the now classic series Sex and the City.

Despite breaking into the mainstream in recent years, the rabbit vibrator has been buzzing women’s clits for years. This rabbit vibrator is actually just one of a veritable menagerie of elegantly-crafted battery vibrators often referred to as dual-action toys because they are designed to simultaneously stimulate a woman’s clit and pussy.

Dual-action vibrators originated in Japan, where it was illegal to make a sex toy that resembled genitalia, so the toys were (and still are) often sculpted to look like sea or wildlife creatures. Typically a "rabbit vibe' will twirl the shaft while the bunny’s ears flutter against the clitoris. The dildo portion also houses some colorful, tumbling balls which can help stimulate a woman’s G-spot.

Rubber:
... after leather, easily the most popular material fetish going, though it tends to be more popular in Europe, where items can be obtained reasonably cheaply, than in US, where they are very expensive.

It mainly takes the form of an interest in clothing, hoods and bondage items made out of latex sheeting and, as with leather, black is the most popular colour. Most clothing is purpose made, often in imitation of more conventional styles, but some items, such as all in one suits, are peculiar to the fetish community.
