Sex Dictionary
Clear, judgment-free definitions of intimacy and sexuality terms adults actually search for.
Aftercare
The emotional and physical care partners give each other after sex or intense play — water, warmth, reassurance, and time to settle.
Consensual non-consent (CNC)
Role-play in which partners agree in advance to act out a scenario where one appears not to consent. Real consent is negotiated first and can be revoked at any moment.
Edging
Deliberately easing off stimulation just before orgasm, then building arousal again. Used to extend pleasure and learn how arousal rises and falls.
Primal play
Instinct-led intimacy — chasing, wrestling, growling, biting — where partners drop polished technique and follow raw impulses within agreed limits.
Soft swap
In partner swapping, exchanging partners for kissing, touch, or oral play only — penetrative sex stays within the original couple.
