Knife Play

Our Definition

play involving knives, daggers, and swords or other bladed implements as a source of physical and mental stimulation.

Not to be confused with Edge Play.

Common Practices & Experiences

Everyone is different! You'll see this repeated throughout our website and glossary. Common knife play practices include, but certainly aren't limited to:
  • Learning about safe handling of the weapon being played with 
  • Having a first aid kit on hand 
  • Pre-established agreement about limits and whether the play is expected to break the skin or not. 
  • Pre-established safe words 

Gerry loves the feeling of the blunt side of a cold steel blade on their skin.

Damien and Hal are trained in stage combat, and enjoy incorporating swordplay into their kink dynamic.

We want your take!

Help us improve the glossary! We're looking for:

  • Anecdotes for kinks in practice, tell us about a scene or an interaction that you feel best illustrates an entry
  • Suggestions for topics to add
  • Short stories to help illustrate each glossary entry - true or fictional stories that demonstrate a topic. (1 page, tops!)
  • Folks who disagree - tell us why we're wrong!

We want to illustrate as many sides of kink as we can to both normalize kink, sexuality, and the diversity within it all, and we can't do that alone!

Make sure to sign your name as you want author credit if we publish your submission!
