Common Practices

Everyone is different! You'll see this repeated throughout our website and glossary. Common practices involving play collars include, but certainly aren't limited to:
  • Made from sturdy materials.
  • Functional for in scene purposes such as tugging
  • May include bells that jingle during play 
  • May have a D ring which can easily attach to a leash 
  • May not look like a “vanilla” accessory” and/or May be conspicuous if worn as daywear, depending on the wearer’s typical aesthetic. 

Sophia has a one inch leather bondage play collar that her partner can tug hard on without damaging.

Emma enjoys hooking a leash to her submissive partner’s play collar. 
Joey is not in a committed D/s dynamic but enjoys wearing a collar during pet play with his casual partners.

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!
