BDSM offers unlimited ways of exploring sexual expression. This lifestyle gives you the chance to expand boundaries and discover unknown pleasures, pains, and a host of sensations. Within the realm of BDSM, there are a plethora of exotic kinks and fetishes.

Types of age play scenes may involve infantilism (adult baby), daddy/daughter play, and diaper play, where one partner plays a significantly younger actor in the BDSM scene while the other garners a more adult-like role.  

• Altocalciphilia is a high-heel lovers kink. This fetish is associated with excessive-high heels and is mostly worn by women, but not always.

For more conventional BDSM enthusiasts, the use of wrist cuffs, ankle cuffs, and thigh cuffs can be used. However, for those ardent BDSM partners, some enjoy full-body vacuum beds or suspension rigs. Bondage may also include specially designed furniture to help restrain a partner and keep them immobile.
