Edgeplay is probably one of the most exciting types of play in BDSM. This is partly because it is very dangerous for body and soul to "play" in such a way. Edge means edge, boundary or also edge. So when you venture into edgeplay, you are playing dangerous, borderline games that can involve real injuries.
Who does edgeplay
Edgeplay is done by many different people. People with very different preferences and pasts. Some are just looking for that special kick. Another is simply into pain, still others love to be able to exercise power. Others look forward to playing with their lives. Everyone has to find out for themselves why this is so.
Edgeplay game forms
There are many different forms of edgeplay. Ultimately, they all involve power, fear, pain and danger. It can even lead to death, you should always be aware of this!
Breathplay
Breathplay is the game with the breath air. Here the air is robbed from the sub. Some simply hold their mouth and nose shut for a certain time, others squeeze their throat shut by choking their partner. Strangulation is also possible. Here, death by suffocation could be imminent. So always watch out for signs and release your playmate in time!
Bloodplay
Yes, blood is desired here! Everything that makes you bleed makes your playmates really hot. Knifeplay, cutting, needleplay, all this can include bloodplay. If skin areas are cut, pricked or even severed, this carries a great risk of infection. Especially with Knifeplay, the knife can slip or cut too deep. Serious injuries are imminent!
Waxplay
Waxplay is probably one of the most harmless variants of edgeplay. There is a risk of burns from wax that is too hot. As a rule, however, the injuries remain superficial. Meanwhile, there are also special massage candles, here the wax is then a hot oil, which is rather pleasant, instead of painful. A good proof that edgeplay does not always have to escalate.
Barebacking
Barebacking is a very dangerous game. Here you deliberately forego contraception and take the risk of contracting diseases. Always be aware that not all diseases are curable!
Rapeplay
Rapeplay means to act out a rape. Very appealing to many women and men, because it makes unspoken dreams come true. One can be taken hard and violently. Many men can show their power and prove their masculinity through this. But there are also physical and especially psychological dangers.
Physical dangers with Edgeplay
Physical injuries are imminent in almost every type of edgeplay. It is always related to pain. Depending on which form you choose, you should take appropriate precautions beforehand. You must always have everything you need for wound care and, if necessary, pre-dial emergency numbers.
Cuts or stabs that are too deep, burns, chemical burns, or even lack of oxygen due to choking for too long can occur. In the worst case, you can injure your play partner so badly that he or she dies. The risks should always be kept as low as possible. With edgeplay, however, this is a real challenge.
Mental dangers in edgeplay
It is not only physical injuries that need to be looked at. Playing with fear, for example, can cause severe psychological disorders. Edgeplay experiences of any kind always do something to our souls.
Therefore, the person must be well caught and cared for afterwards. Aftercare in any respect must never be neglected. The aftercare can also be drawn out over many weeks. Just until the person is well again.
Get professional help
If someone suffers psychological damage after edgeplay that does not want to heal, professional help must be sought. Seeing a psychiatrist is not out of the question. In the case of physical injuries, it is sometimes necessary to go to the doctor. Close your eyes and get through it is the motto here.
If you play dangerously, you must be able to stand by it. Never, but also really never!!! Should hesitate to dial the emergency number (112) if something goes wrong and the life of a person is in danger.
