Knife Play can be translated as knife game. So when people talk about a game on a knife's edge, there's a lot of truth behind it. However, knife play doesn't necessarily involve the use of a knife. In fact, there are other ways to play in this area.
Knifeplay what does it mean?
Knife play is not always the same as knife play. Of course, the origin already lies in the fact that it comes to sexual acts in connection with a knife. In the meantime, however, there are many variations. For example, even shaving each other can already be considered Knifeplay, Or removing wax on the skin, with a blunt blade.
It is clear that it is a kind of kinky sex. Talk about a knife kink. This is part of BDSM and expresses a power imbalance. Clearly, the part with the knife or the, knife-like tool, is the top. The dominant part has it in the hand, to what extent he inflicts suffering on his bottom, / makes fear.
Whoever has already dealt with the collective term Edgeplay, might have come across Knife Kink in it. Because the knife play is connected with danger and fear (Fearplay).
Knife play can also include impact play, because the wide blades are ideal for striking. However, it can also be brought to real bleeding. This is then the so-called Blood Play.
Here, a blade is used to make stabs or cuts in the skin. Sometimes the Knifeplay belongs however also simply only to a role play. Often tools like big kitchen knives, razors or other blades are used in rapeplay.
Knifeplay is very appealing for both parts
Knifeplay has its appeal for all participants. It is part of the sadomaso realm. The sadist takes pleasure in dishing out pain and fear. It is a special attraction for him to threaten the masochist with the blade, to see the fear in his eyes and possibly even to see and possibly taste the blood.
The submissive part, in that case the masochist, enjoys it when his body releases the adrenaline from excitement and fear. A kind of happy hormone is formed, which eventually brings the body to complete satisfaction. Moreover, the sub enjoys not only the fear, but also the knowledge of being exposed to a danger. And the pain also plays a role, because the beating, stabbing or cutting brings a kind of intoxication.
What is needed for Knifeplay
You need yourself, your play partner, confidence, courage, and a blade of some sort. It doesn't have to be a knife, it can even just be a plastic scraper or something similar. Especially at the beginning it is recommended not to reach for a real blade right away. Wax and also bondage ropes can be considered as further aids. A strong psyche and physical health are basic requirements to dive into this risky game world.

What to consider when playing Knife Play
Very importantly, only start this game with someone you can really trust blindly. Do not start the Knifeplay with strangers! Beforehand, you should agree on what exactly you expect from the knife play. Should it only be a scary stimulus? Are punches / slaps to be dealt? Should cuts and stabs be implied or even made to flow blood?
If you agree on what kind of knife game you want to dare, the so-called stop word must still be agreed upon. This is a word with which you can end the entire game immediately. It is the lifeline that gets everyone out of trouble when things do get too violent.
Since Knife Play belongs to BDSM / Sadomasochism, a lot of attention must be paid to body and psyche. Threats with a knife are usually a criminal offense. However, in erotic lovemaking it can make a nice stimulus and be far from a crime.
The bottom must be sure that he wants it and the top must always be in control and keep in mind that only play! It must not get out of hand, all involved must always be able to feel safe. It must also be aware of everyone that after the Knifeplay the psyche can drive down.
It can come to a breakdown. You should be able to catch each other or have someone who operates accordingly aftercare.
