A woman playfully bites the ass of a naked man laying on his stomach.
This fun photograph was suggested by Bailadora, who wrote in saying, “I love biting my partner, whether it be in the throes of passion or as depicted here, in a more playful manner. I love, love, love the fact you can see he’s laughing.”
I’m often reminded of the fact that what-it-is-that-we-do in the BDSM community is so frequently referred to as play. Far from being a coincidence or even a strange term, I think “play” makes perfect sense when applied to sex. Regardless of age, humans learn and grow and experience the world through play. It has become tragically obvious that children need time to play in order to do well in school. Similarly, adults need time to play to successfully do work as well, and this includes time to play sexually.
Further, laughter in particular is an extremely important part of my play. I laugh when I am having a good time; why should this not include when I am experiencing pain or sex? I laugh when I am being whipped playfully, and I laugh when I am orgasming. Sex, like all other experiences, can be as serious or as playful as you want it to be—and that’s more than just okay, that’s awesome.
