Body worship

Dominance and submission (D/s) and power play revolve around the consensual exchange of control between partners. This dynamic can manifest in countless ways—from bedroom-only scenarios to comprehensive lifestyle arrangements—all centered on one partner taking a controlling role while the other yields authority within negotiated boundaries.

People are drawn to power exchange for diverse reasons: the freedom found in surrender, the thrill of exercising control, the deep trust required, and the opportunity to explore aspects of themselves not expressed in everyday life. Unlike physical BDSM activities which focus on bodily sensations, D/s emphasizes psychological connection and the erotic potential of power differentials, creating experiences that many find deeply fulfilling on both emotional and sexual levels.

Worship in BDSM contexts involves focused adoration and reverence of specific body parts or the entire person. This can include kissing, massaging, praising, or otherwise demonstrating extreme devotion to feet, genitals, or other areas the dominant partner designates as worthy of special attention.

People enjoy worship activities for their intensity of focus and the explicit power differential they create. For the worshipper, there's often pleasure in demonstrating devotion through physical acts that center entirely on another's pleasure. For the worshipped, the experience of being treated with reverence creates feelings of power and appreciation that many find deeply satisfying as expressions of their dominant role.
