Tags and Definitions

[last edited: 29 Sep 2016]

The first thing that will become obvious immediately is the use of Japanese terms, written in Romaji. Kanji, hiragana and katakana script listed in the definition where I can find them. There are instances where I use the english version of a term, listing the romaji in the definition. Since I am limited to 200-characters per post, explained later, I use the shorter term where needed.

 The reason for the Japanese terms? I'm learning to write and read Japanese in my own, troubled & inconsistent style. (^_^)

 The definitions may be different from the norm as I have modified some of these definitions to better fit my needs. For instance, loli being a girl 13+ on this blog, when, according to most definitions I have seen, a girl begins as a loli in the neighborhood of 3- to 6-years-old, or post-toddler (and, yes, there is such a thing as toddlercon which will NEVER be posted here).

Another issue, you may notice that all the tags listed at the bottom of a particular post are not tagged to it, this is due to a limitation imposed by Blogger on the number of tags a post can have, 20 tags / post, or it may be the limitation on the number of characters of all tags being not greater than 200, again due to Blogger. I may look into a way of sidestepping this limitation in the future.

If you have any input you think would enhance this page, or the site in general, please PM me. Thanx.

    • blindfold — Use of a blindfold is said to enhance the remaining senses of the wearer, focusing attention on sound, smells and physical contact. This increased awareness is said to allow for greater excitement and anticipation by eliminating visual cues, as one cannot see what to expect. (source: Wikipedia↗)
    • body graffiti (身体に落書き or 身体に落書 hiragana しんたい に らくがき romaji "shintai ni rakugaki", lit. "graffiti on the body") — Fetish fairly commonly seen in domination / submissive play in which the dominant writes characters on the submissive's body in order to inflict shame and embarrassment to heighten the submissive role.

In Japanese, the character "sei" ("correct"; "proper"; "honesty") is used for tallies; five strokes are used to write it, so when completed it represents the number "five". When written (incompletely) with fewer strokes, it represents the number of strokes that have been written. E.g., twelve = 正正丅.)
    • bondage — Bondage or ligotage is consensually tying, binding, or restraining a partner for erotic, aesthetic, and/or somatosensory stimulation. Rope, cuffs, bondage tape, self-adhesive bandages, or other restraints may be used for this purpose. (source: Wikipedia↗) Sub-group: shibari.

    • teisou kigu (貞操器具 hiragana ていそう きぐ) — Chastity belts in BDSM may be used as part of a practice of orgasm control, to prevent the wearer from engaging in sexual intercourse or masturbation without the permission of the dominant, who acts as "keyholder". Chastity belts may be worn by both men and women as part of BDSM play. A chastity device may be worn for the duration of a sex play, for a limited period or as a long-term arrangement. (source: Wikipedia↗)
    • collar — In a BDSM context, a collar is a device of any material worn by a person around the neck to indicate their submissive or slave status in a BDSM relationship. (source: Wikipedia↗)
      • leash— An optional add-on for a collar, at times to add another sign of dominance, others to give the humiliating aspect of being a "pet".
    • denki anma (電気按摩 hiragana でんきあんま, lit. "electric massage") — A technique originating in pro wrestling, whereby the user grabs the victim by his feet and uses the leverage to grind his own foot into the victim's crotch. 
    • exhibition — This tag is of an action, by one's will or against it, or unconsciously fulfilled, exposing in a public or semi-public context those parts of one's body that are not normally exposed — e.g. ass, genitalia, breasts — or other actions or activities that are seen as perverted or sexual — e.g. bondage, crossdressing, total submissiveness, etc. (source: Wikipedia↗)
      • panchira (katakana パンチラ) — The term refers to an image in which a female character's briefs are exposed for any length of time. This may be accidental, result of a fall or gust of wind, or purposeful. (source: Wikipedia↗)
      • upskirt — Seeing up one's skirt. This may be accidentally or purposefully accomplished by either the viewer or viewed. Not to be confused with individual lifting their skirt for display. That falls under exhibitonism.
      • oppirayaku ( 大っぴら役 hiragana おおっぴらやく, "public use") — Oppirayaku means submitting your body for sexual and other, demeaning, activities (e.g drinking urine). The submitting may be voluntary or forced.
    • fisting (拳を振り上げ消えうせ hiragana こぶし お ふりあげ きえうせ kobushi o furiage kieuse, lit. Fist swing faded out) [I am far from certain on this translation, if you know a more popular one, other than a transliteration, please send word ~ Riku] — Fisting, handballing, fist-fucking, brachiovaginal, or brachioproctic insertion is a sexual activity that involves inserting a hand into the vagina or rectum. Once insertion is complete, the fingers are either clenched into a fist or kept straight. Fisting may be performed without a partner, but it is most often a partnered activity. (source: Wikipedia↗)
    • gag (口枷 hiragana くちかせ romaji "kuchikase" lit. "mouth shackles") — A gag is a device sometimes worn during sexual bondage and BDSM roleplay. Gags are usually associated with roleplays involving bondage, but that is not necessarily the case. (source: Wikipedia↗)
      • ball gag — A ball gag is usually made of rubber or silicone in the shape of a sphere with a strap passing through its diameter. A wiffle gag is a simple ball gag that replaces the standard solid rubber ball with a light plastic ball similar to the one used for the game of floorball. It is generally safer because there is constant airflow. (source: Wikipedia↗)
      • bit gag — A bit gag is styled like the bit used in a bridle for a horse, and much of its sexual appeal stems from fetishistic symbolism in pony play. (source: Wikipedia↗)
      • ring gag — Similar to a ball gag, except that the ball is replaced by a hollow ring. The ring reduces the risk of choking, and allows access to the mouth. Oral sex may be performed if the ring is big enough. A ring gag will cause the subject to drool uncontrollably, this often being the purpose of the gag. (source: Wikipedia↗)
      • tape gag — A tape gag involves the use of sticky tape sealing the mouth. The most commonly used types are duct tape, gaffer tape and PVC tape from two to three inches wide. Tape gags are often the simplest of gags to apply. If the wearer blows while the tape is on it makes it easier to remove, making it not the most effective gag. To better secure the tape, a long strip of tape can be wrapped around the lower part of the person's head. A strip from ear to ear under the jaw restricts jaw movement, making the gag more effective.
    • josei youi (女性優位 hiragana じょせい ゆうい) — Female dominance or female domination, popularly known as femdom, refers to BDSM relationships and BDSM scenes in which the dominant partner is female. (source: Wikipedia↗)

    • mask — Mask fetishism is a fetishistic desire to see a subject wearing or taking off a mask. Masks may include, but not restricted, to gas masks or animal masks.
    • netorare (寝取られ, most commonly abbreviated as NTR) — Notoriously controversial genre of hentai featuring cuckoldry (an act of adultery). As a fetish, NTR hentai are designed to provoke jealousy in the audience by proxy by having a character indulge in sexual activity with someone other than the protagonist. This has given NTR a highly infamous reputation amongst hentai fans, who frequently express their displeasure over the genre.
    • nosehook (鼻鈎 hiragana はなかぎ romaji "hanakagi") — A nose hook is a pair of small blunt hooks on the end of a strap. One hook is fitted to each nostril and when pulled on upwards, the device can be used to force a person's head back. It is sometimes used in BDSM or bondage play, especially in Japan. (source: Wikipedia↗) [The japanese term hanakagi, lit. "nosehook", is not the true japanese name, it may be part of hojoujutsu, martial art of binding and restraining people. If you know the actual japanese name comment it here. Thanx, Riku]
    • oshikko (おしっこ) — Kind of expression that very little children use, or, that parents or adults use to describe "taking a wee wee" to children. I thought this term was both cute and demeaning when an adult pees in unusual places or in sight of others.
      • ganmen shawaa (顔面シャワー kana がんめんシャワー) — Urine or golden shower, or facial.
      • inshu oshikko (飲酒おしっこ hiragana いんしゅ おしっこ) — Drinking pee, either from a bowl, glass or like, or straight from the source. This may be done willingly or forced.

Outside Japan, it is not usually distinguished from urolagnia (urine fetish), though they are different things.
      • shoubenwo suru (小便をする hiragana しょうべん) — An adults version of "taking a piss". (source: RomajiDesu↗)
      • morasu (洩らす or 漏らす hiragana もらす) — To wet one's pants. (source: RomajiDesu↗)
    • public facilities — On this blog I used both names, public toilet and public urinal, where a public toilet is there for public use at its pleasure, as a public urinal is strictly that.
      • public toilet (公衆便所 hiragana こうしゅう べんじょ romaji "koushuu benjo") — A very derogatory term for "a woman [or man] for sexual use by anyone", usually bound to a toilet or the like waiting for their next "customer". They are there for whatever is given or forced upon them and is rarely asked.
      • public urinal (公衆便器 hiragana こうしゅう べんき romaji "koushuu benki") — One who accepts urine and cum in any fashion the customer wishes. A public urinal is just that, a urinal. Customers piss in and around the mouth, occasionally jacking off with same target in mind.
    • petplay— Animal roleplay is a form of roleplay where at least one participant plays the part of an animal. As with most forms of roleplay, its uses include play and psychodrama. Animal roleplay may also be found in BDSM contexts, where an individual may be subjected to humiliation by being treated as an animal. (source: Wikipedia↗)
    • shibari (縛り hiragana しばり) — a Japanese word that literally means "to tie" or "to bind". However, this is a somewhat hidebound definition and the word shibari is now increasingly being re-imported from the West to Japan, as the tying communities are very much interconnected. Most Japanese kinbakushi do not object to the term shibari, as it's common vernacular in the global community. (source: Wikipedia↗)
      • balltie — Bound in a seated position with the knees up, the head bent down over the knees, and the hands behind the back.
        Commentary: This posture quickly becomes fatiguing and should not be used for extended periods of time on people who are not accustomed to it.
      • ebizeme (海老責め or 蝦責め hiragana えびぜめ) — Japanese bondage torture (bound victim sits cross-legged with their arms tied behind them, and the rope is tightened until their ankles touch their neck). (source: RomajiDesu↗)

      • matanawa (股縄 hiragana またなわ) — Bondage technique which involves the tying of rope around a woman's waist and a vertical rope, forming a T-pattern, which passes between the labia to apply painful or pleasurable pressure to the female genitals. A knot or series of knots may be tied to the rope lining up by the clitoris or ass. This is sometimes referred to as a crotch rope.
      • shinju (真珠) — Meaning pearl, shinju is a euphemism to refer to the binding of female breasts. It has been popularly claimed that "shinju" is an authentic Japanese term for a "bikini harness". However, no such tie called a "shinju" is found in historic or present kinbaku.
      • tsuri kinbaku (釣り緊縛 hiragana つりきんばく) — Suspension bondage is a form of sexual bondage where the bound party, known as the bottom, is suspended from one or more overhead points. It is seen as a position of sexual bondage, rather than a sexual bondage style. Suspension bondage can involve partial or full suspension. Suspension bondage usually follows a Japanese, or Shibari, style with intricate rope patterns, although suspension bondage using Western-style techniques is possible. Suspension bondage is considered to be more dangerous than other styles of sexual bondage.
    • subspace — Though subspace is not a term or tag I will be using in this blog, it is something that should be defined when dealing with the core of BDSM relationship and scenes there of. Within the context of BDSM, "subspace" is an altered psychological state that is often entered into by the person bottoming in a scene. It is not easy to characterize, because each person's reactions to BDSM play can be quite different — even a single person's reactions to play can vary from scene to scene. On the flip side, there is a concept little discussed when compared to subspace, that of topspace where the top or dom is subjected to a heightened psychological state similar to that of its counterpart.

I have yet to see the mention of this complex, even in manga dealing with it, so I coined this term. Jo is Japanese for daughter, the reason for hiragana and kanji representation. I could not find a shorter term for daughter in english.

    • Kemono (獣, ケモノ, or けもの "beast") — A genre of Japanese art and character design that prominently features fictional anthropomorphic or sentient animal characters in human-like settings and situations. It is used widely in drawing, painting, manga, anime, and video game designs, many of which are popular in the rest of the world.

      Human-like animal characters are called Jūjin (Japanese 獣人 or じゅうじん "therianthrope"; alternatively, these characters are also sometimes read as kemonobito "beast-human").

      Their unique design differs from artist to artist, but in general they combine popular character design with animal traits deemed cute and endearing. However, most kemono character designs retain a fundamentally human personality, seldom acting like the real animals after which they are designed.

      As such, kemono are usually shown living the way normal humans live in the same setting: speaking normal language, wearing normal clothes, eating normal food, living in normal homes, in ways that blur their distinction from ordinary humans.

      Currently, kemono art is often distributed through Japanese fanzine circles, "doujinshi." Fans of kemono are called kemona or kemoners (ケモナー kemonā), from kemono and English -er.

      There is also kemono which depicts young animals, much like cub art: kemololi (female cub) / kemoshota (male cub). (source: WikiFur) (see juujin)

        • kitsune (狐 hiragana キツネ) — Kitsune is the Japanese word for fox. Foxes are a common subject of Japanese folklore; in English, kitsune refers to them in this context. Stories depict them as intelligent beings and as possessing magical abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. According to Yōkai folklore, all foxes have the ability to shape shift into men or women.

          [...] Kitsune have become closely associated with Inari, a Shinto kami or spirit, and serve as its messengers. This role has reinforced the fox's supernatural significance.

        Like their Chinese and Western counterparts, they are thought to be spirits kept from a peaceful afterlife.

        Appearance:
        In the late 17th century, a game called Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai became popular, and kaidan increasingly became a subject for theater, literature and other arts. Ukiyo-e artist Maruyama Ōkyo created the first known example of the now-traditional yūrei, in his painting The Ghost of Oyuki. The Zenshō-an in Tokyo houses the largest single collection of yūrei paintings which are only shown in August, the traditional month of the spirits.

        Today, the appearance of yūrei is somewhat uniform, instantly signaling the ghostly nature of the figure, and assuring that it is culturally authentic.

        White clothing: Yūrei are usually dressed in white, signifying the white burial kimono used in Edo period funeral rituals. In Shinto, white is a color of ritual purity, traditionally reserved for priests and the dead. This kimono can either be a katabira (a plain, white, unlined kimono) or a kyokatabira (a white katabira inscribed with Buddhist sutras). They sometimes have a hitaikakushi (lit., "forehead cover"), which is a small white triangular piece of cloth tied around the head.
        Black hair: The hair of a yūrei is often long, black and disheveled, which some believe to be a trademark carried over from kabuki theater, where wigs are used for all actors. This is a misconception: Japanese women traditionally grew their hair long and wore it pinned up, and it was let down for the funeral and burial.
        Hands and feet: A yūrei's hands dangle lifelessly from the wrists, which are held outstretched with the elbows near the body. They typically lack legs and feet, floating in the air. These features originated in Edo period ukiyo-e prints, and were quickly copied over to kabuki. In kabuki, this lack of legs and feet is often represented by using a very long kimono or even hoisting the actor into the air by a series of ropes and pulleys.
        Hitodama: Yūrei are frequently depicted as being accompanied by a pair of floating flames or will o' the wisps (hitodama in Japanese) in eerie colors such as blue, green, or purple. These ghostly flames are separate parts of the ghost rather than independent spirits. (source: Wikipedia↗)
    • zombie — Zombies are undead creatures, typically depicted as mindless, reanimated human corpses with a hunger for human flesh. Zombies are most commonly found in horror and fantasy genre works. (source: Wikipedia)
    • yousei (妖精 hiragana ようせい) — (The term I am using for elves.) Yōsei (bewitching spirit) is a Japanese word that [...] may also denote a creature from native Japanese folklore. For example, according to an old folk belief from Iwate Prefecture, it was once feared that the yōsei could bring the dead back to life. [...] [T]he people of Mt. Hōrai are small fairies that have no knowledge of great evil, and so their hearts never grow old. The Ainu also tell of a race of small people known as the Koro-pok-guru in their folklore. Another fairy-like being from Japan is the Kijimuna, tree sprites told in the Ryukyuan religion of Okinawa. (source: Wikipedia↗)
