PA; Also, Prince Albert

Paddles
(2) Flat objects made of wood, leather, or similar materials. Used for paddling.
(4) A spanking implement intended to be used on the buttocks. Paddles are traditionally made of wood but variations include leather paddles, usually with a rigid spine made of steel or fiberglass, and wooden paddles with holes drilled in them to reduce wind resistance when the paddle is swung and produce a harder contact. Any relatively rigid, flat objects such as a hairbrush or ping-pong paddle can also be used as a paddle.

Paddling
(2) Striking a submissive repeatedly with a flat, hard object. Paddling is usually done on the buttocks and/or inner thighs.
(7) The striking of a submissive, usually on the buttocks, with a flat instrument.
Pain
(3) In broad terms, pain is the body's warning that something is wrong; however, our pain responses are very complex and it is very easy to produce the effect of pain without doing any real harm to the body. The "pain threshold" at which a stimulus crosses the boundary between intense sensation and pain is a gray area in terms of our perception. BDSM is associated in most people's minds with potentially painful activities, sometimes referred to as "pain games". It is true; however, that some people actually enjoy or at least get some satisfaction out of the intense physical sensation. Some of the satisfaction may be attributed to the release of body chemicals also known as "endorphins". Most player's interests are a mixture of physical aspects and the psychological dynamics of Domination and submission, and some play with hardly any physical pain at all. Those for whom the interest in pain is predominant are sometimes referred to as sadists and masochists rather than Dominants and submissives.
(3) Aftercare is needed, and monitoring the one receiving pain is mandatory. Not for the novice for play.
Pain Pig
(7) A term used to describe a masochist who can't get enough BDSM stimulation.
(c) See also Pain Slut
Pain Play

Pecattiphilia
(9) Fetish for sinning by breaking religious rules.
Pegging
(8) A sexual practice in which a woman penetrates a man's anus with a strap-on dildo. Advice columnist Dan Savage wrote that he believes all men should try pegging at least once, as it may introduce them to a new enjoyable sexual activity and illuminate them to the receiver's perspective in sex. A few instructional movies and books have emerged in recent years, including Bend Over Boyfriend, produced by Fatale Media, Inc., and directed by Shar Rednour, SIR Video co-founder. As an accomplished author of numerous sex guides and informational books on various sexual taboos, Violet Blue wrote and released The Adventurous Couple's Guide to Strap-On Sex in 2007.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), with information published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), states that, "There is little published data on how many heterosexual men would like their anus to be sexually stimulated in a heterosexual relationship," but that, "Anecdotally, it is a substantial number. What data we do have almost all relate to penetrative sexual acts, and the superficial contact of the anal ring with fingers or the tongue is even less well documented but may be assumed to be a common sexual activity for men of all sexual orientations.

(c) "position" in this sense means posture or body carriage vs a person's place or rank in relation to others.
(10) Many slave training programs include an element in which the slave is taught to assume various bodily positions upon command. Positions are typically given short names (such as 'kneel') that correspond to very intricate specifications, covering not only overall posture (such as kneeling), but also precise positions of limbs and extremities (e.g. palms up, resting on thighs) and fine details such as eyes being cast down.

Many protocols require the slave to assume a given position in a specific context (e.g. kneeling when Owner enters the room).

Gorean adherents have a well-developed system of formal slave positions.

This 'power-exchange' forms the basis of most short-term BDSM play sessions and longer-term D/s relationships.

Predicament Bondage
(2) A type of bondage in which the intent is to place the bound person in an awkward, difficult, inconvenient, or uncomfortable situation, or to set out a challenge for the bound person to overcome.

Prostitution

(2) Any defined, enforced code of behavior which a submissive is expected to abide by. A protocol often imposes constraints and limits on the submissive's behavior, particularly in social settings; for example, a protocol may specify that a submissive is not to speak to another person without the dominant's permission, may not speak unless spoken to, and so on.
(4) Any defined, enforced code of conduct of behavior which a submissive is expected to abide by. Protocols often impose constraints and limits on the submissive’s behavior.
(10) A protocol is a rule or code of formally correct behavior, especially describing how an activity should be performed. In D/s, the protocol is usually symbolic of submission and is, therefore, a type of ritual.

The protocol is more specific than etiquette, which may also apply to informal environments.

Many different and often contradictory protocols exist in D/s circles, and it is better to speak of "my protocol" or refer to a protocol by a name (eg Roissy protocol) than refer to "protocol". Different protocols are conveniently defined and compared by writing a protocol schema - a systematic description of the Classes, Dress and symbols, Speech rules, and Deportment involved.

High Protocol
The phrase "High Protocol" is frequently used in D/s and the ownership subculture, but has no universal meaning. Most high protocols for submissives do share some common features, including:
  • Restrictions on speech (eg silence; speaking only when spoken to; requesting permission to speak; or specific forms of address such as "Sir, yes, sir!")
  • Deferential behavior (eg not turning back to the dominant; keeping head below theirs; kneeling when otherwise unoccupied; requesting permission to leave the room.)
  • Immediate response to commands, and concentration on the dominant and their requirements.
  • Serving or waiting without drawing unnecessary attention to the submissive.
The fictional protocol in force at Roissy in the "Story of O" is a classic example of a detailed high protocol.

High Protocol in front of people who are not members of the dominant's immediate household may also have some of the features of a performance. This is felt by Rene in the "Story of O":
O felt him watch her the way an animal-trainer keeps an eye on the animal he has trained, watchful to see that the animal, upon whose performance his honor is at stake, performs well
Pauline Reage, the pen name of Anne Desclos
  • From: www.seekdiscipline.com
Protocol schema
(10) A protocol schema is a systematic way of describing the set of rules which constitute a protocol. The schema is divided into four sections:
  • Classes - the groups of people who interact according to the protocol. This section should specify the relation between each class and any hierarchy within it. For example, that waiters serve customers in a restaurant, but that customers are served according to gender and then in decreasing order of age.
  • Dress and symbols - any restrictions or requirements relating to clothing, and any symbols such as collars.
  • Speech rules - rules relating to silence, forms of address, speaking only when spoken to, or ways of referring to oneself or others.
  • Deportment - rules governing how the individual walks, stands, kneels, or otherwise acts physically, in ways not covered by the previous sections.
Within D/s, it is natural that more emphasis will be placed on the submissive when writing out a protocol.

Provocation
(2) Attempting to gain the attention of a Dominant by negative means, such as angering or challenging.

(4) A type of gag consisting of a blunt, rounded, or penis-shaped rubber bladder, which is placed in the mouth and can then be inflated with air by means of a hand pump.
Punishment: also, Penalties
(3) Scenes where the Dominant "punishes" the submissive for "bad or unruly" behavior. Often performed in little boy/girl scenes which may involve spankings, time-outs, etc.
(10) In Ownership relationships, punishment is the application of penalties in response to disobedience or other forms of unsatisfactory behavior, and is part of the owner's structure of discipline. It is more often the loss of privileges rather than the infliction of pain, although both approaches are often used within a household.

In BDSM, the term punishment is occasionally used to refer to some forms of impact-based SM (eg caning) that are traditionally associated with school, prison, or military punishments.
