Language is one of the most beautiful techniques humans have developed to communicate with each other. Each language is unique and always evolving. New words and slang pop up every now and then to reflect our changing lives, experiences and cultures. How old were you when you learned that ‘eating out’ didn’t just mean going to McDonald’s and getting a happy meal?
Our language evolves as humans evolve, and new words are always being created to describe human experiences (the jury’s still out on whether we should make ‘fetch’ happen). While it’s okay to not know the definition of all things sexual, learning some could help if you find yourself in a conversation with your friends and the topic starts getting a bit *raunchy*. Here’s a glossary of sex terms you should know about:
Anorgasmia
This is when you have a difficult time reaching orgasm despite receiving the necessary stimulation.
Autosexual
Defined as a sexual orientation, autosexual is being attracted to or aroused by yourself. Talk about loving yourself!
Bareback
It’s a common term used among the gay male community, meaning sex without condoms.
Breath Play
Breath Play involves the restriction of oxygen to increase erotic play or to intensify an orgasm or sexual experience. This can either be done solo (autoerotic asphyxiation) or with a partner, where the submissive is the one who’s airflow is restricted.
Bukkake
A sex act and a genre of pornography involving a group of men masturbating in a circle and ejaculating onto another person (usually a woman) in the middle of the circle.
CBT
A.k.a, cock and ball torture. It involves pain or constriction applied to a penis and or testicles. Pain and pleasure definitely goes hand-in-hand.
Creampie
This is when a man ejaculates semen into his partner’s vagina or anus, and it visibly drips out after ejaculation during sex. Not that appetizing after all, huh?
Dirty Sanchez
This is a sex act where a person smears feces across their partner’s upper lip after inserting their finger up the stinker. Nope, we’re not bullsh*tting.
Edge Play
This term falls under the BDSM umbrella, and its a subjective term for types of sexual play that pushes you to the edge and challenges the conventional, safe, sane and consensual (SSC) scheme.
Foot Job
Basically a hand job, but with your feet. Any foot lovers here?
Golden Shower
The act of a person urinating on another, usually for the sexual gratification of one or both persons.
Impact Play
Considered as a form of BDSM, it’s when one person is struck repeatedly by another person for the sexual gratification of both parties.
Jelqing
This exercise can only be done by a penis-owner, as it’s a massaging exercise that aims to lengthen the penis by massaging your penis tissues, stretching the skin to create “micro-tears” that look engorged when they heal. Beauty is pain, and that includes getting a bigger peen.
Mile-High Club
Nope, it’s not anything related to getting high. It’s basically a slang term for people who have had sexual intercourse on an airplane in flight. Yup, as long as you’ve had sex on a plane, you’re part of the Mile-High Club.
Motorboating
When you put your face between someone’s breasts and move your head side to side quickly, while making a raspberry sound (“brr”) with your lips.
Pegging
When a woman performs anal sex on a man by wearing a strap-on dildo and penetrating her partner’s anus.
Pearl Necklace
This refers to the sexual act in which a man ejaculates semen on or near the neck, chest, or breast of another person, which supposedly resembles the look of a pearl necklace.
Pillow Princess
This most often describes women (mostly used by lesbian partners) who prefer receiving sexual stimulation rather than giving it to their partners.
Queefing
A queef is basically a farting sound that your vagina makes when it’s passing gas. The noise is caused by air moving out of your vagina which tends to happen during sex. Just don’t laugh when it happens, cause you’re just gonna keep queefing.
Queening
When a woman sits on their partner’s face so that they can perform oral sex. Basically a queen sitting on a throne.
Rainbow Kiss
Somewhere over the rainbow, there’s a pot of gold, other times, it’s a mix of bodily fluids. Yup, the rainbow kiss is basically 69-ing – but the other person is menstruating. Once both parties have orgasmed in each other’s mouths, they kiss, mixing all the contents in their mouths in the process, making a rainbow kiss.
Rimming
Slang for oral-anal sex, basically stimulating a partner’s anus with their mouth and tongue.
Rusty Trombone

Shrimping
Another one from the feet loving community, shrimping is when someone sucks on their partner’s toes for sexual gratification.

Swinging
Sometimes called, partner-swapping, it’s a sex act in which both singles and partners in a committed relationship engage in sexual activities with others. It’s a form of non-monogamy and open relationship where people have multiple sexual partners outside of their established relationship.
Teabagging
Anyone fancy a cuppa tea? This is a sexual act where someone places their scrotum into the mouth of their partner for sexual pleasure, resembling dunking a tea bag into a cup of water.
Venus Butterfly
This is a sex position where the focus is entirely on female pleasure. It’s when they stimulate their partner internally and externally, while the receiving partner lies on her back, legs spread and bent like a butterfly.
