Intensity as the medium: pressure, temperature, restraint, and sensation play.
Interests where intense physical sensation is the point: impact and spanking, wax and temperature, electro-stimulation, restraint, and sensory play. Several practices here carry real physical risk and require informed technique.
Many of these are mainstream and low-risk; others (breath restriction, electro near the torso, heavy impact) carry genuine danger and demand knowledge, negotiation, and aftercare. Risk is flagged on individual entries; the highest-risk practices are noted explicitly.
