CODES ENGLISH - English is a code or term that was often used when print ads were one of the only ways of connecting with other members of the hidden S/m community. This term or code is most often used to identify spanking or corporal punishment. In addition, there is English 'style' spanking. This style is distinguished by the rapid glancing or 'side' blows of the hands across the buttocks. Often the Dominant will heat the flesh through orienting the strikes to land or overlap each other in order to build on the level of intensity without virtually any risk of bruising or damage to the tissues. FRENCH- French is a code or term that is often used to describe the usage of the tongue. The term French Kissing evolved from the same source. This type of kissing involves tongue play between two people. In its broader extension French is also used to describe tongue play during oral sex or cunnilingus, and even as part of fellatio. There are some uses of the term French for tonguing during anal rimming as well. The French Training Harness was developed as a means to train submissive slaves in oral sex. The harness holds the mouth open so that the submissive cannot use their teeth to bite off the penis when inserted. The harness is designed with a mouth piece shaped like an O. This mouth piece is inserted into the mouth and then attached to the head harness or hood. Other forms of the French harness have been designed some resembling gags with removable centers which force the teeth into locked positions to allow for the same type of usage. GERMAN - German is a code or term often used to identify Sadomasochistic desires. GREEK - Greek is a term used to describe Greek Sex or Greek Training. In ancient times it was often customary for assaulting armies to tamper with the water sources of the area they desired to conquer. These water sources often originated at some distance from the village, fortress, castle or city. The defending armies (Greek) addressed this vital problem in part by developing what is called a Breeding Bench. This bench places the slave on all fours, elbows and arms, knees and shins. The bench is notched so that the breasts of the slave are accessible for 'milking'. This bound position allowed the soldiers of the Greek Armies to 'use' the female slave for sex (often anal), vaginal and even oral with little or no risk TO the soldier as well as drinking from her. JAPANESE - This term or code most often identifies specific forms of Asian rope bondage. The bondage techniques are designed to be extraordinarily visually beautiful as well as relatively comfortable and secure for the submissive slave so wrapped. Many of the designs are 'signature' designs and may incorporate images of fans or lace work interwoven into the bondage. Some artisans of this form of rope bondage use colored strands to enhance the designs further. Kama Sutra - This term is generally used to depict a man with many women and is often used in relation to depiction's of harems of slaves responsive to a single Dominant male. O - This code is sometimes used to identify Sado Masochism. The book the 'Story of O' made this identification famous within mainstream culture!
