ABOUT A KINK
NEEDLE PLAY
Our recent LH needle play skillshare highlighted the various different types of needle play utilised in kink practice. Most notably during our skillshare we explored acupuncture, hypodermic needles and temporary piercings.
Needle play is a form of edge play with infection being a significant risk as this is an activity that breaks the skin. It also encapsulates blood play, pain, endorphins, sensation play, trust and ritual. It is critical that Tops in this activity gain thorough knowledge before attempting needle play as risks can be extreme and include death. When done correctly, needle play can provide substantial health benefits, pleasurable experiences and memorable photos.
Hypodermic needles involves using the kind of needles used to take blood, and inserting them into the skin, along the epidermis (the layer just under the skin) and then exiting back through the skin. The ‘pop pop’ of entering and exiting the skin creates pain and endorphin release, and is appealing to those who enjoy and/or crave it.
Patterns are often made with the needles. Different needle thicknesses (gauges) are identified by different coloured hubs on the needles, and then sterilisable items like ribbons, beads etc can be added, or items like feathers can be pushed into the hubs once needles are in place. Needles are most safely done on the areas suitable for impact play (see an impact play zone map) in areas without major arteries. Eg the back muscle area, buttocks, meaty parts of the legs and arms. Advanced needle Tops can also work on areas such as feet, hands, lips, face, genitals.
