Sacred Space Creating a space with intention that is held as sacred. This could be an altar, cozy spot or a whole room arranged with personal, relationship or family intention. Sacred space can be created in a bathroom for healing or in a bedroom for nurturing an intimate relationship. Objects, pictures, flowers, cloth and candles are often used in creating sacred space.
Sadist One who enjoys inflicting pain.
Sadomasochism The combining of pleasure and pain, giving and receiving.
Satyr Resembling Pan in artistic depiction, the Satyr is half man, half goat and has a wild, rampant sexuality.
Scrotum The pouch of skin that holds the testicles.
Self Pleasuring Masturbation. The giving of sexual stimulation to one's self.
Sensory Rituals Celebrating the senses and becoming more present in your body rather than your mind. Create a ritual in which one, some or all of the senses are stimulated. Using things that stimulate sight, smell, taste, touch and sound, bring yourself and your lover into present time and the delight of the senses. Use a blind fold when not stimulating the sight to intensify the perception of the other senses.
Silicone A material used to make sex toys that does not contain latex and is more compatible with the body. This is a good alternative for people who are sensitive to latex.
Spanish Fly An old remedy made from a beetle (which seems to be a health hazard) was said to increase the libido. Spanish Fly has a history of being sometimes fatal and having effects that are not considered pleasurable, including pain in the urinary tract and vomiting.
