This is where a male (or a female wearing a strap-on) enters another person's anus. The male or female repeatedly and rhythmically moves their penis or strap-on in and out of the anus causing pleasurable sensations for the receiver. It is essential to use plenty of lubricant and to start slowly to avoid discomfort to the receiver. This used to be a taboo and generally was performed by the gay community. Nowadays, both heterosexual and homosexual couples enjoy this form of sex.
BDSM stands for 'Bondage & discipline, Domination & submission, Sadism and Masochism. It is used to describe sexual acts that involve restraints, pain as a means of pleasure (e.g. sexual torture), humiliation as a means of pleasure (e.g. domination or punishments) or extreme sexual pleasures. There are various degrees of BDSM from the basic bondage where couples enjoy tying each other up to hardcore BDSM involving whipping, suffocation and burning. It is important to stress that BDSM should be acted out safely and should only be taken as far as everyone partaking agrees. Some acts are dangerous, especially some of the hardcore acts.
This is a slang term for male oral sex and is where the penis is cupped by a mouth. The person performing the blowjob then uses their tongue to pleasure the penis as well as sucking. Repeated suction and pleasure to the penis usually ends up with an orgasm and ejaculation. The person performing this oral sex act can either 'spit or swallow', spit being to spit the sperm out of their mouth or swallow meaning to swallow it all.
Bondage is a form of bdsm.
This is a toy shaped similar to a tall pyramid. It usually has a fat chunky base and a very fine tip. It is designed to be inserted into the anus as a means of sexual pleasure.

Use with plenty of lubricant to ensure a smooth entry.
Cock is a slang term for a penis and a ring is something that sits around the base of it. It is designed to constrict the blood flow to the penis making it harder.

Some dildos are also vibrators though the majority are not.
This is a sexual position. Usually this is performed by a man and a woman although it is a popular position for gay men or lesbians using a strap-on. In the case of a man and a woman, the woman kneels on all fours whilst the man kneels up right immediately behind her. His penis can then enter her vagina from behind.
In men this is the term used for sperm that is released upon orgasm. Pre-ejaculate is a clear fluid released by the penis before ejaculating. This is generally designed to lubricate the penis to ensure the foreskin has easy movement. In women, the term 'ejaculate' is generally used to describe the fluid that seeps out of the vagina when she is sexual aroused. This is designed to lubricate the vagina making intercourse less painful. Some women can achieve female ejaculation which is where a large amount of fluid is sprayed from the vagina, usually during intense sexual pleasure.

These are only some of the fetishes around and a surprising number of people enjoy a fetish of some sort.
A footjob usually describes the act where a partner masturbates their male partner by cupping their feet around his penis. The partner then moves their feet rhythmically up and down to masturbate the male. The overall aim is to make the man ejaculate. This usually squirts over the partner's toes or soles depending upon the position of the partner. The female version of this is where their partner strokes the female's clitoris with their toes and feet. Some women like their partners to slide their feet in and out of their vagina - a foot version of fisting.

These are quite expensive but offer a repetitive motion which can help create mind blowing orgasms!
This is usually used to describe the act where a partner masturbates a male's penis repeatedly and rhythmically in order to provide sexual pleasure to the male. Generally the outcome is ejaculation where the sperm shoots out of the penis typically landing on the partner's hand or elsewhere, depending upon the power behind the ejaculation.

They are designed to assist with gliding meaning it can help eliminate pain when performing anal sex or can help make masturbation easier. Two types are available: water based and oil based. Water based is runnier and can often last for a long time. Oil based is thicker and is not water soluble which means it takes a while to clean off the skin. Also, it breaks down latex which means oil based lubricant is not recommended for use with condoms.
This is also known as a 'tit wank' and is where a penis is placed between a woman's breasts. She cups her breasts whilst the man moves back and forth. Repeated movement can end in ejaculation. This can sometimes be combined with a blowjob. Sperm typically lands on the neck, face or breasts of the woman.
Masturbation is most commonly thought of as an act performed by the person themselves though this is incorrect as masturbation can be performed by other people as well. For men, masturbation is where the penis is repeatedly pleasured generally by anything other than a vagina (sex), mouth (blowjob) or anus (anal sex). Masturbation is a form of sexual pleasure and usually ends with an orgasm and ejaculation. For women, masturbation is where the vagina and clitoris are pleasured without the use of a penis (sex) or mouth (oral sex). Unlike men, after women orgasming it is usually possible to orgasm again. This means women can masturbate over long periods of time.
Whereas women generally dominate the market for dildos and vibrators, men dominate with masturbators. These are toys that are used by men to masturbate. They can either mimic oral sex and a handjob. Some are designed to resemble female body parts (e.g. a mouth or realistic vagina) and others are not.
Oral sex for men is often referred to as a blow job (the proper term is Fellatio). This is where the penis is pleasured by a partner's mouth until orgasm. For women, oral sex is where a partner licks both the clitoris, vaginal lips and vaginal opening. This is known as Cunnilingus. Repeated licking of the clitoris can result in an orgasm.
Short for pornography (and often misspelled as pron), porn is the term given to sexually explicit material or images. Pornography can be of two varieties: softcore and hardcore. Softcore is usually topless modelling and is more suggestive in nature. It is generally the exposing of the body and perhaps the genitals, usually in a modelling sense. Hardcore usually describes full nudity and the depiction of sexual activities. For example, a images or videos of a blowjob would constitute hardcore pornography as the subject is engaging in a sexual act. Pictures of a naked man or woman would be deemed as softcore pornography as no sexual act is being engaged upon or suggested.

These are generally used as part of bondage and are designed to either tie limbs together or to tie the subject to an object such as a bed. Restraints are often used to tie hands to ankles, wrists to thighs, or to tie wrists and ankled to bed posts. Some people like the idea of being tied or restrained whilst being sexually pleasured whereas others do not as it requires a loss of control.
These are generally inflatable dolls. Male sex dolls have openings so that the penis can be inserted into them (i.e. mouth, vagina and anus) whereas dolls designed for women have a dildo or vibrator that protrudes out. Whilst the more expensive dolls are more realistic in terms of texture and appearance, some of the cheaper dolls can look ugly and unrealistic.
This is generally refered to as 'Sex' and is typically where a male enters his penis into a woman's vagina. Various positions can be used with the standard position being the missionary position. This is where the woman lies on her back and the male lies on his front on top f his partner. He can then enter is penis into her vagina and repeatedly thrust in and out to result in ejaculation. Gay men typically perform anal sex as a method of sexual intercourse whereas lesbian couples tend to use a strap-on to achieve this.

The harness is worn around a woman's hips with the dildo sticking out generally where the penis does on a male. A strapon allows lesbian couples the freedom to mimic sexual intercourse.
