Talk:Edgeplay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Removing these items from the list of edgeplay:

on the grounds that using alcohol or drugs is not edgeplay. Just because it's unsafe doesn't make it edgeplay. And What does "legal issues" mean in this context? --David Merrill 03:13, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Authenticity check: A search reveals that the phrase "regarded by many" appears in the text. Is the phrase a symptom of a dubious statement? Could a source be quoted instead? Perhaps the "many" could be identified? Might text be edited to more genuinely reflect specific facts?

I have heard "Edge Play," or "Edgeplay," in reference to S&M play conducted without a "safe word," but I don't have a cite. Has anyone else observed this usage? --ejstheman

I believe this bit is a direct quote from a book.

"What constitutes edgeplay varies with the persons involved, and also over time. In the mid-nineties, the Living in Leather convention did not have panels on ageplay or scat because they were considered too edgy. By 2000 they were part of the regular list programming."

When I get a chance I'll dig through my references and see if I can track it down.

I've always used the term "shadow play" for psychological edge play. Can't seem to find that term in a quick search to reference it, though. Anyone else use this term?
