Top Drop -- See Bottom drop.

Topping From Below -- (derogatory) For a submissive to dictate the precise action in a scene. A term of contempt.

Top's disease -- A condition where a top or dominant projects the fantasy role into the real world with an assumption of superiority. This kind of person can be a real pain in the ass.

True -- A term when used in conjunction with "master," "dominant," "slave" or similar term rates, at best, a snicker. As a put-down to others, it says much more about the one who is using it than the one who is being put down.

TT -- Tit torture. The term applies to both males and females.

Urtication -- Using stinging nettles in scene play. They can be simply pressed into the skin or used as a whip.

Vanilla -- Not in the scene. A term used to describe ordinary, conventional life both sexual and otherwise. While it can be used in a pejorative sense, it is more often used to distinguish between scene and non-scene activities and people.

Violet Wand -- An antique medical device still being manufactured that creates a large, but harmless, spark and is used extensively in electro play scenes.

Saint Andrew's Cross -- An X-shaped cross.

Wrapping -- Allowing the ends of a whip to go around the target's body rather than hit cleanly in the target zone. When done unintentionally, it is a mark of a careless or inexperienced whipper and is usually caused by standing too close to the subject. The intensity of the stroke is magnified several times wrapping.

Wurtenburg Wheel -- A spiked pin-wheel intended for use by neurologists but taken up and used for play by ingenious scene players. The sensation looks intense but is generally perceived as pleasurable.
