Talk:Edgeplay

New section
Removing these items from the list of edgeplay:


 * use of alcohol or drugs (e.g. ecstasy, amyl nitrite)
 * legal issues

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)


 * "regarded by many" might be considered more POV than what is revealed by what those who study the issue come to a conclusion. If it is part of a quote by an authority on the subject then it should stand but if just a mere statement then that phrase in any article should be avoided primarily because it does not have much of a "life" accuracy beyond the instant it is written since things can change.76.170.88.72 (talk) 03:28, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

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.24.19.38.175 23:51, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Something needs to change about this. The paragraph is copied verbatim from author notes on some web page and is not even marked as a quotation. What about copyright and notability? --94.220.1.47 (talk) 18:05, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

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?SFKrystal (talk) 23:13, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Reference material
I removed the book _Playing on the Edge_ as a reference because it is an ethnographic study of BDSM that does not address edgeplay at all. 97.115.161.215 (talk) 07:15, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you, but you also removed the BDSM template. Please be more careful.  HalJor (talk) 16:02, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
