Cock worship encompasses many different acts of attention, stimulation and adoration of the penis - whether strap-on or biologically equipped. Anyone can participate in cock worship, regardless of sexuality or gender, as either the person with the cock or the person attending to the cock.
It can take the form of loving, sensual play, or be incorporated into different forms of BDSM, such as dominance and submission or even degradation. Because the penis is the center of attention in a cock worship scene, acts that provide pleasure and empowerment to the person with the penis are essential. These can include touching, stroking, licking, fellatio, use of sex toys, and more.
The worshipper is encouraged to embrace and admire all aspects of the penis, including its sight, smell, taste, and touch. Verbalization, including complimenting and romanticizing the penis, is encouraged. Some cock worship scenes involve spiritual elements and significant ceremony.
The physical acts around the penis are complemented by a sensual setting. The cock worshipper is meant to honor the penis and the power that it holds, as well as to express honor at being chosen to pay their respects with pleasure. In these scenes, the goal is to empower and inspire confidence in the person with the penis.
In a submission scene where the cock-owner is the dominant, the dominant may "force" the sub to honor and respect the penis and provide pleasure. While the dominant is guiding the worship, the submissive’s pleasure may be derived from providing lavish pleasure and honoring their role and dynamic.
Cock worship may also be referred to as penis worship or dick worship.
