Orientation Play

Updated: SEPTEMBER 26, 2015

Orientation play is also referred to as cross-orientation play.

More About Orientation Play

Orientation play is always initiated by an individual not engaged in the scenario. It could be initiated through a request from a submissive partner or a demand by a dominant partner. Another example would be if, at the request or demand of a partner, a gay male engages in sexual activity with a straight woman.
