Tunnel play

In BDSM, tunnel play refers to a practice that, once begun, cannot easily be stopped or reversed because the effects, process, or bodily reactions are only limitedly controllable. Substances or irritants such as erection medication, warming creams, ginger, essential oils, or nettle-based stimulation are sometimes mentioned in this context. The term is mainly used in the scene for high-risk, hard-to-control situations.

Tunnel play should be approached with extreme caution and carries significant health risks. Applying substances to sensitive skin or genital areas can cause intense pain, irritation, allergic reactions, or injury; erection medication should only be used after medical consultation and never lightly. Such practices should only be considered by very experienced participants with clear consent, a thorough understanding of the risks, and a заранее agreed emergency plan. Practices that cannot be safely controlled in reality should not be attempted casually.
