The Vocabulary of Swinging. The D Words

The Vocabulary of Swinging. The D Words:
Every field of human activity generates at least a few words that have a special or unique meaning within its community of practitioners. Being familiar with such jargon can be more than useful if you wish to interact smoothly with people with greater experience in the activity. Swinging is certainly no exception.
At your next sex party, you would likely find few, if any, participants who know all of the terms defined below. But even the most arcane terms do pop up from time to time in magazine and Internet ads. So, in the interest of thoroughness, we have listed some words that aren’t really used a lot and included others just because they’re rather humorous.
Many of these words have retained the same meaning for several decades. Others change, and new ones are added as the scope of activities broadens or as people of different tastes become involved. If you should come across a term that isn’t defined herein, or feel that a different meaning is being ascribed to one that is listed, please let us know.
We have also included a few terms invented by or exclusively promoted from within the scientific community. Researchers have been known to spend inordinate amounts of time making up labels for various configurations of people and categorizing the people themselves under numerous and rather arbitrary headings. They then proudly publish their “findings” in learned journals. Luckily, most of these scholarly publications are bought for status reasons and are rarely read, even by fellow scientists, let alone by the people who are the article’s subjects. In contrast, we see each person as an individual whose unique characteristics are not subsumed within the group. So we have refrained from including most of the abstruse names that sociologists and psychologists have dreamed up for the “types” of swingers that they have “discovered.”
Also missing from our list are sex-manual definitions of coitus, homosexuality, etc. Anyone who doesn’t know the location and function of the clitoris should send me an email.
A few terms are described as “buzz words.” A buzz word is a term that has meaning only in relation to the user, and really doesn’t communicate accurately  if it is understood at all. We urge you to avoid using such buzz words in your communications.
When more than one definition is given, the one indicated by a lower number is preferable to or more common than any with higher numbers.
The “D” Words:

DAISY CHAIN  – A configuration of four or more people in which each person is orally stimulating the genitals of the person in front of him/her while simultaneously being stimulated orally by the person, if any, behind. If such a line forms a complete circle, the Daisy Chain is “perfect.”

DISCIPLINE  – Any act demonstrating control of one person over another that involves force or the threat of force and is found sexually stimulating by the participants.

DISCREET  – Not likely to do or say anything that might reveal a swinger’s identity.

DISCRETION  – An indication of the need for caution so that children or others who may open mail or answer the telephone will not be offended or made aware of the swinging activity.

DOCILE  – (see Submissive)

DOM – The person playing the dominant (controlling) role in an S/M scene.

D/S  – Dominant/Submissive.

DYAD  – Two people as a couple.
