Body Worship covers a family of consensual practices in which one participant expresses admiration, service or devotion focused on the body or a specific part of the body of another. It may be silent or spoken, brief or sustained, playful or ceremonial, sensual or ritual, and is typically framed by negotiated roles and limits.

Body Worship draws on much older devotional and courtly traditions and has developed within modern BDSM and Leather communities as a recognised expression of service and admiration alongside other consensual practices.

Communities differ on where Body Worship sits between service, fetish and ceremony. The Lexicon records the term as an umbrella covering many accepted expressions rather than a single practice.
