The Lexicon

The Lexicon preserves the language of the Lifestyle — its words, concepts and traditions. It records meaning; it never prescribes practice. Where usage varies between Houses or lineages, each is set down with equal respect.

Practices

Foot Presentation

The ritual manner in which the feet are offered for attention or inspection.

Definition

Foot Presentation is the ritual manner in which the feet are offered — the position, gesture, posture and framing through which one participant presents the feet for attention, ritual, service or inspection by another. Presentation is often prescribed within high-protocol contexts.

Historical background

Presentation traditions across many BDSM contexts have shaped the vocabulary of Foot Presentation as a distinct ritual form.

Discussion

The specific form of Presentation is a matter for the dynamic or House and varies widely.
