Hair pulling involves grasping and pulling a partner's hair, often during sexual activity. It can range from gentle tugging to firm gripping used for control, common on BDSM cams.
The practice appeals to many because of its primal nature, the combination of pain with pleasure, and the accessibility - no special equipment needed.
Technique matters for safety. Grabbing hair close to the scalp distributes sensation across more follicles. Pulling on ends is more painful and can cause damage.
Some incorporate hair pulling into primal play dynamics. Communication about intensity using safe words helps both partners enjoy the experience.
Safety Information
Grab close to scalp, not ends. Avoid yanking movements. Be aware of neck strain.
