Rough sex, simply put, is more intense than regular everyday sex. Although not defined by one action, rough sex usually includes elements of spanking, biting, dirty talk, bondage, roleplay, domination, submission, choking, scratching, and the use of paddles, whips or other props. Rough sex may be considered to be a fetish due to how kinky it can get and is often described as wild, raw, or even animalistic.
