BDSM
BDSM stands for bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, and sadomasochism. It is a form of sexual expression that involves the exchange of power and control between individuals, as well as the exploration of various components of domination and submission. This kinky practice often includes a variety of activities to bring out pleasure in both partners.Bondage refers to the use of ropes, handcuffs, tape or other methods to restrict movement during sex or foreplay. Discipline might involve giving or receiving orders, or the psychological teasing or humiliation which can occur during BDSM play. Dominance and submission are also key components of BDSM. One partner takes on a dominant role while the other submits to his/her wishes. This can be a psychological game or involve physical restraints or implements such as floggers, restraints and paddles. Sadomasochism (or S&M) refers to taking pleasure from inflicting pain on another person (sadism), as well as experiencing pleasure from receiving pain (masochism). This kind of consensual play often involves the use of toys such as whips, chains, clamps and blindfolds.Of course, all these activities should be done within safe boundaries; in other words both partners should agree what each is comfortable with before it begins, and safewords – words that mean ‘stop everything immediately’ – should be discussed in advance too.
