BDSM

Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadochism & Masochism

Midori defines BDSM as, “Childhood joyous play with adult privilege and cool toys’”

Lola Jean describes BDSM as “The practice is a sexual exchange of power between consenting participants. If you're into BDSM, sex isn't just a satisfying physical activity or a way to feel closer to your partner — it's also a psychological thrill…While BDSM is largely associated with whips, chains, and leather ensembles, there are plenty of ways to ease into kink.

“Whether you’re considering exploring kink, dipping a toe into the world of BDSM for the first time, or have a go-to safe word, entering the arena of pain and pleasure can be both sexy and healthy. As long as all partners are on the same page, and willing and able to provide their active consent, there’s nothing wrong with experimenting as a sub or a dom”

“I like to call it ‘power play’ because, to me, that is at the heart of BDSM,” says sex expert Ian Kerner, PhD, author of She Comes First. “You’re able to use your imagination, create a scene, role play, and tap into themes that are interesting like submission and domination.”

BDSM is, to an extent, about pushing boundaries, but it’s not a competition: It’s not about how far, deep or painful you go, but about where you go together. It’s always wiser to take it slow and build up, rather than nosediving into the deep-end. Holly Richmond.

Key Ingredients:

Consent! - explicit consent, consent for even a hug. Each behavior must be consented to prior to engaging. It is voluntary - all BDSM behaviors/scenes are voluntary. Play is never required.

Scene - the preplanned & predefined rules where BDSM activities take place. Never interrupt a scene, if you don’t understand the behavior the individuals are engaging in, or are confused/alarmed by a scene, reach out to a DM or the owners

R.A.C.K - Risk Aware Consensual Kink. Understand the risk in any kinky activity.

Education! - without proper training it can be even more dangerous. Know what you’re doing. If you don’t know, attend events and training, seek a mentor, research. Education will help you better understand other peoples scenes as well.

Trust - is essential in connecting with another, creating a scene and for safety.

Communication - negotiations are a must have. It’s a mutual agreement to engage in kink play, honoring limits, having a safe word and setting boundaries.
