BDSM
Updated:BDSM is an umbrella term for a variety of erotic practices involving bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism. These practices often involve consensual power exchange, role-playing, and the use of restraints or other tools to create intense physical sensations and psychological experiences.
Additional Information
BDSM practices can range from light bondage and playful spanking to more intense activities like elaborate rope work, sensory deprivation, and consensual pain play. The core principles of BDSM are often summarized as "safe, sane, and consensual," emphasizing the importance of clear communication, trust, and respect for boundaries among participants.
Many BDSM activities involve the use of safe words, which are predetermined words or signals that a participant can use to stop the activity at any time. Aftercare, which involves providing emotional and physical support after an intense BDSM scene, is also an important aspect of responsible BDSM practice.
