What does BDSM stand for?

In this post, we briefly go over what does BDSM stand for?

What does BDSM stand for?

BDSM is an acronym for Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, and Sado-Masochism.

BDSM involves an aspect of role play where everyone consents to someone taking a Dominant or Top role and the other person taking a submissive or bottom role.

Bondage is play involving any item used to restrain any part of a sub/slave’s body. Toy handcuffs, rope, fast release, and Velcro closure are the most widely used restraints.

Discipline is the actions taken by a Dominant to teach, train and prevent a submissive from acting in specific ways. Discipline does not typically include physical punishment.

Sadism is a source of pleasure that results from inflicting pain or humiliation or watching pain or humiliation inflicted on a submissive/slave.

Masochism is the tendency to derive gratification from being physically or emotionally affected.

BDSM demands mutual trust and consent between all parties. This means that it is not abuse. Despite some forms of play appearing risky, both partners must have already negotiated the interaction and space space to explore their fantasies.

The result is a profoundly intimate experience that can be incredibly liberating—and even healing—for those who participate.

BDSM requires consent by all parties involved, as it is based on mutual trust.

Consent is given before any activity begins. If anyone feels uncomfortable or unsafe, they must communicate this to their partner because non-consent is not tolerated and can lead to trauma and/or injury.
