BDSM - or BDSM - is a game of submission and domination. Usually this is understood as erotic fun, although for some people sado-masochism can become a lifestyle.
Bdsm
BDSM is also called BDSM, and this abbreviation comes from the English BDSM. It, in turn, also comes from the abbreviation, but a little longer. Around the 1990s, the term BDDSSM appeared, where each pair of letters means something: BD (Bondage and Discipline) is bondage (bondage) and discipline, DS (Domination and Submission) is dominance and obedience, and SM (Sadism and Masochism) - this, in fact, is sado-maso.
As a rule, people who are interested in BDSM, in one way or another, try different directions of this trend.
Sadism and masochism
In the context of BDSM, sadism and masochism are the subject of an agreement, and all actions are performed with the consent of both partners, even if one of them (or both) experiences real physical pain during the session or is physically injured. This is a very important point. BDSM is not violence, although there is such an appearance in it. Usually partners agree on the so-called "stop word", and if one person says this word, the other is obliged to stop. The main principles of BDSM are rationality, voluntariness and safety.
Sadism is the desire to hurt someone. Masochism, respectively, the desire to receive this very pain. Partners with opposite tendencies find each other, and both are satisfied.
However, this is not always the case, much more often, if a person is inclined to BDSM, he is interested in both sides of the process. Therefore, when a BDSM couple is formed, they are more likely to experiment and change roles. This is called "switch", from the English switch, switch.
Roles and life in BDSM
Master and Slave (or Dominant and Submissive) is a very popular division. Someone is the leader, and the other partner obeys. When this is combined with BDSM, it is not at all necessary that the master, or dominant, should be the one who inflicts pain, and the slave is the one who would accept it. It also happens vice versa.
Bondage enthusiasts are people who love fixation of a partner, in other words, bondage.
Also sado-masochism can be both physical and moral. Of course, these phenomena are always suppressed to some extent, but the division exists, and it is obvious.
There are so-called "session" sado-masochists. These are people who live ordinary lives, but sometimes they want to break out of all this and feel like someone else. They may be very high-ranking or responsible in everyday life, but they want to relax in their sexual adventures.
In general, BDSM adherents can be divided into permanent and session ones, that is, those for whom it is a lifestyle, and those who simply decide to have fun or escape reality in this way, or maybe just diversify their sex life.
