Unfolding the Intricacies of Power & Pleasure
As we kick off our expansive series on BDSM, we start with the very basics: What exactly is BDSM? BDSM is a portmanteau of initialisms that represent several subcategories: Bondage/Discipline (B/D), Dominance/Submission (D/S), and Sadism/Masochism (S/M). It is an umbrella term that covers a broad range of sexual preferences, interests, and practices, each of them centred around a power exchange between consenting partners. Moreover, BDSM is not just about sexual activities; it is a distinct way of expressing and exploring relationships, advancing a unique balance of power, submission, and mutual respect.
