What is BDSM in simple terms

BDSM is not a specific perversion. Rather, it is a general term that encompasses a whole world of kinky entertainment. The three main pillars of BDSM are bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism. While these are all distinct styles, there is also overlap between them. The common thread that connects them all is that they all involve the practice of a consensual power exchange. And that is exactly what BDSM is all about – playing with power, pain, and pleasure to enhance one’s sex life. Before you can understand what you need for BDSM, you need to understand the terminology.

• Bondage and discipline is a subset of BDSM that involves the bondage and disciplining/education of the submissive partner. People who engage in bondage enjoy a power dynamic in which one partner gives up control by allowing themselves to be tied up or physically restricted. Think ropes, handcuffs, and restraint suits. Discipline involves “training” the submissive partner to behave in a certain way through verbal or physical punishment.
• Dominance and submission is another important part of BDSM. In every BDSM relationship, there is a dominant partner and a submissive partner. The dominant partner is the one in control; the submissive partner willingly gives up control. Dominant men are usually called Doms, and dominant women are called Doms. Submissive partners are called submissives.
• Sensory play is another type of sadomasochistic activity that involves sensory stimulation or deprivation. These include activities such as temperature play (e.g. ice cubes on the nipples or dripping hot candle wax on the stomach), tickling feathers and fidget spinners.

These are some of the simple terminologies of BDSM for beginners. If you are just getting into it for the first time and want to try something new, start with the simple level.

Instructions for beginners

It is impossible for beginners to get by without BDSM information. It is worth starting with a detailed study of each level and the peculiarities of this sexual game.

A common tool in BDSM is a safe word or phrase you can say when you’re feeling uncomfortable or need to slow down. Usually the stop word is said by the bottom or submissive, but it’s perfectly fine if you’re playing dominant and need something to stop or slow down. You can choose your own safe words, but they should be relatively short and easy to remember. You don’t want to be struggling while you’re being spanked. It’s best to stay away from the words “stop” or “no,” which you might say during role play if you don’t really want to stop.

Let’s say you want to try whipping and blindfolds. Add one of each to the scene. That way, you can let your man whip you without a blindfold if you feel comfortable with it. Then, next time, you can add a blindfold. It’s also better to stick to one fantasy at a time and not change the scenario. So, BDSM, what you need to know: find a stop word and ensure your safety, and gradually experiment with whips, ice, flogging. See what you like best first so you can experience it with your partner.
