BDSM
By Admin on January 6, 2015
BDSM is a variety of erotic practices involving dominance and submission, role-playing, restraint, and other interpersonal dynamics. The term, ‘Fetish’, may often broadly also relate to BDSM, as aspects of BDSM may also be regarded as types of fetishes.
The term BDSM dates back to 1969, however, the origin of the term BDSM is unclear and is believed to have been formed either from joining the term B&D (bondage and discipline) with S&M (sadomasochism or sadism and masochism), or as a compound initialism from B&D, D&S (dominance and submission), and S&M. Regardless of its origin, BDSM is used as a catch-all phrase to include a wide range of activities, forms of interpersonal relationships, and distinct subcultures.
Participants who exert sexual control over their partners are known as dominants or tops while participants who take the passive, receiving, or obedient role are known as submissives or bottoms.
The initials BDSM includes psychological and physiological facets:
• Bondage & Discipline (B&D)
• Dominance & Submission (D&S)
• Sadism & Masochism (or Sadomasochism) (S&M)
• Types of Play
The term bondage describes the practice of physical restraining. Bondage is usually, but not always, a sexual practice.
The term discipline describes psychological restraining, with the use of rules and punishment to control overt behaviour. Punishment can be pain caused physically (such as caning), humiliation caused psychologically (such as a public flagellation) or loss of freedom caused physically (for example, chaining the submissive partner to the foot of a bed)
Dominance and submission is a set of behaviors, customs and rituals relating to the giving and accepting of control of one individual over another in an erotic or lifestyle context. It explores the more mental aspect of BDSM.
Sadomasochism refers to the aspects of BDSM surrounding the exchange of physical or emotional pain. Sadism describes sexual pleasure derived by inflicting pain, degradation, humiliation on another person or causing another person to suffer. On the other hand, the masochist enjoys being hurt, humiliated, or suffering within the consensual scenario.
In our next issue we will explore the various categories of toys, tools and aids that may be used in a BDSM scenario and where to get them!
