BDSM

BDSM is an umbrella term describing a variety of erotic practices involving Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadism, and Masochism. It encompasses physical, psychological, and symbolic aspects of power play and consensual kink.

Rooted in trust, communication, and mutual respect, BDSM is distinct from abuse. Clear boundaries, safewords, and negotiation are essential elements of any healthy BDSM dynamic.
